Worst idea ever. I refuse to watch NBC this week. Turned off the office 2 mins into it when I started seeing the popup tips out of the side of the screen on how to be green.

I did like that 30 Rock was insane with the Green Week though.....I think Gore is an idiot for making himself look like a fool! Probs to NBC for putting a little comedy into it!

Hush.........I hear a helpless Whale.........I must go............wuusshhhh

It really only bothered me during the Cowboys-Eagles game.
I didn't know about green week yet, and the green peacock logo made it look like the network was rooting for Philly. :p

Wonder how they will handle this on Las Vegas tonight. One of those Vegas casinos must use a small towns worth of light bulbs and neon lights.

Who's more wasteful than TV stations?

Honestly, if you want to have a green week, stop broadcasting for a week.

I thought that the Office was freaking hilarious. The whole Les Stroud thing was great. Especially after Michael taped his pant legs back on. :laugh:

The return of Gore and Manbearpig in the Imaginationland SouthPark trilogy was fantastic. They made Gore look like such a fool and rightfully so.

It's funny they try pushing that crap on us when they are owned by General Electric.

30 Rock did it well also. That was a hilarious ep.

That would cause people to go out instead of staying in and watching TV and cause more global warming.
