"Clean Coal Carolers" Killed By Rachel Maddow, Good Taste (VIDEO)

Via ThinkProgress

Wednesday, ThinkProgress reported on a holiday campaign by the American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE), a coal industry front group, featuring illustrated lumps of coal singing Christmas carols whose altered lyrics praised coal power. The campaign, which also featured a Facebook page, received widespread ridicule around the blogosphere and the press, and MSNBC's Rachel Maddow devoted an entire segment to it Wednesday night.

Now ACCCE has scrubbed the "Coal Carolers" from its website; the link to the old carolers page redirects viewers to a blog post posting that "it's time for them to go home for the holidays"

Here's a video of the little rascals at their peak.

And here's the Rachel Maddow segment that helped kill them. Enjoy!
