Think leaving a light on in an empty room is a crime? Well, it might be if this program sponsored by a British electric company takes off: it's called "Climate Cops" and using a slick, hyper-flashed website, it's recruiting kids to patrol their homes and neighborhoods for "energy crimes."

Using games to let kids "join the academy" (the games include chasing SUVs and saving polar bears from melting icebergs) the new little deputies can download doorhangers to signify a room where a violation against the planet are taking place, everything from leaving the water running to using the clothes dryer on a sunny day. The "Climate Cops" are encouraged to spy on the adults around them to create a "Climate Crime Case File" and encourages them to keep guard to make sure violations don't happen again. While it could be a cute idea, when the green blog Treehugger compares you ever so subtly to Hitler, maybe you've gone over the green edge.

What do you think? Hot idea or lights out?

Way to support the arts, reporter dude! That young artiste looks like she's in shock, but I'd run if I were you. She might be ready to strike, especially if you keep laughing.

If you ever wondered what Van Halen's Runnin' With the Devil sounds like without music — just David Lee Roth's shouts, screams, shrieks, exclamations, grunts, and whistles — here's your chance! How thoughtful of him to leave many uncomfortable silences in between for you to laugh your ever-lovin' ass off! Why is this funny? I couldn't tell you. It just is.

With the Lunch Bucket vs. Barracuda match up a hair over 24 hours away, the sassy, classy debate moderator Gwen Ifill has found her plate full of more than just prepping questions. Ifill, the PBS news maven and moderator of Washington Week, broke her ankle on Monday, though her doctor has given her the A-OK to travel and keep her debate duties. She called the accident, "Another crazy twist in a crazy week."

The week is about to get crazier if Matt Drudge and many others have anything to say about it. The top story on the DrudgeReport is of Ifill's upcoming book, set to be released on Inauguration Day called The Breakthrough: Politics in the Age of Obama. The book focuses on "emerging young African American politicians," one of whom is Barack Obama. The book also includes interviews with Colin Powell, Newark Mayor Cory Booker, and MA Gov. Deval Patrick, though given the climate the focus is on the big "O." Does that make for an uh-oh in a moderator?

Dear Sugar,

I am a 25-year-old professional. Yesterday, the 27-year-old man I had been dating dumped me in a four-sentence email. Two days prior, I met his sister and brother-in-law for the first time and we shared a wonderful dinner with all of their friends. His reason for ending the relationship? My personality was too similar to his sister's and it made him feel "strange." He said that while she is (and I am) a good person, it wasn't what he was looking for. He refuses to discuss this in person and I am having a tough time as a result. I need a better understanding of why he would choose to break up with me by email, and why for those reasons? It just doesn't make sense to me. — Need More of a Reason Rachel
