Sometimes technical, sometimes not, never a kitty

So the Live Earth concert was the other night. Apparently, it was beat in the ratings by almost everything else on TV. It cracks me up that anytime there's a serious issue in the media, someone thinks "We'll hold a concert!" Yeah, that'll solve the problem. I find it hard to believe that, if global warming is news to you, a concert will do anything to raise your awareness.

Has anyone figured out what the carbon footprint was for all those amplifiers, lights, broadcast equipment, and the paltry few TVs tuned in? Somebody plant a tree, quick, it's in the 90s today!
