As I thought... 'Live Earth' was Ho-Hum

Just search on the Inter-Web and get the real scoop on how well AlBore's "Live Earth" concerts did overall in TV ratings and ticket sales. And guess what?

"Live Earth" didn't sell out in the live venues, and in America and Britain, the TV ratings were nothing to boast about: Britian's Wembley broadcast had lower ratings than the Concert For Diana, and in the U.S., NBC's 3-hour special had no better ratings than any other Saturday night, which is the worst night for TV watching, according to the Nielsen folks.

The concert promoters in various venues were complaining that tickets didn't sell out because the audience just wanted to see the bands, and not all the ads, lectures by AlBore, videos, and other fillers crammed in between songs.

Also, there were a lot of complaints by TV viewers about 4-letter words being uttered by the performers (what else is new?). The only highlight is on the Inter-Web, where a lot of users logged into the video streams for a short time... and for for FREE.

Looks like once more AlBore and his fellow junk-science peddlers in the Eco-Whacko-left OVERestimated the stupidity of Average Joe.

"Live Earth" Hypocrisy

What a joke.

"Live Earth", AlBore's worldwide concert extravaganza, will cause an enormous amount of pollution to "create awareness" about the danger of causing pollution.

Oh boy! A whole bunch of spoiled musicians, who live in palaces all over the world, are going to teach the rest of us proles how to live better lives, all based on media hype generated from junk science. There's nothing like people who fly everywhere in private jets, bragging about how they're doing their part to "fight global warming" by monitoring their toilet paper use and paying others to run their air conditioners ten minutes a day less by dealing in "Carbon Credits".

And good ol' Al, who lives like a king in a huge, energy-hungry house in Tennessee, will have his chubby mug on tube all weekend... what a way to kick off another Presidential bid.

And in the end, whatever money is made from this event will line the pockets of the promoters, period. It's just another way to get you to give your money to people who "care". And, while the entertainers who are part of this show will "feel good" about having "done something", the fact remains that this public spectacle will do absolutely NOTHING to change the lives of the public at large. It's all smoke.

Personally, I think this event WON'T make the money the promoters are counting on. In fact, I think this thing will lose a TON of money. But to the Failure-Is-Really-Success Liberals, it will counted as huge victory in the War On Global Warming. Ta-da!

I'll tell you what: if you want to make a real difference in the lives of human beings, take all that money you'd blow on 'Live Earth' memorabilia or the upcoming concert DVD, and donate it to the Salvation Army. At least they can show you demonstrable results of the good work thet're doing
