  • NMRgentleman, on 07/04/2009, -2/+186As others have said, it was probably a bad idea in the first place. The level is currently yellow. It's unlikely we'll ever let it drop below that level, because that would be like announcing that we're letting our guard down. On the other hand we don't want people to start panicking, so we'll also rarely ever raise the alert level. So yellow we shall stay. And an alert scale that always says the same thing says precisely nothing.
  • Ghostwo, on 07/04/2009, -13/+136Funny cause its true...
  • Dekatria, on 07/04/2009, -9/+106Well at least we're wise to it now...well at least some of us are.
  • AquaOSX, on 07/05/2009, -3/+93Fake terror charts are so 2002.
  • inactive, on 07/04/2009, -11/+98Dugg for Green being "Maintain paranoia through patriotic calls for vigilance".
    Cheney just got that tattoed across his chest in Strugis for the 4th.
  • TexMexRex, on 07/05/2009, -4/+65That graphic is funnier ever year it comes out.
  • CaptainPanda, on 07/05/2009, -1/+59Why do we have terror levels, anyways? It doesn't help fight terrorism at all and seems to only be useful for scaring people.

    (I suppose scaring people is the reason we have terror levels.)
  • inactive, on 07/04/2009, -2/+42you say that like it wasn't clearly ***** from the beginning
  • bigredmer, on 07/05/2009, -7/+45Everyone knows that Bush is no longer President, right?
  • firebhaal, on 07/05/2009, -1/+36Scary because it's true...
  • moliver21, on 07/05/2009, -9/+42Hrm... this submission seems a bit "too little, too late'ish".
  • Presbyterian, on 07/05/2009, -12/+38You do know "hope" and "change" was campaign rhetoric, right?.
  • Super6, on 07/05/2009, -12/+37Isn't this joke a little played out?
  • fuzzybeard, on 07/05/2009, -1/+25Yellow is also synonymous with cowardice.

    /not hatin', just sayin'
  • browwiw, on 07/05/2009, -6/+29This is so 8 months ago.
  • Donotsurf, on 07/05/2009, -2/+23What's it like 8 months ago? Tell me grandpa!
  • rabidjester, on 07/05/2009, -5/+26This one is what... 6 years old?
  • mofro99, on 07/05/2009, -1/+21yea, thanks america, for supporting and arming the Taliban along with Osama to fight the russians, Good job.
  • jeexbit, on 07/05/2009, -4/+24Looks more like the OLD Homeland Security Color Chart, but whatever....
  • KayinAngel, on 07/05/2009, -1/+20it's great. the president is leading and winning the war on terror and we hit the bottom of the recession and its all uphill from here.
  • browwiw, on 07/05/2009, -3/+19Get off my lawn!
  • rocknog, on 07/05/2009, -1/+17Does it matter whether America has had threats or not? Either way, a ***** color-coded chart is going to do jack ***** in terms of keeping you safe.
  • Donotsurf, on 07/05/2009, -1/+15What does it mean to play us out?
  • DouglasQ, on 07/05/2009, -2/+16I wonder when the government are gonna stop pressuring us to live in fear of terrorists all the time.
    There's gonna be an announcement on the PA system in an airport somewhere saying "Ladies and gentlemen; ...I think they've gone."
  • Engival, on 07/05/2009, -4/+17Joke?
  • KnightMareInc, on 07/05/2009, -2/+13whats 2002 like by the way?
  • spartan777, on 07/05/2009, -0/+9The "War On Terror" is the new Cold War.

    The only purpose of both were to scare everyone and keep them in line. As long as that keeps up, nobody realizes how much they're getting scammed by the rich. Nobody asks for better living conditions or better wages, we're at war after all!
  • purplesawdust, on 07/05/2009, -0/+9Robot Chicken
  • DirtyVicar, on 07/05/2009, -2/+10Anyone remember the "Beware of Suspicious People Carrying World Almanacs" hysteria? Jesus Christ, when all that started up that's when I knew that everything had truly gone off the deep end.

    Interestingly on this alert scale it's a solid yellow. Bravo.
  • JaseFace, on 07/05/2009, -0/+8Uh...Colombia is actually our ally. But ok.
  • purplesawdust, on 07/04/2009, -6/+14I thought they replaced it with rubber ducks?
  • Keggluneq, on 07/05/2009, -1/+9Has the bogus "threat level" ever been below yellow?
  • caseycoold, on 07/05/2009, -1/+9haha, and people like you are why we HAVE these enimies!
  • bigredmer, on 07/05/2009, -4/+12Yes, I certainly do
  • zerohourtech, on 07/05/2009, -0/+7Agreed, I have the homeland security ff add-on and I've never seen it outside of yellow.

    I laugh every time I open my browser :o)
  • Pssdoff, on 07/05/2009, -1/+8Did Bush ever really leave? What has Obama done that Bush or McCain wouldn't have done? The answer is 'not one damn thing.' The US only elected a PR man for those that really decide policy. Any change that you think has come to America is specious at best.
  • Mikey129, on 07/05/2009, -0/+7No
  • ldkronos, on 07/05/2009, -0/+7No. Here is the history of the threat level:

  • wachris, on 07/05/2009, -0/+7Security theater
  • hivoltage815, on 07/05/2009, -0/+6Those were good times, what happened?
  • sarixe, on 07/05/2009, -0/+6Well at least
  • StarlessKnight, on 07/05/2009, -0/+6@Arpad: Yeah, so useful for time travelers thinking about going back to September 11th, 2001 in New York City, specifically the downtown region. Thank you government for protecting time travelers.
  • fl3sh, on 07/05/2009, -1/+7Sad because it's true?
  • hmunkey, on 07/04/2009, -21/+27The actual chart is a load of crap anyways. If there ever was a credible WMD threat or impending major attack on the US, the government wouldn't notify us - it would only cause a massive hysteria and diminish their capabilities.

    Even if we were their first though and they truly cared about us they wouldn't tell us because if they did, looting and riots would ensue and more people would die.
  • inactive, on 07/05/2009, -0/+6Wanna buy a tiger-repellent rock?
  • inactive, on 07/05/2009, -0/+5"spread radioactive materials across a city, or use chemical or biological weapons on civilians. "

    Fear mongering works wonders doesn't it. . . ..

    As does name calling, the only little ***** I can see in reference to this article is what arpad calls a brain.

    Grow a pair
  • twiztidsinz, on 07/05/2009, -4/+9My blind grandmother could do a better job Photoshopping that...
  • GeyserShitdick, on 07/05/2009, -2/+7More like 8 years.
  • duckferret, on 07/05/2009, -7/+12Wow, this joke is about 8 years late.
  • howea, on 07/05/2009, -0/+5About the same amount of time walking around Jersey with cocaine and a rag headscarf.
