You know what I hate? Well, I won't spoil it right away, just read on and you'll get it..
I'm sitting here as always at my desk, and I hear, on what sounds like a town-wide loud speaker system, the national alert blare, you know, the kind that plays over a news network or something to announce a dangerous storm or event.
Then, through the same speaker, I hear "Attention, this is not a test, the government [something I couldn't hear clearly], may god be with you all.", shortly after, it starts blaring what sounds like the kind of alarm you'd hear during either a air raid or bombing, blaring about 2 or 3 times before going quiet.
.. Now, I don't know where you live, but just understand, if you're a regular semi-typical american, and you hear something like that, on an outdoor town-wide loud speaker system, that usually means something REALLY fucking bad is about to go down, or has already gone down, and general protocal is to either hide in a bunker, evacuate, or give your ass a heartfelt kiss goodbye.
So now my blood is chilled, and I'm wondering what the hell is about to happen. A thousand scenarios enter my head.. Are we about to get nuked? Is a team of marines gonna kick down my door and "secure the area", should I be preparing to evacuate?
Well, the longest five seconds pass with complete silence from the outside world..
And then fucking loud blaring rave-style pep rally music starts playing, and I hear a cheering crowd... "Oh right, there was a fucking football game today at the stadium...".. I can only imagine how many much-older people just shat their pants when they heard that alert, though, perhaps even ones far away enough to hear the alert, but not the music afterwards, and are now huddled in their bathrooms clutching a rifle in one hand and a rosary in the other..
Having fake-yet-serious alarms as intros to new-age music is slightly fun, sure, in a meme-ish kind of way, but when you're hearing something like that over a FUCKING STADIUM SPEAKER, it doesn't sound fake at all.. There should be a law against playing anything that resembles a government-official alarm over outdoor speakers, contained in music.
I mean think about it, it's like the boy who cried wolf.. We put up with this shit one too many times, the next time it happens for real, and everyone's just standing around like sheep waiting for the bass to drop, and BOOM... 300+ dead civilians.. I mean maybe I'm just being paranoid, but come on, a line has to be drawn somewhere..
