The Greening of Prime Time

As if network television wasn’t already the most banal of human experiences, now comes a new wave of corporate slime – The Greening of Prime Time!

NBC gives new meaning to the phrase “green screen” next week, spreading a pro-environmental message across five of its prime-time entertainment programs. “30 Rock,” where Al Gore takes a cameo role, leads the way. Environmental themes were also added to the scripts of “The Biggest Loser,” “The Office,” “Heroes” and “Community.”

At least they’re putting on a good face – “Backstage, the show has done its part by removing water bottles in favor of water filters and using chemical-free cleaning products.”

Solution to such malarkey? Unplug the idiot box and take a hike.
