Well, they are brown people after all.

Well, yes, but the Government of Pakistan is corrupt and incompetent, so you won't get the quick, efficient clean-up that you saw after Katrina.

Heck of a job, Patel?

Ah yes, reminds me of the St Elizabeth's Flood of 1421! One of the worst floods ever to hit Holland.

Or, y'know, pretty much any other flood.

Most low-hanging fruit you'll see all week... But the way you pluck'd it earns you an Irony Salute.

If only there were some song to advise them on this.

I blame Bush.

/Milk Chocolate City ?

Pakistan's president doesn't care about Pakistan people.

No, not familiar at all, since it happened almost a month ago. It's not news, it's Fark(tm)

I blame evolution.
A few million years ago this wouldn't be a problem.

Careful, someone might get "life evolves in pakistan" greenlit now, given that month-old stories are only now getting a greenlight. Yet we get seventeen stories a day about birfers. Go figure.

Came for that, now leaving... 'Top hole Sir / Maam'. That is all.

Yeah, old news is so... wait, isn't that today?

TFA is about the evacuation. The flooding they're evacuating from happened a month ago. But yeah, given your slashie, I expected no less than complete and utter ignorance

Are you saying the waters have receded? I'm a bit puzzled. Do you have a link on the current state of play?

After the levees broke and flooded almost the entire city, residents were forced to flee with just the clothes on their back while officials say the city may never recover. Sound familiar?

Yep!

if you're old-school.

At least they built above sea level....it will eventually drain.

Unlike the "familiar" reference.

And where are all of the photos of people stealing cases of Heineken and 52" Plasma TVs?

No, the waters haven't receded, in fact, it's looking like the town in question is going to be part of the Indus river for quite a while. TFA's headline should be more along the lines of "troubles while continuing to evacuate the lake that was the Indus river". The town that MIGHT get saved is Hyderabad at this point, Sujawal and Thatta are goners. Think of it this way, in American terms, if the Mississippi was flooding, this would be like an article about a Vicksburg evacuation when New Orleans desperately needs sandbags, all of this happening while the headlines were about another political scandal in Russia. To put it bluntly, yesterday's headlines were about the Glenn Beck wankfest during the time when another million people's homes were basically written off. Way to go, American Media!

ZeroCorpse: if you're old-school.

Very nice!

@MonkeyVegetables~~~with Al Gore's name like that, it reminded me of Algae.

I, too, am curious as to what the Heineken Guy is up to these days.

"I've got eight kids, no job, and I'm 140lbs overweight."

Oh wait, this isn't N'awlins.

MasterChief-M4: "I've got eight kids, no job, and I'm 140lbs overweight 80lbs soaking wet."

Oh wait, this isn't N'awlins.

FTFY, it's India

Curious: as we sit in our mother's basements making jokes take a minute to think just what this would feel like if it happened to you.

yeah yeah welcometofark.jpg but 17 million folks are being affected by this. and the failure to plant means we will be dealing with this for a long time.

to say nothing of destabilizing a nuke armed nation.

Maybe the nukes and Talibans will drown. In the meantime, send them a million or two in aid since that's what they sent for Katrina.

No offense meant in my previous post if somebody's nick is algore =)
