Really, CNN?

Has it honestly been over two months since i've written anything on here? Sorry 'bout that, busy with college and whatnot. Let me make it up to you and I know you'll love this. To kick off the new year, let's file these three stories under the "WTF??" department.

The first one has to do with birds that fell dead from the sky on New Year's Eve.

Over 1,000 lifeless birds tragically fell from the sky in Beebe, Arkansas on New Year’s Eve. In an interview with AP, an expert with the state’s Livestock and Poultry Commission suggested “the flock could have been hit by lightning or high-altitude hail.” The Commission offered another sad possibility, that New Year’s Eve fireworks could have gone off near the birds and startled them so severely, that they died from stress.

Here's where the story gets freaky: 100+ miles from Beebe, Arkansas, over 100,000 fish wash up off the Arkansas river...also dead.

An Arkansas Game and Fish Commission spokesman says dead drum fish now cover a 20-mile section of the Arkansas River near Ozark.

Seven teams from the state agency visited the affected portion of the river Friday. Commission spokesman Keith Stephens says an official estimate of how many fish have died is expected on Monday, but he tells the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette that the number is likely in the hundreds of thousands.

The commission determined the fish died in the river from a dam near Ozark to a bridge along State Highway 109 near Clarksville.

Many people believe that this is all just coincidence, and it probably is. But some have taken to Twitter and other social networking sites and see the dead fish washing ashore and the lifeless birds falling from the sky as sign of the coming End Times, or Armageddon. So, naturally, the good people at CNN needed to bring on someone who could reassure that these incidents have nothing whatsoever to do with the End Times...They brought on Kirk Cameron. No, i'm not kidding. They actually brought on Kirk Cameron.

Why Kirk Cameron, you ask? You see, Kirk turned away from drug addiction during the success of the hit TV sitcom Growing Pains and became a born-again Evangelical Christian, and recently he has been working tirelessly to disprove the theory of Evolution, so the suits at CNN thought they would get him on and either one of two tings would happen: he would call B.S. on these supposed "signs", or go completely batshit crazy, demand that Anderson Cooper repent for his sinful lifestyle as a homosexual man, and plead with his viewers to turn to the grace of the Almighty before time runs out. Kirk Cameron wasn't biting.



The fact that CNN would even bring on the star of a famous TV show the explain why these incidents occurred - as supposed to someone who works with animals - is jaw-dropingly stupid in of itself. I would half expect Fox News to pull off this kind of stunt, but not this news network.
