Apparantly hurricane names are too "Caucasian"

Why limit it to "African-American" names? Why not:

Hurricane Chang
Herricane Federov
Hurricane Montoya Gonsalvez De La Hoya Gutierrez?

In the article it said that the complaint is because French and hispanic names were added recently to reflect the types of people who live on the gulf coast (and presumably in the Caribbean as well). There are a lot of black people living on the gulf coast as well, and that's why she complained.
 
If I hear my local weather girl talk about Hurricane Tu Long Dong gathering momentum, I may actually watch the news.

Why not just call them what they are...ghetto names?

theres a guy who calls himself q-tip? i thought p diddy was a lame fuck of a name. but q-tip?

...except Q-Tip is freaking awesome. I'm not a big fan of rap/Hip-Hop, but even I recognize the badass-ness that is Q-Tip.

Don't hate what you don't know 😉

Better than Tampon!

<MftS> Who the fuck is the one naming hurricanes?
<MftS> They somehow manage to give them the least threatening names ever.
<MftS> If I turned on the news and heard that Hurricane Erin was coming I'd think to myself, "Erin? I could take that slut."
<MftS> If I turned on the news and heard that Hurricane Dicksmasher was approaching, I'd grab all the money in the house, shove it in my pockets, and get the fuck out of there.

That made me so friggin LOL!

Anyway, I want to become a congressman and put forth a bill that complains that African-American's need more traditional American sounding names. :disgust:

I think you mean, "Hurricane Tu Long Dong is...
"...blowing hard into the coast."
"...shooting a load of water far inland."
"...enlarging considerably."
"...expected to drop balls of hail later tonight."
