CNN Hypes Dopey Global Warming 'Name Change' of 'The Office' Actor

Hollywood actor Rainn Wilson, who memorably played Dwight Schrute on The Office, came up with a dopey idea to virtue signal his concern over global warming. He changed his name (sort of) to Rainnfall Heat Wave Rising Sea Levels Wilson. Well, not really. His legal name remains the same but his new virtue signal name is basically a virtual name for use on the web. 

In a saner era, this would just be written off as a silly publicity stunt. However, in this time where the news media will latch on to anything that advances the causes it is promoting, Wilson’s name change is taken seriously as you can read in the Friday story by Lisa Respers France, “Rainn Wilson announces name change to raise climate change awareness.”
