Al Gore’s next crusade should be warning people not to stick their tongues into electrical sockets.

Sadly, No! brings us this gem from Canadian wingnut Adam Yoshida that simply must be shared:

Earth Hour: My Response

[…]

Thus, my response to Earth hour is as follows. When I finish this post, I am going to get into my car and drive first to Bellingham, WA, then to Lynnwood, WA, then possibly to Seattle. Before I leave, I am going to turn on every single light in my apartment (most of which, by the way) are incandescent 100w bulbs. I am also going to leave my television on (though with the volume muted, in a concession to my neighbours) and I am going to leave all three of my computers running, specifically encoding video files.

Yeah, it’ll cost me a few bucks. But, frankly, just for the pure joy of going against the grain - and of doing it while it’s still legal - I’m going to do it.

Also, while I’m in Washington, I’m going to purchase expensive clothes, doubtlessly produced by Asian child labourers. Needless to say, I feel good right now.

I'd like to think guys like this are a parody, and yet...

I think all the comments come together to form a rather beautiful pastiche of the true level of sadness Adam's post should inspire in us all.
