WOOOOOO! In your face, oil companies! GAS STRIKE 2011!!!

Oh man, do you remember a few years ago when gas prices where skyrocketing and a noble group of lazy, self-righteous people banded together on Facebook and MySpace, vowing not to buy gas for one day? Well, it looks like they're at it again: GAS STRIKE 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's right guys, we're not gonna take it. No, we ain't gonna take it. Anymore. Starting tomorrow, tens, maybe even hundreds, of people around the country will refuse to buy gas...for 24 hours.

That'll show those horrible gas companies who's boss! They'll totally be out thousands of dollars for one whole day. By Friday those big oil fat cats will be begging Americans to buy gas again. Of course the begging isn't necessary since Joe Six-Pack will be suckling at that sweet, sweet unleaded teet again by Saturday. Sunday at the latest.

Here's some breaking news for you aspiring gas strikers: You're accomplishing JACK SQUAT!

If you really want to show oil companies what for then decrease your freaking dependence on fossil fuels permanently. Get a hybrid car, walk or bike to your destination if possible, go solar in your home if you can afford it and stop using products that require oil to manufacture (good luck with that one, hippie - that's pretty much everything).

If you're unwilling to try ANY of those options then, by all means, go ahead and join that Facebook group. Your fellow inactivists will be proud of the sacrifice you aren't making. But keep this in mind: I'm totally going to make fun of you in my blog!
