Hopefully, I can lend some insight into the concept of irony or satire. The idea of The Canadian Women’s Hockey team’s behavior being responsible for earthquakes and tsunamis is a comment on the banality of observations such as “Global Warming” or the moral behavior of local populace who are affected causing such disasters . Or similarly framed questions such as the ditz on CNN who asked a seismologist if “recent developments” were responsible for these earthquakes. (Or in a related, hopelessly moronic assertion by Obama that “we can change nature”)
Blaming contemporaneous events(such as the women’s hockey celebration) and similarly short sighted explanations for several billions year old processes involving plate tectonics and the earths crust is what is preposterous and worthy of a sardonically humorous stab.
I regret this attempt at was lost on many including the aggressively offended .
BTW, here’s a thread on the Hawaii Tsunami at Ace of Spades headquarters that ought to give some folks here the vapors:
