15 Patients Die During Earth Hour
Good job, Climahysterics. See what your silly “turn your lights off for an hour on a Saturday night” stunt has wrought?
Fifteen patients on life support and in surgery died at San Francisco General Hospital when power was cut for “Earth hour” on Saturday.
The hospital was pleased with their participation in the worldwide celebration of the planet. “We asked all the patients and their families if they were all right with us cutting the power. To a person, they all said as stewards of this planet it was their duty to observe Earth Hour. They knew the risks and were willing to take it,” said hospital administrator Lawrence Cho.
Cho said that it was a net gain for planet Earth, despite the deaths. “The dead patients will no longer use any energy, and actually will be turned into energy in our patient incinerator,” said hospital administrator Lawrence Cho.
Thanks, True Believers. Are you proud of your little stunt? Are you proud of yourselves? I bet you are.

You do realize that article is a spoof, don’t you?
Um, it’s an “Onion” style parody.
Well at least I can walk around the hill with my shoulders even now that one leg is considerably longer than the other. Job well done; snark and then some.
This isn’t funny.
It’s just stupid.
Especially since there is no actual mention in the article that it isn’t real.
I do know it is a spoof, Decidenator. Check the two last links. Same for you, Luke. A bit of silliness. Which, too be honest, I didn’t mean to cross post here at STACLU. Only meant to do it at my site.
A bit of gallows humor.
Death is dark anyway.
