Have you ever noticed how the "homeland security" department's....
Edited on Tue Apr-27-04 12:47 AM by Mattforclark


/begin rant

color coded threat level meter does NOT correspond to ROYGBIV (electromagnetic spectrum)? It's ROYBG(IV) instead of of ROYGB(IV)!!! Does this make sense? At all? Whose stupid idea was it to not utilize that as a tool to make it easier to remember what order the colors go in? Are these the same people who are supposedly protecting us against terrorists? And why is it called the "homeland" security department, anyway? Can't we have a slightly less fascistic name?

2. That one's even MORE perverse
not only does it keep the screwed up color order, but it associates Elmo, of all muppets, with the GREATEST THREAT OF TERRORIST ATTACK!

Also, it will lead to the downfall and utter destruction of heterosexual marriage as people flock to get divorces, because Bert and Ernie are gay.

3. Makes no sense at all...

I guess they didn't get my memo.

Sorry...I have no point...just couldn't resist.
