Blog Hypocrisy Day

I hate the idea of Blog Action Day with every fibre of my being. Why? Because all it achieves is a sense of self-congratulation: "I posted about how we should save the environment, thereby doing my bit." Well, here's the truth, everyone - nobody who doesn't care about the environment is going to be motivated to change by reading some angsty 17-year-old's "thoughts" on the matter, and while you were busy writing the damn thing, you could actually have gone out and, I don't know, done some volunteer work or something crazy like that. So the sum total of your efforts is effectively nil. But it gives you an inflated sense of your own moral standing - so I suppose the sum total is in fact in the negative.

Here's my post about how we should save the environment: all the people who are involved in Blog Action Day should throw their computers out of the window so they can't blog anymore and waste the earth's precious resources in the form of electricity.
