Zero Watt Emo Bulb: Pure Darkness... 18.99  E-mail
Written by Hank Green

It's wonderful to see that environmental issues are reaching the emo sect as well. It is worth mentioning that, obviously, emo kids do use less electricity than normal kids.

For one thing, they don't need to actually go anywhere in order to listen to music and be sad, so you don't need a car at all. And, of course, as lighting uses 20% of the world's energy, wouldn't we all be better off with our blue-black hair hanging down over our eyes in the eternal darkness of a zero-watt light.

Is it PC to mock the emotionally challenged? It's not their fault they are nuts.

Evan Almighty and Emo

Conisdering that I was once...and still kinda am...emo...I think it's OK.

Some of my best friends are emo kids.

As for the Evan Almighty thing...I don't know...I honestly haven't decided whether or not it's too lame for EcoGeek...maybe I'll have to go and see the movie first. I mean...I do love Steve Carell...and I didn't hate Bruce Almighty so who knows...maybe it doesn't suck as much as it looks like it does.

Thanks Hank. I'm undecided too. Could be worth a few chuckles. But they sure are stirring up a lot of news with their zero emission production claims, eco-initiatives, and charity offshoots.

They might not use cars, but think of the fossil fuels wasted powering the servers running their overly-elaborate MySpace pages!
