I don't see the connection between Al Gore's current environmentalist publicity campaign, and South Park's "Manbearpig".

I think that global climate change of some kind is more likely to exist than a cryptozoological legend.  I also suspect that Gore's efforts will not result in anything as drastic as children being trapped in a mine.  The metaphor just doesn't click for me.

But that "serial" thing was pretty funny.

Al Gore can make a funny cartoon too. see?

BTW, if the only common theme between South Park's Al Gore and the real/Futurama Al Gore, is the unnecessary hyping of a threat that we're meant to think doesn't exist...

What about THE ENTIRE MAINSTREAM NEWS MEDIA?

I can't wait for "Snakes on a Plane" to come out, because I know for certain that both local and national television news will run "Could it really happen" stories.  One might go as far as to do just enough investigation to be able to report the TSA being woefully unprepared for snakes on a plane.  And I'll walk into the lunchroom and someone will be all, "I don't fly anymore, there might be snakes."

Nobody in the lunchroom is worried about global warming.  They're worried about pork because there were two cases of trichinosis in Alabama two months ago.  And people admit openly to being afraid to fly because of terrorists.  Bah.

If that's not a good enough example, then what about THE ENTIRE ALTERNATIVE NEWS MEDIA?

OK; I ordered that "Support the Municipality" shirt you've been selling out for a month.  Now make some more damn sbemails!
