Yet another worthless gesture from the global warming as caused by Man morons

The Golden Gate Bridge, City Hall, Alcatraz and other parts of the city will go almost completely dark for an hour next month as part of a campaign to conserve energy and fight global warming.

Organizers of Lights Out San Francisco are asking city residents and businesses to install energy-efficient bulbs and turn off all unnecessary lights for an hour on the night of Oct. 20, a Saturday. The goal is to save 15 percent of the electricity consumed on an average Saturday night.

"The idea is to give people an opportunity to pause for a moment and think about energy consumption," said campaign organizer Nate Tyler. "A lot of people are thinking about what they can do to deal with climate change, and this is something very simple they can do to make a difference."

It will make a lot of people wonder "gee, it is the 21st Century, and I can’t have a black light and a lava lamp on while I smoke a J? F*ck that!"

And others will wonder how the hell they are going to get across the bridge in the frickin’ dark.
