It's kinda like a Myanmar.

doglover: What's a Burma?

It's a country in southeast Asia, but that's not important right now.

It was changed in 1989... You're not that young. Unless i'm mistaken about the date of name change.

Sorry, I panicked.

Cracked just featured Ne Win in one of their list of unbelievably insane dictators. The dude was absolutely off the rails.

What's the over/under on the days before Sean Penn shows up?

I less-than-three all of the Burma Shave headlines.

In any case, official US and other foreign government policies still refers to the country as "Burma" to protest the legitimacy of the ruling Junta.

1989? Well, I was still pissing myself as of 2009, but I was REALLY drunk that day and already in the toilet.

But the point is I've never really heard of Burma. It's always been Myrnmar.

As far as formulation of opinions is concerned, it seems to me like most farkers were born in the mid-90's.

Unhip1		2011-03-24 11:03:08 AM

Near is near
And far is far
They now call Burma "Myannmar"
Burma Quake

/-1 for your headline, Subby
/ Japan /= Myannmar

DriftingJesus		2011-03-24 11:03:10 AM

Don't worry Rambo will take care of this

Yewbie		2011-03-24 11:03:15 AM

There is literally nothing for 100's of miles near where this happened.

unyon		2011-03-24 11:03:27 AM

I also enjoyed the CBC sidebar on earthquakes in Canada from 1988. Not because of the content, but mostly because of the wardrobes and cop staches.

Hey CBC, you can probably revisit the topic in the next few years, just in time for this piece's silver anniversary.

Also: Does Bill Cameron never age?

I sure hope no one was hurt, because I don't want to go straight to hell for laughing at this.

Mark Ratner		2011-03-24 11:05:22 AM

I'm starting to believe the end of the world is coming soon. Seriously.

Don't be.

It will always be Burma to me.

Well, it's closer than it ever has been.
But I wouldn't run up all my credit cards just yet.

hogans		2011-03-24 11:06:55 AM

"BURMA!"

"What'd you say that for?"

"I panicked."

Smack_Adams		2011-03-24 11:07:02 AM

Has anyone seen Omarion?
I can only pray.

Sorry jbc. I should have refreshed. Your picture is better and you have a longer quote.

themanfromlamancha		2011-03-24 11:07:58 AM

I submitted this link with a much, much less witty headline. Well done Subby

The effects could be felt as far away as the Thai capital of Bangkok, where buildings swayed.

We get our kicks above the waistline, Sunshine.

Cyberluddite		2011-03-24 11:08:38 AM

Great work, Subby. +1 for sure.

Put a little tp on the cut you'll be fine.

Only on Fark can a tragedy provide an entertaining headline. I love you Fark.

"Not again / For God's sake / How much more / Can we take / Burma Quake "

Awesome headline but subby is probably an old fart...

CaptainWes		2011-03-24 11:12:12 AM

I'm not saying subby didn't do a good job, but this headline's been done before. Just like the playing in A minor ones. Still, good work on this one.

humanshrapnel		2011-03-24 11:12:37 AM

Came in to suck off Subby, glad to see there's a line ahead of me.

doglover: What's a Burma?

Come on. It's still referred to as Burma half the time, anyway. Many refuse to call it Myanmar for a reason. To claim you've never even heard of Burma shows you're either being obtuse or ignorant entirely.
