Argot Navis

The New York Times has a story today about the Disovery Channel's new network, Planet Green. Watching TV is probably not the best way to “go green,” much like watching Trading Spaces is not the best way to redecorate your house, but I suppose it's still cool that “going green” is really starting to hit the big time in terms of people's consciousness of it. The NYT piece pokes a little fun at the network:

'Yes, the word “green” gets a work-out on the channel’s schedule. Tuesday’s programming press release uses the word 123 times.'

That is pretty funny. You'd think people would get it after the first 100 times or so. Also, the site for the press release they mention starts off with this:

“This site contains unique, energy-saving features from front end to back.”

I wonder if the black background is one of those features.
