No Mention of Kate Lowe?

Season 1, Episode 13 of Penn & Teller; Bullshit had a focus on Rainforest Action Network and their representative, Kate Lowe. Ms. Lowe was asked very simple questions about "Global Warming", logging, why the average American should be concerned about species extinction, and even why she is so passionate about her work... None of which she was actually able to answer. Penn was very careful to point out that Ms. Lowe was the "spokesperson they chose", not some random activist or protester. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Maize5 (talk • contribs) 04:14, 16 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I'd like to see something more about Kate also, but for the opposite reason: in the P&T episode, it's overwhelming obvious that she's just a kid -- probably a student organizer, and not a talking head. It was way too easy for them to catch her awkward stammering -- which is usually edited out as a courtesy -- and then fade out as she got a rhythm, albeit reciting the main lines of climate change. What more do you want from a student organizer at a random march, though? They easily could have called higher-up in RAN. I've googled around a bit but can't find anything about her.

Was trying to look her up to find out where she's at today in life. Furthermore, was trying to get insight into whether or not she was let go for incompetence, or did Penn and Teller (producers) edit the tape to make her look incompetent? 2600:1700:886E:2000:2D96:692E:24D3:C38 (talk) 22:54, 13 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But it does make a good point that the rank and file of the organization doesn't understand what they are protesting. It would make for a good research project, just inappropriate for Wikipedia. Mrs269 (talk) 05:58, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
