I don't even watch Univision but I happened to catch this on the tube when I went to talk to a client at his restaurant: This is a story (in Spanish news) about a
Colombian woman who witnessed the tsunami wipe out a train that she was going to take but decided not to. It should be noted that Univision was interspersing the (completely irrelevant to the immediate story at hand) graphics of a "
radioactive cloud" (that's not the actual graphics but it looked very similar to that) coming to America. Combine choppy Skype footage with ominous ingographics and people in the restaurant were seriously PANICKING; I even overheard one couple saying that they had to go confess and make their church donations before god came back to claim them. I would have said something but these Mexicans are just too ingrained in this fear to waste my breath on anymore. I just said, "We're doomed, man. I'm just gonna go pray to '
El Chapulin Colorado' for salvation and hope my soul is spared."
Basically, fear is big business in the Hispanic community and the news are just as greedy as every motherfucker on the planet to try to get their cut.
EDIT:
And, right on queue, the very next video is a detailed breakdown of how the "
radioactive cloud nears California". I think it's funny that the one expert that they have in the report says that "fallout will be minimal" on the West Coast but, OH MAN WHAT A TITLE FRONT PAGE PLEASE.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
