Green is Universally Stupid
NBC’s Football Night in America is in the dark. Their symbolic measure will save as much electricity to power the average American house for a month. I notice they didn’t turn off the bright lighted Toyota sign.
This all part of NBC Universal’s “Green is Universal” campaign. And I thought Earth Day made me nauseous. This is a whole week on a bunch of different networks.
The best thing is I don’t get to see Keith Olberman very well. At least these bozos didn’t try to pass one over by claiming they purchased carbon offsets.
UPDATE: Bryan Preston isn’t pleased either. Then Jimmie at The Sundries Shack has an idea:
I suggest that as part of NBC’s “Green is Universal” program, they tell us just how much energy their halftime interviews cost, in pounds of CO2. I’d also be interested to know just how many airmiles Costas, Olbermann, and the rest travel to cover the games, also in total pounds of CO2 emitted. Not that I don’t believe that NBC should broadcast football games, complete with pregame and halftime shows. I just want to know what their carbon footprint is for each broadcast so I can determine whether they have any grounds on which to criticize me for my lifestyle.













Did anyone ask John Madden how many MPG his stupid horse trailer gets?
