World cranks up computers, monitors, to celebrate Earth Hour
As Battlestar Galactica proved, Earth is important. It is so important, in fact, we now spend an hour each year engaged in a symbolic action designed to show how much the earth means to us.
Yep, that’s Earth Hour. All around the world yesterday the world turned off its lights for one hour to save electricity and fight global warming. That’s about seven hours less than every other day in the year where we also turn off of lights. We call that sleep.
Now look, I saw ‘The Day After Tomorrow’. I don’t want to be walking down a snow-covered embarcadero. If that’s the threat, then give me a shotgun and I’ll pick off every SUV driver I see.
But until then, do we really need to engage in these retarded symbolic actions designed to raise ‘awareness?’ And what is that awareness of? What did people do after ‘Earth Hour’? They turned the lights back on, booted up dual core computers with large LCD monitors to look at pictures of buildings with lights out for Earth Hour on the internet. That’s right, every time you type ‘earth hour’ into google you’re burning electricity at google’s server farms. That means coal and oil soot spewing into the air and into the lungs of native wildlife.
It’s a retarded symbolic action that doesn’t do anything else burn more electricity as these fanook hippies watch their earth hour coverage online.
