CNN Apocalypse Video Leaked... Ted Turner Prepared Network for Doomsday

He might well have known something we didn't. He certainly has the connections and the money.

I'm really pissed though that this is the best he could do imagining an ELE and people were tuning in in their final hours/minutes.

No comforting words, no "we will rise again", no "try this and this while hoping and praying". Nothing. We get a crappy film that should have been updated to hi def years ago playing musical instruments as if they are somehow ushering in whatever cataclysm was about to befall us. The name of the tune is irrelevant lol.

After all the money that people have given him for his services, he couldn't put forth a bit more effort?

Shame on you Turner. Shame on you.

On another note... One does have to wonder if they have updated it and nobody has found/seen it yet.

To be fair, it's not exactly like anyone would be around to criticize him the next day.

Death by dehydration? lmao.

Ted Turner is known for being eccentric - he even hosts an annual event for a cartoon character he helped to create, named Captain Planet. Actually the event is a fundraiser for programs to save the environment and to raise awareness.

Maybe he thought we would eventually kill ourselves by what we are doing to the planet, so he wanted to have the appropriate farewell ready.

for some reason as i was reading your reply it made me think of a really bad movie i saw many years ago named "sam hell comes to frogtown"....really really bad movie... it had an apocalyptic theme to it...it was set after a nuclear war i think and the male species was all but decimated and women ruled supreme,it was based on the only fertile male left on the planet and all the women chasing him down

Um that classic is "Hell Comes to Frogtown" and Sam Hell is played by Wrestling Legend Roddy Roddy Piper. It's a awesome movie. You just need to have a few brewski's while you watch it.

If I know we've got a 50/50 shot at heads or tails and it happens to turn up heads - that doesn't imply that there wasn't a fifty percent chance that it could have been tails.

Although now I am sure somebody will source the study that coins tend to land heads up more often than tails for reasons that science has yet to Heisenberg out...

Point is - maybe Ted knew there was a coin toss happening and prepared for the worst. Ironically by creating the worst possible tribute video to mankind ever. Makes me want to recall all those deep space probes back. At least they have some logical information attached to them. Imagine future archeologists and sociologists trying to make sense of the mess presented in this video.

Due to the shape of a coin, can the weight be evenly distributed causing a pure 50/50 chance during the flip? I think not.

If anyone enjoys doomporn it would be Ted.
He doesn't go for regular kink, S&M or group romps, no sir.
Ted loves a good mass snuff flick.
Humans gone - problem solved.
Go back to sleep Ted, the world is safer that way.
I wonder if Ted's nightmare would be Hugh Downs saying:
"good night and have a pleasant tomorrow"?

"Nearer My God to Thee?"

Confirmed, there are no atheists in foxholes.

Maybe he knew about the Ronny Raygun plan to destroy the Russian economy...It worked didn't it! Except of course the American taxpayer never got the trillions back yet, but some fecker/s have it somewhere.

Now for those old enough to remember a world before cable, back when we only had five or six stations total, we might recall that the networks actually did sign off each night and went to static. When this happened the last thing that they'd play, each night, was the Star Spangled Banner ( Cold War propaganda IMO ).

Is this what you have in mind?


and if so, have you ever heard about the subliminal messages hidden within the caption, noticeable when slowed down? When the text transition, you can briefly see things like "God is Real, god is watching" then "Trust the US government". Very creepy stuff...

I remember all the talk about the subliminals way back, mostly because they didn't work!
I bet that pissed off a lot of 'Boffins' who thought they were gonna eat cake for the rest of their lives.

Bah!

What junk!

If this is what I get at the last day of the apocalypse i'd be pissed... Live streaming of all events until the end, or die! I want Kaiju in Seattle, Asteroid landing in Zaire, Zombies.... every bit of it on live feed, I tune into a damn band playing I might use my last hrs to go find the exec in charge and kick his ass slowly lol...

Can't actually see any excuse to not be live all over the world... even if the Aliens being led by Bael take down all the satellites you could still do cool stuff like get the red bull skydiver guy to ride them in from orbit as they crash and stuff, set up a gopro places where the insects are swarming...

someone needs to put me in charge of this whole thing... just sayin

If Shep Smith is not there broadcasting live at the Ground Zero of Armageddon making his trademark snarky sayings ... I'll be so disappointed in death.

Did they steal the story from Y: The Last Man?

Nevermind, it was the other way around. 2002 for the Vertigo Comic and 1988 for the movie.

When they played the National Anthem I know I was up too late. It was a warning bell to get to sleep. It usually hit at 2 AM and that's late for kid.

Here's the video I would like to see at the end of the world.



Just kidding

Oh the hubris to takes in think that when "doomsday" is confirmed people will be watching CNN.
