I agree, how stupid to turn of the lights during half time. What a joke! I agree that I will leave on every light in my 5000sf house to protest this silly jesture by NBC.

It is galling and just for that I’m going to leave mine all on tonight too!

Well, we all knew Olberman’s been “in the dark”, in a figurative sense, for some time now. Call this the literal frosting on that piece of bum cake.

How idiotic. I saw that nonsense. With all the power it takes to generate a broadcast from a studio do they think that turning off a few light bulbs and sitting in candlelight will make any kind of difference whatsoever?
Symbolic, hypocritical stupidity.
You can bet their lights in their mega-dollar homes weren’t off last night.

That’s the global warming debate, all fluff no substance.

It took millions of watts of power nationwide just to broadcast the carrier signal, whether the lights were on in the studio or not. Add to that millions of watts used by TV sets coast to coast and you have hypocrisy writ large!
I always thought it funny when local broadcasters, as a “public service”, tell their viewers what they can do to conserve energy. The one tip you never hear is “Turn off your TV and read a book!”

I didn’t see the half-time show, but I noticed that their little peacock symbol would pulsate green throughout the game. I just thought that they were rooting for the Eagles. It was gratifying to see the Cowboys make the Eagles look like a pee-wee league, flag football team.
