I've got my "everything ready" as instructed. Cough cough hork.

This man is a cartoon.

God help the telephone poles.

Either he's a terrible, talentless, offensive comedian or functionally retarded.

Or possibly his mom and dad related to each other by much more than marriage.

LOL @3. That was the first thing I noticed too. Not only is this guy a frightening bafoon, but he has a telephone pole sticking out of his head. Classic!!!

I'm totally prepared for the 250 to 1000 foot drop as my car plunges way way below sea level in the Billionaires Tunnel ...

um

not.

Remember, only you can save telephone poles from earthquakes and pit bulls.

Nature (thank God) bats last.

hahaaha. what is this? LOL

I find this endearing. I'm pretty sure this person is mildly mentally impaired, and he's just playing news anchor. It's just a shame that he's ended up in the ocean of snark that is the Internets (not that I'm not a contributor). But in this case, he gets a pass from me.

Mr. Poe made a baby.

That's Frankie McDonald!!!! REPORTER for CNN!
Remember his Olympics report?

It bugs me when people who know better fail to protect those who don't.

There's no snark coming from me: He's actually really sweet and cute. Reminds me of a kid I used to sit when I was a teenager. He was confident and extroverted like this kid is.

HAHAHAHA

I loved the "It may affect Montana, Idaho and everything."

HAHAHAHA

Bless his little heart.....

Did he leave out when the earthquake was supposed to happen? If so, he's right about everything, telephone poles included.

He said September 2010!

One quick point - back in "ancient times", it was usually the village savant who produced the prophecies, and were accurate. Just sayin'...

Dan, I have enjoyed your blog, column, and videos, but I do not know how to take this posting. "You can either laugh at this guy..." ? My brother is developmentally disabled with autistic spectrum disorder. Unless the young man in the earthquake warning video is acting I am pretty sure that he has some similar issues. I am saddened and disappointed that you have put so little thought into linking such a video and captioning it in this manner. I have looked at this young man's other postings and websites and more likely than not he wanted to participate in the on-line video culture like "normal" people and has not anticipated the cruelty and ridicule this will generate. I know that 'haters" are part of that culture but in working and living with the developmentally disabled I can tell you they often neither understand nor expect such cruelty as appears in the you tube comments. Though there are haters, we do not have to assist or contribute to them in such a situation. The flippant captioning to this video is not well thought out. My brother is 50 years old and through experience has come to expect the worst from people. I had hoped for better from a columnist I have come to respect over the past several years. Perhaps I am a politically correct humourless ass and I have personalized this too much. However, I cannot tell you the anguish I feel when someone calls my brother a retard and I see the impotent rage in his face. The nasty kinds of things said on the you tube page were the kind of things, pre-internet, said to my brother's face. I take some comfort in that the young man seems to be enjoying his postings, but I question whether your posting, in a popular and widely viewed blog will add to his joy or whether or not you took the time to even care.

I am from California and out here there are radio stations broadcasting his reports and he has a big fan base out here. Out here we absolutely love this guy. Lets not call out the obvious. Frankie has endeared our hearts to him. Lets show him the love that he deserves.

Peace and out.
