Government encourages use of power in its campaign to reduce power

The Government is trying to curb our use of power by commencing a public education campaign.

Problem is, its a TV campaign, and you need to use power to see it. And if you want to see the campaign in comfort, you`ll probably have the lights and the heater on. Here at Big News, we suggest you turn your TV off at the wall to save power, and if you have a plasma TV, don`t use the standby button, it wastes power.

The best way the Government can use the television networks to save power is to shut them down for a weekend.
