The Earth Hour farce: Turn out the lights, the party’s over

Lights aren’t the only thing that turned off on Saturday night. Earth Hour is dying and Mother Gaia is crying. These are dark days for eco-wackos.

Lights aren’t the only thing that turned off on Saturday night. Earth Hour is dying and Mother Gaia is crying.

You know these are dark days for eco-wackos when Treehugger.com, a division of Discovery, shares this bad news:

Earth Hour started in Sydney in 2007; by 2009 it had spread around the world, becoming a very big deal everywhere but in the USA, where it never really caught on; even the website is empty and looks bogus. This year, the Australian organizers promise over a billion participants in 133 countries. A lot of press releases are flying round the internet, but something seems to be missing. This year the lights are going out not with a bang, but a whimper.

Three years ago in Toronto, ten thousand people turned up to hear Nelly Furtado sing “Turn out the light” at an Earth Hour concert in Toronto; last year a couple of hundred showed up; this year the concert is cancelled.

Here at IHateTheMedia.com intergalactic headquarters we celebrated Earth Hour by turning on the electricity-sucking flat screen TV and watching Cops.

(Eat your heart out. You know you wish your life was as exciting as ours.)
