BREAKING: Ohio Safe From Tsunamis

[meegbear]

THIS JUST IN: radio station 93.9 WMIA, Feel Good Music With the Best Variety, is reporting that Ohio won’t be swallowed up by Pacific Ocean tsunamis originating on the other side of the globe, according to an official at the oxymoronic "Ohio Seismic Network." Everyone please immediately make your way to Ohio. It’s the only safe place on Earth (unless you’re a union member).

Don’t expect the Japan earthquake to have any impact on Ohio. So reports Michael Hansen of the Ohio Seismic Network.

Whew.

So far this year there have been no earthquakes in Ohio.

That seems strange. How many tsunamis have they had this year?

Okay, this dumbfuckery makes sense now. And it’s going to appear on the websites of approximately every Clear Channel station in the country.

Once again: Ohio is SAFE from Japanese tsunami attack. But you will still probably die of boredom if you go there.

1. ......

:rofl:


edit: I can see that maybe my initial reaction was insensitive. Not meant to be that way. What I found funny was the assumed self absorption of the right even when pointing out the obvious. I apologize.

[SharonAnn]

12. But from tornadoes and right-wingers? Not so much.

[dorkulon]

2. LOFL!

That is...wow.

[frazzled]

3. How insensitive

What's happening in Japan is not the occasion for jokes. But leave it to Wonkette to comment on the least tasteful responses to anything.

7. +1

[AsahinaKimi]

8. +100

Not funny. Want to do something tasteful? Donate to the red cross!

[readmoreoften]

9. No. Donate to local relief organizations that actually help victims. The Red Cross has become a scam

[JuniperLea]

14. I feel the same way...

Not funny at all. I live in So Cal... we are at risk for EQ's every day... we are on the same Pacific Rim fault line as Japan... I'm finding this crass and highly insensitive. Hundreds of Japanese have lost their lives or are missing. Beyond crass... super fucked up.

5. But not safe from RADCIAL tsunamis

the latter don't have anything to do wtih... tectonic plates though.

[Rex]

6. Is it not a little early for bad taste?

Oh, Clear Channel...nm.

[nadinbrzezinski]

13. I started last night

but disasters bring out the gallows humor in me.

:hi:

[RZM]

10. Good to know

Though I don't agree with that 'die of boredom' part.

[LynneSin]

11. But if Ohio was to be affected - I hope they remember it'll be Union members there to the rescue

nuff said.

[Hardrada]

15. And that Union members everywhere will come to the rescue

wherever they are.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

21. Oh puuhleeze!

Union members??!! You mean the Muslim Brotherhood affiliated unin members that are out to destroy our way of life? Get real. :sarcasm:

:mad: :argh:

[catabryna]

17. Hilarious!

Clear Channel... nice touch! B-)

[dkofos]

18. Whose rights did they have to take away to make that so??

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

19. I survived Ohio. Lived there for over a decade and didn't kill myself or

anyone else. :+ I kid I kid.

[Curmudgeoness]

20. The Ohio Seismic Network? This is a government agency

and all I can say is that Ohio might want to cut funding to this one to cut their budget. They must have way too little to do to come up with this announcement.

Either that, or they had better not cut school funding, because if people in Ohio are really concerned about this, they need more education.
