Punchlines: In honor of Earth Day, a new slogan for the planet


Considering how vital the planet is to our existence, we should be less prone to abusing it. But as the late-night comics pointed out in last night's monologues honoring Earth Day, we're guilty of all kinds of horrible abuses: overwatering in California despite one of the most severe droughts in the state's history; making fun of recycling; and throwing out tons of trash in New York City (even worse when that trash includes dead bodies).

But Jimmy Kimmel has the solution. What will make people care more? A snappy slogan promoting the importance of the planet. Examples: Earth, we've got tacos! Or Earth, not your momma's planet! Hear more, and find out which was the audience favorite, in today's Punchlines.
