Live Earth was no Transformers
Nothing helps the environment like a massive rock concert held by the private jet set that thousands of people who can’t afford carbon credits drive in their gas guzzling cars to see:
THE global Live Earth pop extravaganza fell flat for television viewers in the United States and Britain, drawing far smaller audiences than the Princess Diana tribute concert a week earlier.
The main three-hour American TV broadcast on NBC averaged a meagre 2.7 million viewers, ranking as the least-watched US program on Saturday night, and falling below NBC’s summer prime-time Saturday average, Nielsen Media Research reported on Monday.
Even the rival ABC’s rerun of the animated Monsters Inc had a bigger audience — 3.3 million.
This is shocking, in a “not at all” kinda way. Who in God’s name wants to be told by a bunch of vapid celebs who fly around in private jets that they’re destroying the planet by using too much toilet paper and falling asleep with the tv on(watching…vapid celebs)? I’d rather call all my friends and tell them to catch my ten minute spot on the 3am dong lengthening infomercials.
Just kidding…but not really

You are ridiculously correct. Transformers was actually entertaining, and in air conditioning. Live Earth was the epiotome of performance mediocrity under hot-as-hell conditions… and in New Jersey, eww, to top it all off. I spent $60 on bottled water alone. AND those bastards wouldn’t even let me keep the water bottle cap. Aside from a select few performances, it was a waste of time. They may have attempted to get me to save the environment and take the ‘pledge’, but what the hell do I care about that for when I probably have skin cancer from sitting there all day in the blazing sun. Thanks, buuuut never again.
