Well??
Personally, I hope everyone from the Weather Channel (except Adam Berg aka "Fluffy") dies during a severe weather event. How stupid are these people and its no wonder why only 10% of Florida evacuated?

The coverage is ridiculous. I swear, I turned on CNN for like 5 minutes before the last one hit, and all they did was say the same thing over and over again. There are other things happening. IMO, the story should be that it's coming and the aftermath. All this action hero shit is just stupid.

Al Roker falling down during the Today Show was one of the funniest things I've ever watched on TV. He went down pretty hard too and then was screaming "I'm okay, I'm okay".

Come on! Are you guys kidding me? The only entertaining news I've seen in months is Geraldo and that MSNBC girl getting thrown around in 100 mph winds. Its this or the most recent attractive missing white female trial. Choose wisely.

Well I was impressed by the lack of coverage of the hurricane in Mexico. I guess the news doesn't want to show how to evacuate thousands of people who don't own vehicles.

I really haven't kept up with it, but last I heard there were over 30'000 tourists alone still stranded there.
If Soundgarden is perfectly fine with playing together with Tad Doyle on vocals, why the fuck is he wasting his life promoting the single worst album of all time? Holy shit, he has to be the stupidest motherfucker on earth.

I think you are confused by the word stranded. Yeah there are tourists stranded in Cancun because you can't fly planes during a hurricane. But most of the hotels shuttled people out of Cancun.

New Orleans does have a population about three times higher then Cancun, and an inept state government, and almost the entire city was flooded with water and not just hit by a large hurricane, but yeah it is comparable. Wish I lived in Mexico. They got their shit down over there.

Yeah I just think its funny how different people from Mexico and Cuba are when it comes to hurricanes. In Mexico and Cuba evacuations mean people evacuate. Here in the good ol US of A, mandatory evacuations mean lock yourself inside your house with supplies, turn on CNN or weather channel, and pray hour house doesn't blow away and if it does, blame someone else.

Last night on the weather channel the one reporter was claiming that hurricane Wilma was the strongest wind he ever has been in. If he is really serious about getting blown, he's in the wrong business if you ask me.

Those reporters are in less danger than the average contestant on Fear Factor and/or Survivor. I say let them do what they do.

All reporters are stupid. Does standing near whatever you're reporting on lend some extra credibility to it that telling the honest, unbiased facts doesn't? It's so stupid.
