This whole Earth Hour thing is so stupid

[MT2008]

Seriously! Is there anyone else on here whose neighborhood/apartment is participating in this idiocy?

It just as stupid as CA banning black cars.

Yeah! Almost forgot about that. Damn these people piss me off.

And of course, Edward Norton and Alanis Morissette are promoting the whole thing:

How much does anyone want to bet that neither of them are going to "inconvenience" themselves, even for an hour, by actually shutting down their huge mansions? Not to mention that you know they both probably have private jets and that their homes generate more carbon in a day than my hometown does in a year.

My neighborhood's doing it, much to my consternation. So, I have taken my laptop to a local coffee shop to wait it out.

Is the power company taking power off for your neighborhood, or do you not want to look bad? Id jeep my power on regardless of what others do.
