Why in god's name does this only have only have 6000 views?! This is one of the most iconic, if not THE iconic radio broadcast of the radio age, read by the finest voice to grace the airwaves. And yet Rebeca Black has almost 100 million views. Fucking despicable.

My grandpa remember it. He says people were getting out on the streets and were in panic.

This is THE most inconic piece of radio history, but this is also old and people usually don't remember things like this.

And to think that the franch speaking countries (I personally live in Belgium), who copy every western succes (music, films, etc.) are not aware that this is the origin of a broadcast made some years ago here in Belgium. To think they're so ignorant to everything they don't understand... And... who t f is Rebaca Black?!
