I'm not going to stoop to talking about light bulbs any more, there are too many more important things in life. Sad f***wits.

Yes, nothing would persuade me to carry this on any longer by posting another message about it, have people got nothing better to do?

How many Freudians does it take to change a lightbulb?
Two. One to change the bulb, the other to hold the penis. I mean ladder.

I think the use of any form of electrical light is environmentally unsustainable. If you have something important to do, do it during the day time. You pigs are ruining the planet! Also, if you live in the North, move South. Not only is it brighter, but we have running water.
Posted: 19 Jan 2004, 14:40
No no no no no - light bulbs are the only currently viable source of illumination we have during the winter months, otherwise we'd be back to the middle ages and all going to bed at 4PM with the pigs. I think we are drastically underestimating the profound impact such a simple appliance has on our day to day lives, and can no longer afford to take them for granted. Electricity itself is clean, some of the methods used to generate it ain't, so lets deal with the problem rather than the symptoms.

Listen, let's just agree that changing lightbulbs is dangerous, using them is irresponsible, and talking about them is futile, because after discussing the issues here at length, I've come to the conclusion that they're never going to release any new models.
