These comments are going to rapidly devolve into a bunch of assh**es shouting about how hip they are by turning s**t on instead, failing to realize that this attitude is why they can never get laid.

It takes more power to run the printing presses to print the money they used to buy the advertising time which ran on transmitters that took millions of watts to run to be seen on millions of TVs that suck down power via cable boxes that use power even when off, that any "earth hour" will save. Sorry, this is stupid.

I did the same thing this year that I do every year on 'Earth Hour' day- host a LAN party. Nothing makes me happier than 20 1-Kilowatt power supplies going full steam...

In other news, a bunch of RedState goons tried to cancel out Earth Hour by running all their appliances at full speed (and generating a huge power bill for themselves in the process).<a class="user" href="http://wonkette.com/407348/redstaters-kill-the-environment-by-doing-laundry-baking" rel="nofollow">http://wonkette.com/407348/redstaters-kill-the-env ...</a>Unfortunately for them, I don't think a few extra Xboxen and nightlights could outweigh the industrial-strength Klieg lamps of the skyscrapers of most of the world's major cities.

What I did for Earth Hour: I forgot about Earth Hour. Which was disappointing, I would rather have knowingly gone against the whole thing.

"Participants spend an enjoyable sixty minutes in the dark, safe in the knowledge that the life-saving benefits of industrial civilization are just a light switch away.[...]Forget one measly hour with just the lights off. How about Earth Month, without any form of fossil fuel energy? Try spending a month shivering in the dark without heating, electricity, refrigeration; without power plants or generators; without any of the labor-saving, time-saving, and therefore life-saving products that industrial energy makes possible.

Completely idiotic. In addition, some friends and I turned on every light, lamp, computer, phone, and television in our dorms for the entire night, just for fun. Made some popcorn, too.
