Last night I started watching the Monday night football game late. I was not aware of the political pandering going on with the “green” football cast.

NBC was telling America to turn off their lights to save the world from “global warming”. NBC paid for a reporter to stand in the arctic for no particular reason to tell us that the snow is important, via 500 watt TV cameras and 1000

The level of idiocy from left wing environmentalist diverting America’s attention has reached new lows.

The viewers of Monday night football tend to have too much testosterone in their bodies to ever vote Democrat anyway.

While riots and overthrow is in the streets of Pakistan, which is a nuclear power, Liberals are saying global warming is the greatest danger in our world today.

The NBC stooges told us to turn off our 60 Watt Light bulbs while sitting and watching a 150 to 300 Watt television set.

Also we are watching a television showing a night time stadium using millions of watts of power so that the game can receive higher nighttime television ratings for the network.

A stadium dome light generally is around 2,000 watts and a stadium will have as many as 1000 lights in it for a night game, including internal lighting.

A 100-watt light bulb uses 100 watts.

A typical television is between 150 to 300 watts.

A central air conditioner uses about 3500 watts

That studio stayed air conditioned even once the candles were lit.

Outside the beltway blog gives us his views :
“Last night, though, NBC made its bid to surpass ESPN by “going Green.” Their logo was green. They turned the lights out in their studios and held flashlights up to their faces. They sent Matt Laeur off to the Arctic for some reason. All in the name of highlighting the need to save energy.

…………people tune in to football games to get away from this sort of nonsense. We don’t want an After School Special.

The reaction seems to be nearly universal, with all the blog coverage thus far going against NBC on this one.

*Sean Hackbarth notes that NBC “didn’t turn off the bright lighted Toyota sign.”
*Jimmie figures that powering down the studio set during the three hours when the game is on and the cameras aren’t on the studio set is mere common sense, rather than any grand gesture.
*Ed Driscoll and Sister Toldjah see this as part of a long line of political decisions by NBC.
