Better detail , plus you get to see the Weather Channel guy rage about all the people driving and walking around and showing their penises in a weather emergency.

I couldn't stop laughing while watching this. The more they danced around him the more agitated he got. Let's not forget he's a jerkoff telling people to stay indoors while standing IN THE MIDDLE OF A ****ING HURRICANE.

That might be the greatest piece of news footage I have ever seen. And not just because its hilarious.
The juxtaposition of Bob Saget's dead serious "everyone panic!" tone and the clowns who clearly haven't heeded the "everyone panic" warnings is priceless.
Both are stupid ... and it actually says something about our society in a way.
Reasonable people, fed by a hyperbolic media, hitting the panic button over every last crisis that comes our way vs. stupid people who ignore obvious truths beyond all reason.
America 2011 in a hilarious nutshell.

Love the goggles on the ****ing guy.
I laughed my ass off watching this, loved the guys in the GMC who slowed down to take a cellphone picture.
This was better than any skit SNL would come up with.

I like how TWC circles New York City on the radar just so we can identify The Most Important Place In The Universe.

Honest-to-God swingin' **** on The Weather Channel.
This is the greatest ****ing hurricane of all time.

Most populous city in the country and the most important economically.
But, yeah, other than that it really doesn't deserve any extra attention.

For a ****ing Cat 1. Spnited weeps.
It's what happens when a hurricane hits the Mid-Atlantic states. A Cat 1 hurricane is a relatively frequent occurrence down south. But it's been decades since even a Cat-1 hit this far north.dixiehack said:
Also, it's New York, the largest media market in the country. And when something of significance happens in New York, the media goes into hyperdrive.

Any storm or natural disaster simultaneously brings out regional superiority and an inferiority complex. When it snows in the south or out west midwesterners mock their concerns and panic because back in the heartland, they can take 28 inches of snow and 40 mph winds and travel to their high school basketball games like it's the middle of the summer, even though every time I'm back home if it snows two inches people ***** and moan about the weather and fret about how it'll impact their travel.
If an earthquake hits anywhere other than California, Californians laugh and mock those poor folks who actually worry a bit or tell others that their apartment building started to shake. Don't you pussies know that Californians deal with 5.0 quakes on a daily basis and it'd take something like an, I don't know, 12.0 to really worry us? Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Californians, yes, freak out, when a quake does hit their land.
Just because a region is used to a weather pattern or meteorological event, it doesn't make you inherently superior, tougher, grittier or scrappier than David Eckstein. It just means you're used to it. Since New York City hasn't been hit by a hurricane since 1821, you can see why it's being discussed and talked about online and on TV. The media did not shut down the subway systems in an unprecedented move or evacuate several parts of the city. I know, those who deal with the hurricane threat on a yearly basis have balls of steel and sit out on their decks with their babies while the canes roll through and mock the effete elite who live in the big city and quake at quakes and buy two bottles of water because of the threat of a hurricane.
Because, as we know, this is the first hurricane in history that's ever been covered by the news. Never before have TV reporters gone out into them. In fact, I think I just saw Dan Rather hanging on to a street sign down the block. He's never gone out in bad weather before. This is unprecedented **** the media's doing. This only happens if it's going to hit NYC. When a hurricane only approaches Florida or the Gulf, you never see any coverage. ****ers. East Coast bias, same thing that means I've had to watch every ****ing Red Sox-Yankees Sunday night game on ESPN since Fred Lynn's rookie year.
The inferiority complex comes from those who say "Well, if this happened to us, it would never be mentioned on TV, except for perhaps as a brief in a newspaper." It's the equivalent of a swimming parent calling to ***** that the paper never covers the 86-team invitational and only covers the boys basketball team.
Maybe this turns out to not be too bad. And then we can all mock those nerds at the weather service and hurricane centers who worried about this thing. And we can mock the media for talking about something that could have happened. Don't they know they should only report on things that have happened and not give people a heads-up about what could take place? Or, it could be a storm that produced flooding unlike anything the most populous city in the country has ever seen. Could cause damage, could kill people. What's the minimum number of deaths and dollar damage that makes it okay for TV and the rest of the media to mention that New York is getting hit by a storm?
Now, I have to go back to my couch and tweet about people down south bitching about the heat. Saudi Arabia mocks their alleged "heat wave."
