Poll question: How many of y'all take the homeland security color code seriously? |
|
Edited on Fri Jan-09-04 06:19 PM by HypnoToad
How often do you get concerned or relieved when a color is changed?
Personally, I never care either way. See no reason to crap my pants if the level goes up or to cheer when it goes down. Threat always exists, we need to deal with it with a level head and not unbridled fear.
Besides, I wouldn't know if it was raised to "red alert" anyway. I don't watch the corporate fascist media. (freedom of speech isn't real freedom when they all parrot the same thing and anyone else is frowned upon...)

1. You need a third option... |
|
I take it seriously because I know they only raise it to hide some horrible thing they're gonna do to us while we aren't looking. It's my cue to go digging through the news to figure out exactly how I'm getting fucked this time.

Now, I was my usual drama queen self, but none of the language used in the new 3rd option is sarcasm! :D
Awesome addition you pointed out, thanks!

and you may not have meant it to be sarcasm but it's still funny as hell.
*smooches*
on edit: Even more *smooches* for spelling y'all right. I went on a little rant about that in a pet peeve thread a while back. :-)

Silly me. All this time I thought they were Gay Pride warning levels.
Since I don't have a TV, I kept imagining lil'Tommy hold press conferences, saying something like "we expect high levels of Gay Pride this week, so mothers keeps those impressionable kids off the street".

9. I'm not concerned, I'm not relieved. |
|
I'm disgusted at this transparent manipulation, "Oh, you're in danger! Watch everything carefully! Be vigilant! Only, we can't tell you anything! Just be afraid and TRUST US!" The only threat, in my little world, is this administration. Certainly not the unnamed "other".
