I know that there are far more important items to discuss in regards to Live Earth, but this is just way too cool.

Do you stay up at night dreaming of a real leader in the White House? Well, try dialing 1-900-RUN-GORE, for only $3.95/minute!

And have you ever wondered what the world would look like if Gore had become President the first time he won the election? Family Guy takes a look:
