Say it ain't so, Jack: The End of the World as We Know it...

I actually heard about this a couple of weeks ago, but I thought it had to be some kind of twisted joke--some kind of bad, bad dream.

Make that a nightmare.

"24" drinks the green kool-aid:

Remember all that media chatter in January about the hit TV series "24" being conservative?

Well, likely to the applause of Jack Bauer's green fans, the producers announced the following Saturday (emphasis added, h/t NBer amber):

"24," the Emmy Award-winning series from Imagine and Twentieth Century Fox Television, will strive to become the first television production ever to save enough energy and reduce enough carbon emissions over the course of a season to render its entire season finale "carbon neutral."

Star Kiefer Sutherland has already filmed a public service annoucement which begins: "Global warming is a crime for which we are all guilty!"

Obviously, Jack Bauer has cracked after spending too much time in a Chi-Com prison.

My friend Jeff Kouba has to be crying in his beer right now.
