Nickelodeon wants you to go outside tomorrow

You know how a lot of kids will actually play with an empty box instead of the toy that came inside the box? I'm thinking something like that is going to happen tomorrow when Nickelodeon goes dark for three hours: a bunch of kids just staring at the black screen waiting for it to come back on, maybe hitting the top of their TVs, changing the batteries in the remote.
Starting at noon tomorrow, Nickelodeon will show nothing for three hours as part of a program to get kids to go outside and exercise.
