I guess when you have Tommy Lee and Ludacris involved in promoting sustainability, the same old stunts just won’t cut it.

Take for instance this bizarre gathering going down later on this afternoon at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas. In an effort to promote water conservation, the famous drummer and his rapper competitor will attempt to break the record for largest group shower — which makes little sense when you realize it’s all happening in the hotel pool. Semantics aside, the stunt does have the blessing of the Las Vegas Valley Water District — which says the pool will later be drained, the water processed, and recycled into Lake Mead. If your tap tastes a bit like Tommy Lee later on, you’ll know why. From the article,

“Ludacris and Lee are inviting fans to join them at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino pool on 19 May for a bid on the clean record. But the two hellraisers are keen to keep the shower a family affair – and they’ve asked that all those hoping to take part bring and wear a bathing suit.”

Anyone want to bet how long the clothing rule lasts?

But the big question: Is this eco-friendly? Not really. I mean, the message of water conservation may be pushed at the event, but chances are 90% of the people already there will have showered in the morning anyways — and will shower again afterwards. We’ll have to see what goes down later to truly judge, but hopes aren’t high at this point to expect anything more than a Guinness certificate.
