Watts tried to counter Al Gore's 24 Hours of Reality broadcast. Here's the outcome in viewership.

(Update 11/15/12, 8 pm: As the 24-hour events concluded, the Climate Reality Project broadcast had exceeded 15.7 million views. The Watts Up with That broadcast totaled just over 16,000.)
So there were about 1000 people watching Al Gore for every Wattsbot.
Eli Rabett is a not quite failed professorial techno-bunny, a chair election from retirement, at a wanna be research university that has a lot to be proud of but has swallowed the Kool-Aid. The students are naive but great and the administrators vary day-to-day between homicidal and delusional. His colleagues are smart, but they have a curious inability to see the holes that they dig for themselves. Prof. Rabett is thankful that they occasionally heed his pointing out the implications of the various enthusiasms that rattle around the department and school. Ms. Rabett is thankful that Prof. Rabett occasionally heeds her pointing out that he is nuts.

If this video did not exist , it would be necessary for Watts to invent it.
When I rebooted my machine this evening and started up my browser I got the following message from Wordpress when I peeked at Judy's page:
"curryja.wordpress.com has been terminated for violating the Terms of Service Agreement"
Unfortunately as refresh left me looking at her blog. I really need to delete it from my default set of tabs...
The original Symphony of Science on climate change was Our Biggest Challenge which is even better (and has Alley and Asimov).
World of the Dinosaurs is also awesome.
Rhythms (?)
"Glorious Dawn" is still the best (mainly because Stephen Hawking has such an awesome singing voice)

Algore Square
Al don't sing and Eli don't spell
Blimey, that Stewart Lee's really let himself go (with apologies to non-Brit alt.comedy afficianadoes)

That seems quite unfair, as the Wattsathon is only a few hundred times worse than Gore 24 or the PBS auction.
