Earth Hour or the new yearly joke
So I heard on tv that tomorrow everyone in the world should turn the light bulbs off for one hour at 8:30pm local time (wherever you are). Then I take a peek in the website:
"Turn your light off and take pictures, film it; blog or twitter about it"

Shuuuuuuure thing, Charlie!
After all, everyone knows computers and cameras don't use electricity to run. Neither do cellphone phones or TV sets for those who want to listen to channels speaking on how people have followed those.
Tell you what, I'll turn off my whole electricity system if TV channels do the same for the earth hour, otherwise fuck that.
You want to do something for the earth? Ok, then, throw your car and walk your kids to school, one mile on feet will burn your fat ass instead of buying shit from infomercials.
I'll accept to recognize the utility of Earth Hour the day you make everyone on Earth stop using their cars for a full day a year.

I had to laugh at that as well. I'll be 'turned off' at that time, most probably -- but only because I'm usually shut down then, & heading for bed. & tomorrow evening is an 'off computer' night anyway, as I *have* to spend some time sorting papers & some old magazines I'm listing on e-bay (been putting it off for like a month now).
