New ads, now with extra fearmongering!

[SirNitram]

I don't know where I'd link to, but I'm sure some clever bugger with volunteer soon.

Recently I've been seeing TV ads where a kid is asking their family what to do in an emergency. Specifically, a terrorist attack. And the Disembodied Voice then says every family needs a plan for a terrorist attack.

As if the colour code wasn't enough, eh? This is being shown in West By God Virginia. Most terrorists don't know we exist. Most Virginians aren't aware we're a seperate state. This is not exactly going to be high on the Must Bomb List. And if it was, maybe, just maybe, the retards doing this could have spent money on actually increasing security and defense on the chemical plants and storage units. Cause, you know, you only worked out that a rupture of one major storage facility would kill every living thing from here to the Atlantic Coast(The USSR apparently targetted two airbursts over chemical valley just to release enough toxins to scour the area around D.C.).

But no. We instead get this 'BE AFRAID. MAKE YOUR CHILDREN AFRAID.' bullshit.

Nitram, we must be prepared. Your accusations of fear mongering sound defeatists and stinks of leftist tendencies, when the rapture comes you will have a place in line for damnation and hellfire.

Fuck that. When the rapture comes I'll be raiding Circuit City for a plasma screen.

Hicks in Bumblefuck Nowhere are all about paranoid fearmongering. Hell, I remember the police chief of my bumblefuck town telling my high school class that the town's annual bumblefuck country music festival that attracted all of 8000 people to a town of 4500 would be a prime target for a terrorist attack. Not just a terrorist attack, but a SUITCASE NUKE ATTACK.

I kid thee not. Apparently he saw on Fox News that Russia
1) had built "suitcase nukes" (as in, the size of a suitcase), and
2) were missing several of these suitcase nukes.

And then on his own had the brilliant conclusion
3) Should a terrorist get his anti-American hands on a suitcase nuke, the first thing he would think would be, "Now I will detonate it in the middle of Bumblefuck Nowhere during a country music festival, killing a few thousand insignificant redneck infidels when I could kill many thousands or millions by detonating it in an actual city, thus putting the fear of Allah in the unrighteous. Allah Akbar!"

Yeah, sure buddy.

Hicks don't like to be reminded just how marginalized and unimportant they are. If these terrorists continue to hit NYC and Washington eventually they'll get tired and try to find an easier target right?

[Alyrium Denryle]

SO, Maya, do they, in fact, fuck bumbles in Bumblefuck nowhere?

There are still plenty of cities with populations of less than a million but still with tens to hundreds of thousands of people. Of course the police chief didn't want to hear my arguments.

[Mayabird]

SO, Maya, do they, in fact, fuck bumbles in Bumblefuck nowhere?

They used to, but then the bumbles got sick of it and wanted companions who, among other things, showered and could have an intelligent conversation that didn't involve beer, Jesus, and shooting road signs. So one day they left for the big city porno business, and though the name stuck, it's mostly just cows that get fucked now.

Can everyone tell how much I love my hometown?

You mean like the factory that's storing THREE TIMES the amount of what was released at Bhopal, India?

Oh, and dare I mention how in 2001 they CANCELLED Bridge Day because they were afraid terrorists would be attracted by all the people able to walk across the bridge, and how easy it would be to drop a bomb in the middle and knock down the bridge?

Yeah. Right. Terrorists in WV. NeoNazis, maybe.

When the rapture comes I'll be carving my own little Empire out of southeast Louisian-... no... CANADA!!!!!

Cold War II, anyone?

[Patrick Degan]

You people obviously don't appreciate the fact that the destruction of Bumblefuck Nowhere WV would deal a fatal blow to America, thus making it a prime target for Terrorists Inc™.

Maybe one of those loony eco-terrorists will spike a few trees in your state forests, or they might spray graffiti or try to burn down some new housing developments. But even that's doubtful, they get far more publicity from staging protests in major cities and burning down multi-million dollar homes in richy coastal areas.

[Tom_Aurum]

Something about supposed eco-terrorists. They hurt a hell of a lot of less people. Groups like the EFL for instance have rules about this, that no human should be harmed.

Maybe not directly harming them... but they will probably be the deaths of millions with the 34 years of research the Rodney COranado ALONE burned and destroyed.

Hah! The only areas of Canada to be depopulated in the Rapture will be Alberta and parts of the Maritimes. Just ask your raving neighborhood fundie.

Ecoterrorists tend not to be well organized large scale organizations, so they tend to be forced to talk globally, burn locally. Besides you have to remember that numerous student "activists" want to be flamebugs, but also want to be able to show up for Theta Sigma Phi's toga party. When your movement consists of college kids you tend not to go far from the sources of beer, women, and pot.

[Durandal]

Obey everything the Right says, or ... the terrorists win.

[Stormbringer]

So who the hell is running these ads anyway?
