Lights Out!

Posted by: Wes    Tags:  Earth Day, The Dark    Posted date:  March 28, 2009  |  7 Comments

At 8:30 pm tonight, the WWF asks that we all, everywhere in the world, turn off our lights for one hour. Check the website for more information.

Here’s an artist’s representation of the event:

Not everyone thinks this is a good idea, for various reasons. Some think it is a pointless gesture intended to increase paranoia; some think it is not enough.

Jimmy Orr writes an overview here.

Here at the Contarian, we’re not going to tell you what to do (author’s note: unless the Poobah edits this part); rather, we offer it for you to think about. All I’ll say is it might be a good excuse to cuddle up with someone special, or meditate, for those of us who live alone in the woods.

I refuse to turn off the lights for the World Wrestling Federation.

I will, however, turn ON my heart light.

Wes Covey

You do realize you’re fucking with the Ultimate Warrior & Jake the Snake Roberts? Or at least that’s who you would have been fucking with when I was a kid. Can’t say I’ve kept up…

Casey

Junk Yard Dog, The Iron Sheik and Randy “Macho Man” Savage were among my guys.

Molly

I support anything that involves “the lights out”

Casey

Molly: I think I liked the cartoon more than I liked actual wrestling.

Matty: clever shill!

Molly
