Jay Leno drove to work today in an 84-year-old car. It sits in his parking space in the NBC lot, on this sweltering summer morning in Burbank, a 1925 Model T Roadster. “That’s part of my social experiment, being green,” he tells me. “It’s my theory that if you drive the same car for 80 years, you’re more environmentally friendly than buying a new car every five or six years, even if it’s a hybrid. I mean, that is the original green car. It has nothing on it. There’s no water pump, no oil pump. There’s no — it just has what you need to get from point A to point B.”So there you go. Saving the earth isn't about sacrificing or anything. It's about ... not sacrificing. Because sacrificing's stupid. Ha ha.
(I was going to write a long post about the type of humor Pluggers traffics in, but, really, just read Jaime's post, invert Leno and Pluggers, and you'll know what I was going to write without me actually having to write it.)
