Crayola To Revamp Homeland Security Advisory System »
Posted by: ind06 1 year, 2 months agoWASHINGTON (CAP) - The Department of Homeland Security has announced a joint effort with Crayola Inc. to revamp the current color-coded U.S. threat advisory system to create "a national framework and a disguisable vocabulary" so that terrorists will be less likely to ascertain the true threat level in the U.S.

Not that I want the US to hit this level of terror but how does this sound: We're at Cotton Candy. We're F*****"
I mean it's better than "We're F*****! We're at Strawberry."
I personally like the "Concern. We're at aquamarine" Has a nice flow and rhythm to it.
I haven't checked lately so I don't know if we're (where I live.) at level "Sunshine Beware" or still "Oh S$$$ we're at Beware."

Something just doesn't quite strike fear into my heart at hearing a Periwinkle blue alert.

My Uncle used to make candles,
from crayons that were especially soft,
he said they would come in handy,
in case his business ever fell off.

And if there's a serial killer loose, will we have Madman Magenta? Why do the colors have to be just for terrorist threats anyway? How about Tornado Tangerine? Hurricane Blue? Earthquake Umber? Forever Umber?
I think Crayola should get busy with colors for all sorts of disasters. How about droughts? Perhaps Sandy Cinnamon for that one. And Volcanic Violet?
I think we need more imagination in our color selections. Perhaps we could get some of those color namers from the Max Factor people. How many ways can they say "red?"

Damn; I was going for Ali Akbar Mohammad Mauve. Now I'll have to settle for Taliban Teal. How about Cobalt Blue for when Iran launches their first nuke? Or has that been reserved for when VP Cheney finally melts down.
How about Candy Apple Red for when the really big 'dirty bomb IED' is planted along the DC Beltway during rush hour

Neophile, my family has served this country for over two hundred and fifty years. Several are buried in Normandy and Arlington. We were taught manners and always have treated our neighbors with respect. I have many Canadian friends and business associates and we always treat one another with respect. I find you as a Canadian and a person of authority at Netscape offensive in your constant belittlement of my country. I have always treated you with respect and hope that you will abide in kind.

My family has too, I even grew up on an Army base, yet i dont find it offensive. People always complain about non Citizens talking about US policy like they have no right. But the truth of the matter is, when a single country(USA) has so much international power, it becomes everyones right to discuss, debate or mock a nation that affects thier own nation with so much influence.
We would be doing the same exact thing if the tables were reversed. and it was Canada or China, or Russia running the international scene.

I'm certain that informed dissent from people, whether they are American or not, is acceptable in a forum like Netscape, where people from all over the world participate in, I hope, good faith.
My real concern with your statement is that you equate criticism of the President with criticism of the country, and that smacks of the cult of personality to me.

Obviously I need to stock up on more Duct Tape. How else can I feel safe? I don't even know what burnt umber looks like. But I'm deathly afraid of the fact it has to be burnt before use. So terrifying. Vote for Republicans. We have everything to fear including the colors of various crayons.
