  Greenlight - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
GreenLight is also a European Union program to reduce lighting energy use, which accounts for one third of the energy use in commercial buildings.
To greenlight a project, in the context of the movie business, is to formally approve production finance, thereby allowing the project to move forward from the development phase to pre-production and, barring disasters, principal photography.
A project which is financed is said to be greenlit or greenlighted and a studio executive who has authority to grant greenlight status to a project is said to have greenlight power.

 How I stopped an Internet sex hoax. - By Cyrus Farivar - Slate Magazine
It all started on the weekend of July 4, when I spotted a discussion on the Web site Metafilter about a new fad called "greenlighting." The dubious claim was that an "emerging underground [group] of sexually promiscuous teenagers" had started wearing green shirts with the collar popped up.
When a greenlighter spotted a fellow traveler, he yanked his or her collar down, triggering anonymous sexual escapades.
A guy named "Toothy Toothing" (later revealed to be a British magazine editor) sold gullible journalists on the idea that British teens were initiating anonymous sex acts by typing "toothing?" into their Bluetooth-enabled cell phones.

 Greenlighting hoax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Greenlighting was a roughly three-day-long attempted Internet hoax launched by Something Awful users on the evening of July 2, 2005, primarily as references to the "greenlighter message board" (now defunct) or as postings on said board.
The hoax referred to a new sexual practice in which men and women wore green shirts with the collars turned up, and had sexual relations with whoever turned the collars down.
The first posting regarding "greenlighting" on an open web forum appeared on metafilter.com on July 2, and the first reference to "greenlighting" on Usenet appeared on July 4.

July 2, 2005 7:56 PM Greenlighters are an emerging underground movement of sexually promiscuous teenagers, including bisexual, homosexual, and heterosexual members.
The Greenlighting thing is obviously a weak attempt at an urban legend.

Driven by the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement and the NAFTA, Canada’s merchandise exports to the US reached US$255 billion in 2004, while imports from the US were US$163 billion, for total two-way merchandise trade of US$418 billion, leaving Canada with a merchandise trade surplus of US$92 billion.
In this article, adapted from the publication, Greenlighting Trade: A Trade Corridors Atlas, from the Work Research Foundation, the author drills down on the numbers and finds that Canada-US trade can be broken into six corridors, largely along regional and sectoral lines, such as the Ontario-Michigan automotive corridor, and the Alberta energy corridor.
And for those interested in the Canada-China trading relationship, I have something to say about that in the introduction to the core of the piece.

 ICv2 News - Will Seinfeld (Get His) Drone On?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Dreamworks, headed by Seinfeld cronies Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg, is the major studio behind this saga of anthropomorphized bees working in a highly structured "urban" environment, which may bear more than a passing resemblance to the upper West Side of Manhattan.
While traditional 2D animation may be in trouble in the U.S., the success of Ice Age and the Pixar Pics has led to the greenlighting of an increasing number of CGI animated features.
With Seinfeld's incredible clout, which stems from the long running popularity of his TV series, the only thing that could stand in the way of Bee Movie would be its author's own dissatisfaction or boredom with the project.

 Zoolander Movie Review at Hollywood Video
Rated PG-13 on appeal for sexual content and drug references.
One of the great Hollywood paradoxes is that studios keep greenlighting scripts based on TV skits when the successful films in this accursed subgenre, until now, amounted to exactly one: Wayne's World.
Since most of these ill-advised expansions land in the Saturday Night Live dung pile — The Ladies Man, It's Pat, and A Night at the Roxbury — you'd think the industry would enact a self-imposed ban on sketch-comedy flicks.
