As you may or may not know, Chile was hit by an 8.8 magnitude earthquake at about 3:34AM local time today. Just hours ago, CNN was absolutely hysterical with the possibility of a monstrous tsunami spawned by the earthquake crashing upon the coastal beaches of Hawaii. With millions of viewers desperately awaiting the first wave, we were constantly badgered (or assured) by Rick Sanchez that the premier wave is, and most probably will be, the weakest. So, heeding our all mighty news networks, we waited. And waited. Finally, the world went face to face with the horror of the first pictures of the beast itself glaring through our television screens:

We didn’t see ANY of this! You would think with the endless “reporting” done by CNN that we could have gotten at least a bit of entertainment… *erm*, DEVASTATION! It was all FEAR and PANIC on the ground, wasn’t it CNN?
