Freaking Unbelievable my cable has had THREE EMERGENCY BROADCAST SIGNALS SINCE THE VERDICT

[MagickMuffin]

Usually they don't run these alerts until the wee morning hours.

It kinda reminds me of the attack on America after 9-11 my cable company started playing german music on one of the music channels I use to listen to through my extended cable service. Now that REALLY freaked me out.

Today's emergency alerts is just plain weird.:shrug:

1. Who's your cable provider?

[MagickMuffin]

3. Charter

[meegbear]

4. Never heard of them ...

Comcast here

[WillyT]

2. You Don't Live In Tornado Alley, Do Ya ???

Are these tests?

:shrug:

[MagickMuffin]

6. I do

but our weather is sunny at the present time, with no rain in the forecast.:shrug:

And yes they are tests. But like I said usually they do these early in the mornings.

5. First Tuesday of the Month

[MagickMuffin]

9. They are always sporadic behavior when they do this

Usually once a week @ 3:30ish AM. I'm usually wake @ that hour and this always pissed me off that they run these tests once a week. Even if I was watching something I recorded on the DVR it would interrupt whatever I was watching.

STRANGE

Tomorrow is our community's weather alert warning. Now those things always freak me out. Especially if you're sleeping and forget about it being the first Wednesday of the month...:yoiks:

[whistle]

7. Wait for the Red Menace images to start appearing on the TV screen

....blood dripping down over the New York skyline, slavic mongrel hordes raping and pillaging the heartland of America, pictures of Chairman Mao hanging on our public school walls, etc.

Wait, that has been going on in America for over 60 years already. :hide: :yoiks:

10. Oh Dear, I think I can Wait ;=P

but I guess they're gearing up for something:shrug:

[whistle]

15. I meant it only as sarcastic dark humor

:sarcasm:

Still, these neo-conservative fascists in the White House probably would try anything to maintain power and establish exactly who rules!

8. Sounds like someone didn't like the verdict in your area***

:party:

[MagickMuffin]

11. Yep, that's what I'm thinking

It seemed to happen when Friz was talking, then when the juror spoke, and I've forgotten now the other person they interrupted.

Will try to find the press conferences on c-span later...

12. I lost my cable about 5 minutes before the verdict

also since the cable and PC are on the same line - no Du either. It kept coming and going for about a half hour.

[MagickMuffin]

14. Are you Red State or Blue State?!?!?!?

Unfortunately Red State here, although we are trying hard to change that color to purple or blue.

Luckily we have the internets to help with not missing ALL the important news that otherwise doesn't get reported or some other anomaly jumps in.

13. uh oh!...
