Live Earth Ho-Hum-A-Thon

Planet Earth was underwhelmed by AlGore's (known as the Goracle to the rest of you carbon spewing mortals) EarthLive world wide concert. Reuters reports that, U.S. and British media were generally underwhelmed on Sunday by Live Earth, the mega-concert organized by former U.S. vice president and green campaigner Al Gore, which, though built on the model of Live Aid and Live 8, created a less positive buzz.

Further in the report Reuters notes that, The New York Times' online edition on Sunday featured a small picture of the event and a headline linking to "Artsbeat Blog," and in Britain only the Independent on Sunday made anything more than a fleeting reference on its front page.

This whole idea is so overdone, overbearing and formulaic as to reside in the permanent environs of the banal.

Hey guys let's have a concert featuring _____________, ___________, and ___________. To bring World attention to _______________ that way we can bring the whole world's attention to ______________ and help stop _______________________. At the end of ____________ we can all feel good and congratulate ourselves that we have taken a step to stop/end/slow-down/raise awareness about the problem of _________________.

These people have totally become a parody of themselves.
