I had no clue there was a possibility that incandescent light bulbs could be banned till last night, when I heard that Easy-Bake ovens were going to be re-made with a no-bulb heating system “in advance of an upcoming ban on incandescent bulbs.”
I went crazy! I mean, super-crazy! I actually flipped the bird at my TV screen – and I’ve never flipped the bird at anything or anyone in my LIFE. “F— them! F— THEM!!! THEY CAN’T DO THAT!!! They can’t take away my bulbs!!!” I pointed to the foyer lamp, blazing away in all its stark blue harshness. “Every single day, I want to TAKE A GUN AND SHOOT THAT THING! It drives me CRAZY! THEY CAN’T DO THAT!”
On and on, while my bemused husband just looked at me, his usually liberal, ordinarily polite and emotionally reserved wife having a big-government-cow-and-rant during what had been a peaceful evening reclining in the family room.
Evidently, there isn’t specifically a ban on the incandescent bulbs, just a requirement to make them 25% more energy-efficient. But I guess a lot of folks are thinking the end result will be a phase-out of incandescents.
Poop.
