The Wintery Scenario

I was watching the local news (although I would hardly call what they do news, it's more like ambulance chasing and stunt journalism) and I actually heard the meteorologist say the phrase "we are expecting a wintery scenario between 7am and noon"

What the hell is a wintery scenario?

I have no joke to follow that up. You can only joke about things that are stupid to a point, eventually you come to a point where it is so stupid you can't even make fun of it...

...And we have reached that point.


However, that reminds me of another thing that pisses me off...

...What the hell is the deal with people going off the deep-end every time the weather forecasters predict 3 or more inches of snow?




NEWSFLASH:

You don't need 3 gallons of milk and 7 loaves of bread to survive a snowstorm.



Honest to god, what do you think, you're going to be snowed in for 5 months? People buy the dumbest shit when a snowstorm is predicted, and it has to stop.



I suppose I hate winter because people do the stupidest shit during winter storms, which apparently includes locking their pets out in the snow so they capture their pet's misery on film for everyone to enjoy at a later date.




That's it for right now. Check back soon, more posts are on the way.


Thanks,

The Rat's 2007 Fiasco Movie Preview

Here's just a partial list of movies debuting in 2007 that have disaster written all over them:







Blades of Glory
Will Ferrell is not funny. Period.






Evan Almighty
Talk about sequels coming out of nowhere.








28 Weeks Later
...and you thought the original movie [28 days later] didn't make any sense












The Simpson's Movie
Seriously?







Live Free or Die Hard
You know a movie is going to suck when the extended trailer has one line of dialouge in it







Transformers
Cool graphics, and Shia Labeouf is seriously underrated, but a live action Transformers movie?
