My only concern is that A&E put it in the video to add to the “ambiance”…
here it is:

Both Matthew Whitton and Rick Dyer have abandoned all subsequent interviews and CNN could not reach them for comment.

Hmmm.. did they try to reach him via AOL IM?
Rick’s email address (rdyer678@aol.com) is also an AOL IM buddy (I added this to my AOL Buddy list and it stuck)

I will be trying to contact Rick to see if he’ll give an interview (although I highly doubt they’re monitoring it)

This situation is one of the best example’s of the media’s stupidity.
Check Facts? why? it’s newsentertainment
Put them in the spotlight? sure, why not? Imagine if the other news outlets covered this, we didn’t, and it turned out to be true!
CNN covered the entire press conference, and many media outlets were there to “report” (I use the term lightly) this.

Where has unbaised, meaningful reporting gone?
Ah… it’s newentertainment!
Bride bails from the alter? Report it! Spend a week on it!
Crazy Astronaut drives cross states non-stop to track down her colleague lover? Report it! add the juicy detail she wore an adult diaper! Wow, that’s news!
Slow news day? how bout a whole week on Obama not wearing the American Flag on his lapel? That’ll teach them!
Here is a chart of what corporations own what media:

It’s sad when you can’t believe any news anymore…

What’s worse? the two moronic Georgian hicks thinking they could fool America, or the media outlets for going along with it?

While it’s easy to dismiss as a hoax, one has to wonder why these guys would profess this to the world, knowing that if a hoax they would be found out very quickly (in this day and age).
Here’s the website (sometimes down):

Only time will tell… but if this is true, the ramifications are so far reaching.
This would be the greatest cryptological find since the celocanth!

…Al Gore could not be reached for comment.

…only to be hit by a car and thrown out of his plane from the impact.

I’m imagining the man was thinking during the incident:

“OH NO! I can’t control this well.. I’m going down… hey.. there’s a highway there.. it’s pretty clear… I think I’ll land there”

“…okay… steady… steady… DOWN!… Phew.. that was clo….” (BANG!!!)

Going back to my office, I saw gray and thought, “Hmmm… are we having a tornado?”

This was the result…

There are so many hilarious moments… One that stuck out to me tonight was this:

[After the failed "Stonehenge" performance regarding the undersized prop]
Ian Faith: I think you guys are making too big a thing of this.
Derek Smalls: Making a big thing of it would have been a good idea.

The movie never gets old…

Bj’s Premium gas is $3.86/gal versus $4.01 down the street at Sunoco.

The difference in a full tank(average 14 gal tank) is: $2.10

Would you wait in line 30 minutes to save $2.10?????
