Brilliant. How did Bush manage to turn the world around so that the asteroid hits France rather than the USA?

Re: Europe is Doomed (none / 1)

It's far from certain that the thing in the picture would hit France. Taking the rotation of the Earth into account, I'd guess that it'd hit the Atlantic... Of course, if you're being hit by a chunck of rock the size of a small continent, it doesn't really much matter where it lands...

There's also trajectory ... (none / 1)

... it looks like its already heading to the middle of the Atlantic, so including rotation of the earth, obviously heading to Washington DC.

All George W did was order a camera angle from the satellite that made it look like it was heading to France. Camera angles, that he understands. Trajectories and which direction the earth orbits, not so much.

Logic (4.00 / 4)

You're applying logic to the Europe is Doomed™ argument.

Stylistically though, if I used a picture up of east Asia and a asteroid about to hit, then many casual observers would wonder why Europe is Doomed™ when there's a picture of China there?

Re: Logic (4.00 / 2)

A picture of East Asia or North America would've jibed with the Europe. Is. Doomed^TM meme, but then it would've been too much of an inside joke.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
