Glenn Beck: Jack Bauer goes green?
24 Going Green PSA – Kiefer Sutherland
GLENN: Last night were you watching 24? Because here’s what happened. The very end, I’m going to blow it for you — no, I’m not. Here it is.
VOICE: Here at 24 we are committed to reducing our impact on climate change. We believe we can’t solve this problem in 24 hours. By making energy-conscious decisions on our set, we are contributing to a solution. Please go to Fox.com to learn more about how you can join 24 in helping solve the climate problem.
GLENN: I want to know if that website got a single hit from anybody who watches 24.
STU: (Laughing).
GLENN: I want to know. I mean, unless you were sending an e-mail to them going, you dopes, don’t you know who your viewers are? I can’t take it. I can’t — the only thing that’s worse is if it would have been global, "And we also want you to know global warming is not caused by Muslims."
STU: (Laughing).
GLENN: "Oh, gee, really? Okay." Jeez.
DAN: Glenn, for those who clicked on it, there’s an exciting statement on the site about how 24 has become the first ever carbon-neutral television production.
GLENN: You know what, look this up. I remember reading this story two years ago when they changed the set over. Look this story up. There was controversy around it and it wasn’t because, you know, what, are you stupid? They were playing some, it was some carbon shell game if I remember right. It’s been two years since I’ve read it but look at it. Remember it’s been two years since this show’s been on and so when they did, they said, "This next episode is going to be all, it’s going to be carbon-neutral." Oh, shut up.
STU: All carbon-neutral. It’s all a shell game. There’s never an exception to that rule.
GLENN: So look that story up and give it to me tomorrow, will you?
DAN: It says they reduced its Season 7 carbon footprint by 43%.
GLENN: Mmm, that’s fantastic. Well, it’s 43% better than.
STU: It’s better than what? Better than not doing a television show?
GLENN: Season 6.
STU: Evil Season 6.
GLENN: Oh, evil Season 6, I mean, made children in Ethiopia hungrier.
STU: Is it one of those things, though, where you have to pick your battles? I get upset about a lot of things, but 24 is a very positive thing in my life. I enjoy it quite a bit.
GLENN: Favorite line last night, favorite line last night.
STU: Yes.
GLENN: Let’s see if we can all think about it in our head. Say it, Stu.
STU: You’re weak.
GLENN: Yes. "You are weak." You weasel. You weasel. You watch. You watch. That senator, he’s going to be crying. At the end he’ll be crying. Weasels.
