24 - Reducing Carbon Footprints

Well folks our favorite TV show has gone green. In the spirit of EnviroWacko-ism I am doing my part here as well.

Tony and "Jackie" have used their own personal time to let us know that only the hate mongers and bigots are still doubters of Global Climate Change. Last nights episode proved just how committed they are. In order to reduce their carbon footprint 32 people were killed last night and two new characters were introduced. That is a net footprint reduction of 750 short tons of CO2 per year. And one can only try and estimate Janine Garofalo's reduction efforts. The24LifeGroup tried to contact Ms. Garofalo for this week's blog but her assistant indicated she had flown via private jet to Ed Bagley's house to help till his garden.

10 Facts That Prove 24 is Environmentally Sound

10. Only one shot fired in last nights episode and that was Tony shooting himself. He's really not that green anyway. He's more turncoat yellow than enviro green.

09. While we are trying to validate this information rumor has it that all of the bullet proof vests worn on the show are made from virgin hemp. Obviously Larry was wearing his.

08. In order to stem the flow of foreign oil the FBI sends one helicopter with the ranking agent and leaves the other two with the night vision/infrared capabilities parked at the helipad.

07. Most of the filming is done at night and in low light conditions. When lighting is necessary only cool fluorescents are used.

06. No clothing was washed in the making of this show.

05. Janine Garofalo approves of this message. As does Al Gore. It's said he's a rabid fan of the show now.

04. Jack's grand-daughter is wearing clothe diapers.

03. All task force communications are solar powered which explains why they didn't have the tactical map up last night. I knew there had to be a reason.

02. The recycling of terms such as protocol, your comm, and stat. Obviously this is saving reams of script paper.

01. Not one person has used the bathroom saving an estimated 324 gallons of water. How did I arrive at that number? I made it up.

Two points that prove Jack is not thinking clearly...
1. He gave orders over the walkie-talkie that the suspect could hear, and
2. Tony is still walking around.

Jack's script for the next episode posted here first:
"Dammit!"
"We don't have enough time!"
"Cover me."
"Drop the weapon!"
"My name is Jack Bauer."

Ok, love the blog. The made up number of how many gallons of water used to flush a toilet....priceless. My big bone is with MS. Garofalo's interview on Drudge Report last week where she called "Tea Party Protestor's" racist and ignorant. She used terms much harsher than that but I refuse to stoop to her level. I think the more left 24 becomes.......the more they are going to polarize themselves and lose much of their viewing audience, myself included.

Once again, a brilliant summation. There is nothing left to say. However, even if the show has gone "green" and none of the dialogue is surprising and even if we do occasionally drift off to sleep during the "action", or lack thereof...one must watch just so these pithy and cutting edge comments make sense and the clever narrative of this "blogmaster" can be fully appreciated.
