Me Too, Weather Guy, Me Too. UPDATED
UPDATE – sorry the YouTube is no longer available. I’ll nose around tomorrow to see if I can find it somewhere else.
So teevee watchers in Dayton, Ohio, were throwing a fit on social media about the Fox channel showing weather stories instead of the Batchlorette.
The weather guy grabs them around the neck and slams their heads on the coffee table.

Way to go, weather guy. Way to freekin’ go.
I have never in my life seen a meteorologist hissy fit. I give this one 5 stars.
Thanks to Bryan for the heads up.
The st00pid, it burns. My roof is about to blow off … meh … back to the regularly scheduled T&A. But it doesn’t surprise. Ohio went for IQ4.5 and Kasich was elected as their governor. Donnie says he wants changes to the media. How about truth? Require all Fox affiliates to air chyrons requesting st00pid Republicons remain home on election day. Tell them it’s a way to protest government over reach. Don’t vote.
When there’s a weather alert in NV, the alert is coming. They will interrupt a ball game in the final seconds. Haven’t heard of any jackwagons or Bundy buffoons complaining. But we never had facebook and cancelled twitter.
1Go, Weather Guy! Dayton, Ohio got hammered by more than one tornado. If it hadn’t been for guys (and gals) like him, letting people know what was coming, injuries and fatalities were likely to have been much worse. As it was, one person died in a nearby town, and three were injured, as of this morning. People can be such idiots.
2Record bad weather: FAKE NEWS!!!
Because my Faux tells me so!
Now get back to what’s important, my reality show…
3I know what a tornado can do.
4Is a Bachlorette capable of as much destruction?
In my entire life I have never rooted for a weather anchor before. Now this.
It goes without saying this is deep in Trump country. They probably are blaming the tornados on Pelosi.
5Doesn’t surprise me.
6They voted for a reality show president.
They don’t care about their families, neighbors or the rest of the nation.
Reality shows rule!!!!!
We live here in Beavercreek Ohio. You should see the horrible mess in some places. On another channel the weathetgal broke down fir a second. Thank gawd we followed her every wird.
7Remember all the people that had cows when the Challenger Disaster pre-empted their soaps?
8I just looked in here today and found this post. The link doesn’t work for me tonight. I looked around and found the guy on YouTube, so maybe THIS link will work here for us tonight. I appreciate his anger at selfish cretins prioritizing the ridiculous Bachelorette nonsense over public safety when deadly tornadoes are putting so many people in harms’ way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27Qa9Pcetog
9My grandmother would have called this a “Foot Stomping Hissy Fit.” Here is a new link

10Next… hurricane season.
11After that . . . earthquake season.
12Soon : frequent EF 4s and 5s a mile wide.
The climatologists have been warning us for decades that global warming would lead to more extreme, more energetic weather events.
We didn’t listen.
13Remember when people went ballistic when the word “haboob” was used to describe, well, a haboob? They called in to the station upset that we were having a “Muslim” storm. And as pointed out already on this section, these are the kind of people who reject fact and embrace fantasy.
14… it was Juvenal who is credited with the term “panem et circensus” … Bread and Circuses. That’s such an apt description for the Trump policy. Keep them fed and entertained. Sums it up entirely.
15It takes a weatherman to tell how much FOXNews America blows.
He’s a journalist.
He could move to a journalistic broadcasting enterprise.
16If they’re watching the Bachelorette and not the storm, a selective tornado might raise the gene pool.
17Linda Phipps @ 15 – I remember a colleague being called a racist for using the term “black ice” to describe road conditions at an accident site. There have always been idiots, but with Twitter it’s too easy to hear them.
As for this weather guy….I’d like to send him a dozen roses!
18Back in 1941 a Chicago radio station was broadcasting a Bears NFL game when the station broke to the network for coverage of the Pearl Harbor attack. Their switch board was flooded with angry calls wondering why they were broadcasting all this ‘war stuff’. So nothing is really ever new; it’s just the context that changes.
19GO JAMIE! Sam in St Paul – couldn’t agree more.
20Being right in the area of the massive destruction I kept CBS, NBC local news on.
There is massive destruction all around but thanks to local stations, Tornado signs and warning apps we only had one death in another area. Many injuries.
We had 5 tornadoes, North, South and west of me.
We thought we were safe, but the water pressure dropped and we have no water. Churches, local Officials are all working together to provide water.
But other states are suffering, too. Shows what our Country really is.
