Environmental Media Awards

Emmys? Oscars? Geminis? Phooey. The award I look forward to is the Environmental Media Award for best use of environmental themes in TV and film. Why? Because every year they pick at least one TV episode that is actually making fun of environmental awareness and the very idea that TV shows should make us want to save the environment. This year 30 Rock won for its “Greenzo” episode — an episode whose theme is that environmentally-conscious TV is just a way for hypocritical super-polluting corporations to cash in on this whole green fad. So, to review, the Environmental Media Association has given an award to a TV episode that told the world that its whole mission is just a big scam.
