1. I said yesterday that I loved Hollywood

that was before I knew Murdoch was behind this. I can't understand why he would market this with this timing. Maybe he just likes money more than he likes Repukes.

2. A volcano erupting in Hollywood?

Seems they could have stuck closer to what is known/predicted. This turns it into a joke.

"What you are seeing is happening now," says a breathless newsreader. "Look over behind me," shouts a TV reporter, "that's a tornado, yes, a twister." The film cuts to a volcano erupting next to the Hollywood sign in Los Angeles. A huge flock of birds flies across the sky, a mass of people is seen crossing the Rio Grande between Mexico and the United States.

4. You nailed it

Brought to you by the same "network" that brought you the "moon landings were fake" story.

6. Did you read the article?

it doesn't sound like the filmmakers were mocking anything. They even planted trees to neutralize the CO2 created by the making of their movie!

I heard a scientist on NPR last week who was talking about the Pentagon report on the dangers of global warming. "In the worst case sceanario" he said" The film "the Day after Tommorrow" isn't fiction". :scared:

7. We're talking Murdock here...

not the pee-ons that made the movie. They are just like us but Murdock is a different breed.
