THE GLOOM

So, after all these years they've finally figured out the way to make us save energy.

I'm talking about the new, energy efficient light bulbs that are now the law and how anyone selling anything other than an energy efficient light bulb can be imprisoned and shot and have their family deported to a space prison on the moon.

And the really great thing about these energy efficient light bulbs is how they're exactly like the old light bulbs, except for being funny shapes and a lot dimmer.  So, if you can get them to fit in your old light fixture, you have the joy of sitting in the greyish gloom of your living room, or squinting as you read by the dimness of that used-to-be-100-watt bedside lamp.

It is a truly genius plan, machiavellian in its intricacy.  You see, for years and years we've all willfully wasted energy, leaving lights on, burning the brightest bulbs.  Now nobody dares turn on one of their last remaining energy inefficient bulbs, because once they're gone that's it - you're in the gloom, my friend.  Ho ho, the Shadow knows.

By introducing a product that isn't really up to the job, finally the government has found a way to make us turn off the lights when we leave a room.

By George I think you've got it. I hate those cacky bulbs, there's no way the wattage light equivalent is the same as is the same. I'm with Angela Merkel.
