The Weather Channel: It's so white, I can't watch it anymore, AND other complaints!

OMG… could this channel be any whiter in the Caucasian sense?

Could they contradict themselves any more than they already have? Give advice as you are ignoring it: Genius! (Good for ratings – I know).

Could they even pretend to be glad that storms weaken? I mean, I know they want the biggest Cat 5, but even if they could just pretend that they are happy my beach town won’t be wiped out, I’d settle for that.

How about that storm track? Yeah, act like you are relieved (somewhat) – again, just act happy – that it is moving off the coast a little (ya know, like all the coastal 'canes ever tracked).

I’ve got porn on my PC, but The White Channel (TWC) fantasizes about a Cat 5 taking out the entire NE Corridor. The tone of their last few hour is almost like they are responding to angry people who’ve had it with them (and I’ve monitored their behavior carefully out of boredom. They are taking in emails from people who are annoyed with them, and their programming and attitude is starting to reflect that they are getting a little irate in response.

And they have been saying, “This could still…” over 20 times per hour recently, a sign they feel the storm isn’t going to get them to blow a load any time soon.

:slight_smile: Just some insight from coastal NE USA. :slight_smile:

I’m going to assume that the OP is drunk. As hard as I tried, I cannot for the life of me figure out what this “white” deal is.

Bringing the issue of race into things that it has nothing to do with is a slimy, obnoxious thing to do, no matter what race you’re talking about or what race you are. Philster, WTF?

Next up, the Jamacian snowcast with “No Worries Maaan” Leroy Brown…

Some of the most high profile broadcasters on TWC are black - Al Roker, Paul Goodloe, Vivian Brown. There are several more black on-camera faces as well.

And if the OP isn’t seeing any now, it’s probably because they’re too smart to go out in the hurricane.

Like [Eddie Murphy?](http://www. - YouTube)

ETA: broke the link because of NSFW language.

And then I thought of Family Guy’s “BlaccuWeather” report Ollie Williams report from hurricane RuPaul (That is making his or her way up the east coast :slight_smile: ):

Why is the OP watching the weather channel for black faces? Is he getting tired of his porn?

Anyone who spends that much time on The Weather Channel has too much time on his hands. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some paint to watch dry.

I am more peeved because we had a prediction as of 2 weeks ago of a rainy weekend, and today it had a light drizzle with no wind and everybody is claiming it is the beginning of the damned hurricane. People have short memories … all it is today is the original drizzle that was previously predicted. The TROPICAL STORM is not expected to hit CT until well after midnight.

Hey, over the years the Weather Channel has had some definite babes.

Some of you need to lighten up; others get it.

Come on… where are the people of color on TWC?! Are they resting until NYC gets the fury? I’m serious! Dried up raisin Al Roker, won’t you come out and reassure me that even black people are in danger? Are you holed up somewhere near NYC?

Couple o’ babes on TWC today. Kinda takes the sting off of that wind gust that just nailed me when I ran outside to tend to the boat cover.

On the air as the main guy in the studio, even as I type.

You only say that because you live in a place with no weather. I’ve heard the forecasts in the Bay Area.
78 78 78 79
Ooh, a warming trend!

If you ever were in the middle of a 30 inch snowstorm, you’d watch it too.

Bizarrely, here I am opening this thread while a black woman standing in the middle of high winds describes damage in some borough of NYC. Perhaps they read the OP and responded quickly!

Just wait until the snow starts. Talk about white.

IMO the WC went downhill fast after they gave all the prime time to that Stefanie Abrams and her windtunnel of a mouth.

Remember when Jen Carfagno had that cute little freckle on the very tip of her nose? Guess they made her get rid of it, but she gets more airtime now.

Ah, I see I’m not the only one who can’t stand that woman–her banter is annoying and makes me cringe.

OTOH Vivian is a pleasure to listen to

I hope Adam Berg didn’t forge his parent’s signature on his permission slip when they sent him to New Jersey to cover the storm.
