[elem45]

The original sound scares the crap out of me, they test mine on my radio at random times at night and i would just be studying in my room and that sound goes off and i start screaming and then i hide under my blankets, lol..

[elem45]

Haha! I love it!

[BigClubPenguinFan300]

in the airrr aiirrr

[turbozonda]

wow how did that happen

[ChaosLord121]

Had a similar thing happen a few years ago. I was watching some music video and the EAS kept flashing on and off, so I guess they were having problems with it because no alert tones were coming up, just music.

[teeman9266]

...

What the hell?!

[tanndox]

best alert ever!!!

[lightningbolt99999]

EAS - Ebony Alert System.

[frednora]

This is seriously retarded.

[BigClubPenguinFan300]

in the air air air air i know that song and i like the song

[FLaMeFuLEniGMa]

I remember the last time I saw this screen, it was about 4 years ago, and we had nasty weather that day, the monthly test went off at like 7:30 AM and then got interupted by a severe thunderstorm warning, and the EAS Severe Thunderstorm got interupted by a Tornado Warning. Lol.

[raymaster56]

see ill be having a nice dream and then next thing u kno i wake up to hear

SJDGHFOJASDJHFASUYDFJAHLSDF

and it scares the fuck out of me

[Tallyock]

OBAMA!!!!

[tmastersat]

I own that same equipment. Here is why its doing that. They are monitoring that radio channel for alearts and they have it connected to one of the input ports on the EAS. You are hearing one of the channels the EAS monitors.

But I have never seen it do this I suspect they have the audio connected direct to the channel modulator and not running through the EAS. Or the EAS relays may have gone bad. You might notify them of this its failing its test and is a FCC violation.

[slowshow111]

this is a test of the emergency rappin alert system. follow these fuck-ass retarded dance moves to perpare yourself in event of an ass whipping emergency.

[mjtheman23]

this is a test of the emergency ass shaking system. if this had been an actual emergency, you would have been instructed to throw your hands in the ayer!

[BillxMach]

just because it plays rap music does not make a cable company ghetto. that's just racist!

[ilikstikz7804]

lmao the gay losers assoctiation have bought the EAS system and will now play annoying gay music during an emergency!a tornado is above your-*interruppted by tornado destroying house*

[Obstkuchen14]

It'd be more epic if it was like this:

"We interrupt our programming. This is a national emergency. Important instructions will follow. I'M ON A BOAT, MOTHERFUCKER, DONT YOU EVER FORGET"

[kanechoke644]

@Obstkuchen14 Haha I like that!

[singinglawnchair]

@Obstkuchen14 "Citizens are advised to get their swim trunks and their flippy-floppies."

[Gizmomaster7]

WIN! Just WIN!

[Mari443Garrett]

[rainbowwithrain]

[troshs]

@rainbowwithrain lol then instead of running for cover they will get up and start shaking their asses...and get blown away. LMAO

[rainbowwithrain]

@troshs HAHA that would be funny!

[ohgoodlord]

Yo that TV is whack.

[coolcatevan9]

ROFL!

[WeatherSTARIII]

We used to have this same exact EAS screen in our area too back durring the TCI, AT&T Cable, and Insight Communications days from 1998-2006. Comcast is now in our area and uses a different EAS screen.

[Clayranger89]

What In the Name Of Penises Everywhere?

[theweatherchazz]

lol.  great line.

[JDAISBACK]

WTF?

[DYNAMITE33194]

CableOne did their EAS test like this from 2001-2004

[mjtheman23]

What song is this? I am really diggin that beat.

[mjtheman23]

To answer my own question: In The Ayer by Flo Rida

[singinglawnchair]

This is a test of the Emergency Ass-shaking Alert System. The broadcasters in your area, in voluntary cooperation with local, state and federal authorities have developed this system to play slammin' booty jams in the event of an emergency.

[CubsFan2812]

@singinglawnchair YEAAAAH!

[lightningbolt99999]

lmfao!!! That comment made my day lol!!!

[lightningbolt99999]

@singinglawnchair LMFAO I can just imagine everyone shakin their asses when a tornado is over their house.

[jacobdallen]

LOL

[Zorak258]

i live in parkersburg wv where u live?

[Zorak258]

they played som song during an amber alert

[MendotaTech]

Remember that some Radio stations are official EAS emitter. This means that the station can activate EAS as well as the NWS office by just telling the EAS transmitter what type of alert is going to be sent. Also, the Radio Show host has the option to either broadcast their own voice to alert people that this is a test or broadcast music which coincidentally serves the same purpose.

[XtremeWeirdo]

Oh my God, that is so good xDD

[sap0926]

not a ghetto as that tv, what is taht a 19 inch?
