I certainly do not find that image offensive.

Overpopulation certainly is a problem, but a related problem is consumerism. I'm not going to get into a massive capitalist/socialist debate, but I will say this:

Thing of all the waste produced as a result of people buying packaged food from supermarkets, think of the fuel costs (and environmental costs) of transporting food around the world (my parents used to have something called 'seasonal produce', if it ain't in season, you cant't have it - not, go to Tesco and buy some that have been grown in Kenya), think of all the pointless electrical appliances left on 24/7, think of all the  crap that drops through your door every day (junk mail) and all the paper and ink required for that, think of all the areas greedily cleared to make way for massive farms - oh, but they didn't realise that without trees the soil will all wash away.

THIS is the problem, all the pointless crap that people 'need' because they have been convinced they need it, and all the associated environmental and financial costs....

Oh, and taking up Cymric's point, notice how its only total neanderthals who seem to procreate endlessly?
