Harrison Ford

You know him as Han Solo or Indiana Jones, but these days, "Harrison Ford Fights for Planet." Or so says "Good Morning America."

ABC's morning show devoted an entire segment on September 21 to actor Harrison Ford touting "Team Earth", an "action campaign" dealing with "pressing environmental issues." Ford said, "We need to come together, umm, to create solutions to the pressing, uhhh, environmental issues that face us ... "

With the entire on-air cast of GMA surrounding him, Ford stated that "... it's the time to come together and, uhh, make an effort to, uhh, um, make people understand that we require - not just here in the United States but throughout the world - meaningful climate legislation, uhh, from all of our leadership."

Far from questioning the need for climate legislation,  Ford's hosts helpfully prodded him along. Diane Sawyer chimed in, "And there are a lot of people who think this ... these are the months it must be done. We have to address what we're going to do if we're going to do something."

When I saw the headline in the NewsBusters' ad section for Deceiver's website "Harrison Ford Waxes Off His Man Fur for Mother Earth," I was expecting something tongue-in-cheek.

To my amazement, this was serious: one of my favorite actors of all time was actually waxing the hair off his chest to bring attention to deforestation.

Think I'm kidding, and participating in the joke?

Think again, for Access Hollywood hysterically reported Thursday (emphasis added):
