Watch! An Inconvenient Truth The Opera

Al Gore's famous keynote presentation is already a book, Oscar-winning movie and popular topic of debate. So what more could Gore want? Jeeez, the presidency?

Following in the footsteps of such epic films as The Lion King, The Little Mermaid and Legally Blonde The Musical, An Inconvenient Truth will soon "hit the boards." And we're not talking the dregs of off-Broadway. According to The New York Times, Milan's legendary opera house, La Scala, is in contracts to mastermind a masterful production: An Inconvenient Truth The Opera.

Humph? Opera? That's a great way to spread the message to the masses . . .

Alas, opening night is not until 2011, but here's a little teaser of what the opera might look like--just to tide us over.

Please watch! I guarantee you'll get a good chuckle, especially from the last scene which features a very sweet polar bear, group of skeptical scientists and that infamous cherry picker.

I can't tell you how upsetting this for me.

An opera?! This is not even wrong. With an Oscar, A Grammy, and a Nobel we need a Tony here. I also think Gore himself needs a starring role as the PT Barnum-like empresario. I'm talking box office here people!

But where to open it? There's no way to land a G5 on the Shubert's pocket stage. This might be Vegas first this go-round. Can we get Wynn on the phone?

Unlike the film, I wonder if the opera is going to discuss the most inconvenient truth of all... that eating meat can never be green.
