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

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.

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

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.
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 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.

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 ).

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...
