Two Days Before The Day After Tomorrow

Last night, Denver broke all time records by reaching -15 degrees. This morning, despite the sun’s efforts, it was still about -13 with a predicted high of 16 above zero. We’d be lucky if we reached freezing today!

When I woke up to the radio talking about the crazy weather, I was immediately reminded of the South Park episode that was a parody of The Day After Tomorrow. In the episode, South Park declares a global warming emergency after a beaver dam breaks in the neighboring town of Beaverton. When global warming is determined to be the cause of the flood, everyone focuses on who’s to blame. It’s a spectacular episode because it contains a scene where a man is chased down and killed by global warming!

It also features a fantastic parody of the sequence in the film when Dennis Quaid and company are treking through the snow from Philadelphia to Manhattan to go rescue some kids from the library. In the SP version, the dads are dressed in full arctic gear and climbing through the sunny streets of the town. I can hardly do it justice, so check out the episode to see why the scene is so rad.

Either way, this crazy ass weather makes me want to run down the streets shouting, “We didn’t listen!!!”
