The dark soul of humanity and Blizzard are coming for CCP and all Icelandic inhabitants, run now, run to the sea before it's too late!

Oh that....an unresolved petition cloud that's become airborne, weaponized and set upon the CCP offices.
Or it's an ash infested rain cloud...
probably just a rain cloud.

If you're under the cloud tonight, you may want to watch the sunset.
It should be a pretty good one with the ash scattering the sunlight more than usual.

Also,
Quote:
Hjordis Gudmondsdottir, a spokesperson for Isavia, Iceland's air traffic authority, said: "The ash is going out to the ocean and to Europe so our airports aren't really affected. It's almost funny, except it isn't, obviously.

Some jokes coming from Icelandic people on Facebook
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Europe!
Apologies for the air traffic jam.
We are aiming for London,
but it's hard to be accurate when you are launching from a volcano.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Britain:" WTF Iceland?!? Why did you send us volcanic ash ? Our airspace has shut down".
Iceland: "What ? It's what you asked for isn't it ?"
Britain: "NO! Cash! Cash you dyslexic ****. CASH! not ASH."
Iceland: "woooops..."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the British and Dutch Governments:
There is no C in the Icelandic alphabet,
so when you ask for Cash, all you get is Ash..

Yeah, FOX is awesome 
Made me cringe a lot :p
Is that honestly a real news channel or is it a spoof?
Alas, somebody forgot to tell half of America that it is indeed, a sick parody of a bi-partisan news channel. Thus, it is treated as news over here :(
FOXNEWS is kind of like Colbert Report, but without the funny.

TO be completely honest, it would be hilarious, except that a good portion of the idiots in this country who vote no less actually watch the piece of crap news channel that it is and think it's a good, useful source of information.
My favorite show on FOX, the No Spin Zone, with Bill O' Lielly. Read Al Franken's Book, LIES. And The Lying Liars Who Tell Them. Great book, very funny, while also horrifyingly depressing...

This thread is to talk about the volcano and related stuff. If you wish to have intelligent, constructive conversations about fox news (which only 5 out of 12 posts so far are actually doing) please create a new thread and do it there. Thank you.

Speaking of Fox News ...
1) Fox is owned by Rupert Murdock who founded his news empire on tabloids.
2) Fox News originally was nothing but a tabloid - but - because all the other media since Turner sold CNN are decidedly liberal in their slant - there was a market in the US for any news that wasn't from a Liberal POV. Thus - Fox taking up the Conservative News Banner. If there were a more responsible news source for conservatives - then they'd probably be watching that - but since the only thing they had before Fox was Rush ... Fox is actually a step up. They have hired some people who were working for other networks in the past to at least seem to give more substance to their work - however little there may actually be.
3) The liberals - especially MSNBC - are really pretty bad too. All of the regular media include commentary - unlabeled as such - as part of their stories.
4) This is nothing new. News Papers have ALWAYS been this way.
5) We have Richard Nixon to thank though for the current state of affairs. Up until Watergate - the only reason the networks broadcast the news at all - was because the FCC made them do it as part of their license. So - since they figured they'd never make any money off of the news anyway - you had them treating their news broadcasts as prestige sources. Then - when Watergate was on - they realized that people would watch the news if they sensationalize it enough - and that was the end of prestige journalism. After that - they wanted to make money off their news staffs.
As to erupting Volcano's ... well ... I for one would be happy to have this little ash problem sort itself out before it reaches me ... those air currents flow all the way around the planet though ... and then keep on going around it again ... so we'll just have to see how this effects the rest of us.

It saddens me when people not only vastly mispronounce something, but dismiss it as unpronounceable and move on.
You don't have to be familiar with Icelandic to deduce that Eyjafjallaj÷kull probably doesn't contain 'yagogokle.'
Just as strange as stumbling over the name Ahmadinejad. I don't understand what's so alien about it. Maybe I'm just a linguaphile....
