CNN--Armageddon Live and stay tuned for the rapture.
Kyra Phillips and Paula Zahn, part of the best Apocolypse Team on television. Stay tuned. We'll be right back after this break with more war and God and the latest on Mel Gibson.

How did Ted Turner's great innovation turn into this drivel.

3. Kyra needs a makeover. Starting with a new colorist
to get rid of the stripey hair and some advice on how to live without eyeliner. To me she looks like every highschool sophomore girl who discovered makeup and Clairol. Believe me, not only her hairdresser know for sure. 'Nuff said about that.


Now, ask me if Keith Olbermann is hot, and you've got a resounding shout in agreement. Kyra doesn't quite do it for me.

10. Do I detect a little...
sarcasm in this thread? Or, do you guys really believe that an omnipotent being is eventually going to appear in the sky and take away all the good people to heaven?

12. We believe that the CNN has become the digital version
of the National Enquirer or Star.

6. No, the rapture will be on pay per view
And the criminal fucks who are in charge of television will be charging $49.95 for people to watch the entire apocalypse.

7. Sometimes it feels like war is *the* American sport
At least you'd think that once the cheerleaders get going. Much bigger than football, basketball and baseball combined.

16. "War Ensemble"
Edited on Mon Jul-31-06 03:30 PM by jayfish
Propaganda death ensemble,burial to be
Corpses rotting through the night, in blood laced misery
Scorched earth the policy, the reason for the siege
The pendulum it shaves the blade, the strafing air blood raid

Infiltration push reserves, encircle the front lines
Supreme art of strategy, playing on the minds
Bombard till submission, take all to their graves
Indication of triumph, the number that are dead


Sport the war, war support
The sport is war, total war, when victory's a massacre
The final swing is not a drill, It's how many people I can kill


Be dead friend from above... When darkness falls
Descend into my sights... Your fallen walls
Spearhead break through the lines... Flanked all around
Soldiers of attriction... Forward their ground
Regime prophetic age... Old in its time
Flowing veins run on through... Deep in the Rhine
Center of the web... All battles scored
What is our war crimes Era forever more... war!


Propaganda war ensemble, burial to be
Bones shining in the night, in blood laced misery
Campaign of elimination, twisted psychology
When victory is to survive, and death is defeat


Sport the war, war support
The sport is war, total war, when victory's a massacre
When victory is survival
When this end is a slaughter
The final swing is not a drill
It's how many people I can kill

It's a great venue for watching, live, apocalyptic action.

15. I'm hearing the emcee at Milliways...
"So, ladies and gentlemen," he breathed, "the candles are lit, the band plays softly, and as the force-shielded dome above us fades into transparency, revealing a dark and sullen sky hung heavy with the ancient light of livid swollen stars, I can see we're all in for a fabulous evening's apocalypse!"

He could be working for CNN, except none of their people are that articulate.
:rofl:

19. Glad I wasn't the only one
I was thinking of the MC when I read that too (what was his name? Was he ever given a name? I lost my copy ages ago).

I think CNN started slipping when they noticed that Faux "news" was actually getting ratings by spewing complete shi* at the screen 24/7. They figured they had to spew it as well to compete.

18. House of Bush and House of Saud arranged for AOL to buy control of CNN
and push Ted out of the picture. Just as they have done with many other news sources and organizations over the last twenty years.
