That'll be the day

Oh this is rich.
This weekend, millions of Americans will go see The Day After Tomorrow -- the movie the White House doesn't want you to see.

You will note, of course, the COMPLETE AND UTTER LACK OF SUPPORTING INFORMATION FOR THIS CLAIM. The movie the White House doesn't want you to see. Since when? Since it makes for a good slogan, that's when.

At least they admit that it is an exaggerated story. Of course, then they state, "...but it will leave people wondering, 'Could this really happen?'" I'm certainly not wondering. I know the answer is a resounding "NO!" I leave the minimal effort at locating the information that thoroughly debunks this movie as an exercise for the reader. Nevertheless, some people will be taken in by this, and these are the people MoveOn and the Democrats in general are targeting. Kinda makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Fark summed it up perfectly: "Moveon.org endorses The Day After Tomorrow as the movie the White House doesn't want you to see. Tin-foil hats selling like waffles."
