More "Slip, Slap, Slop" Needed

Double Benefit

Most of us have seen those grotesque twisted CFC light bulbs.  Their twisted rings are an ironic image.  Ugly is not too strong a word.

But they were invented to help us all save the planet.  When the stakes are so high, a little ugliness is tolerable.  They have been a Greenist cause celebre, latched on to by stupid governments.  In many countries the older, much better incandescent light bulbs have been banned.  Fortunately New Zealand just managed to avoid this lunacy.  The Green-Labour coalition was voted out just prior to Prime Minister Helen Clark outlawing the old and mandating the new.

Now it appears that the ugliness of CFC lightbulbs could well go much, much further than their aesthetic appearance.
