It's not really mature or sensitive to make light of peoples' plight during a disaster. But since when have I ever been either.

It's like New Orleans of 5 years ago. Only this time the victims are all white.

The interview and accompanying images between timestamps 1:40 and 2:15 are just...well, you'll see...so worth it!

Thank God, at least, they all rescued their cigarettes!

Now someone needs to hose down those filthy elderly people.
