    Media loves catastrophic events.
    Katrina appears 10x worse maybe because it hit the ghetto and many too broke or inept and taking care of themselves. This does not seem like "The Perfect Storm". It's all about ratings.

    That being said, stay safe and fight the good fight. I'll be out there next week to assess the damage to my family's place.

        Shit was overblown.

                the media

                so fukin stupid

                my favorite part of the last round of new Beavis and Buttheads was the reporter who kept saying "But don't think for one second that this is over............."

                the media

                unreal

                get a real fukin job, do something constructive for society

                    i'm thankful for the media, especially for the hot news chicks it provices

                    Carper, you ever watched the naked news?

                    I love it

                    actually pretty informative, I prefer the guys giving the news because they seem to read the teleprompter more smoothly

                        It'd be the same if a Cane hit the West Coast. Neither coast is prepped for this sort of thing and they don't build downtown buildings in NYC thinking about 85 mph winds. So of course it's going to be treated like a monumental event because a storm that might not fukk up the South as bad is going to crush parts of the Northeast that aren't ready. Rain is really the bugaboo from this storm and/or snow. If this had hit the Gulf Coast, it would have just been another weaker Hurricane with a shit ton of rain.

                                      WOOWWWWWWWW!!!!

                                      dude

                                      this guy is even on another level than bobby!

                                      this guy has the It factor in platinum to spare

                                      this guy HAS IT

                                      when bobby watches this it will be like when Pete Townsend saw Hendrix for the first time and he was just blown away and was like "wow maybe it's time to quit"
