wut?

/hot

huh?

I told you I didn't want to go there

Just a shot in the dark, but was one of the season of "Survivor" filmed on that island? That's the only sense I can make of the headline.

very nicely played, subby

//farking gifs, how do they work

I like it Subby, I like it.

Guys duh, only one person lives in Vanuatu, and since it was such a wimpy quake, he survived.

That, or it was a really lame Survivor (the reality TV show) joke.

Approves.

Dear Subby,

Here at Fark, we do not watch abominations of TV shows such as Survivor. Therefore, your joke headline is not funny.
/ Only 26 minutes left to get to the gym.

Survivor had a huge following for a bit as the 'it show', so is it safe to assume that due to its popularity, most Farkers will feign ignorance on the topic because they've deemed it uncool?

Pacific Tsunami Warning Center Link (new window)
TLDR: Nothing shaking

They obviously didn't have god mode activated.

There's no accounting for taste. Unless you have a ledger with delicious in one column and not delicious in the other.

The producer from Gasland will travel there to prove it's all related to fracking.

Before I found out it was a Survivor TV show joke, the best I could figure out was that subby meant the little red arrow-like thing on the map was the sole survivor.

I watched the first survivor. Haven't seen a single episode since. I don't even know what channel it's on anymore.

So Wilson survived?

Subdivide "most Farkers" us into camps that include "Farkers who watched it, found the premise ridiculous and happily ignored it along with other bad television and therefore make no connection between Vanuatu and the TV show" so I have somewhere to sit.

I wonder if he was listening to NIN?

I've never watched Survivor so didn't get the reference, but I do have an acquaintance from Vanuatu and was a bit worried for a second there. She's hardly ever home in Vanuatu anyway, so she probably wasn't there.

At least it's not too hard to find a place to bury one survivor.

Ill bet the survivor was a spawn camper.

/I got nothin'

The Google Street View guy didn't survive. He is dead and gray......

The fake hipsterness is kinda moot in this case, since it was a network TV show (namely, on CBS).

Get a life, Subby.

Ok, Farkers, if you had to make a headline about an earthquake in Vanuatu, what would it be? and don't just say it'd be better than this. There isn't anything to say about Vanuatu except Survivor.

Were they miraculously unharmed?

I live in Canada we don't get American network TV without cable unless we are close to the border.

I'm so cool, I only watch shows that are canceled before they're broadcast.

Soooo.... pointless headline? Minor earthquake, no reported casualties or damage, no tsunami on the way, no joke in the headline... give up and go home?


Maybe I would have found it funny if reality tv didn't make me want to vomit.

I like a clever headline as much as the next Farker but I prefer it when the clever headlines either A) reference something that is actually worth knowing about or B) pertain to a news story that might somehow be considered important.

A headline that references something nobody ought to remember and pertains to a story that has no impact on any of our lives should at the very least be a link to something amusing that can help me procrastinate at work. But that being said, if I had a headline that I thought would get me a greenlight...I'd hit it.

I am proud to say that I had no idea wtf subby was talking about.

I know Survivor exists, but I have no clue on where they are filmed. I don't think I have ever watched an episode on purpose. Then again, I hate 90% of all "reality" shows with the only ones I enjoy are things like Pawn Stars, American Pickers, etc.

And yes I am old, so get of my internet lawn.

wait, what is a TV? Shows? I have no idea what's going on.

Missing out on Survivor (and other reality crap on network TV) is perhaps the one time that your ridiculous "Canadian Content" regs have actually benefited anyone other than the production companies that get tax kick-backs and a captive audience of 30 million...

I just don't have time to get invested in shows. Sure I could DVR them, but I'd probably just end up never watching them.

The Pacific island nation of Vanuatu is the happiest place on earth, according to a new "happy planet index".

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/magazine/5172254.stm

It has wonderful weather, palm trees and sun. Ocean front property is dirt cheap!

The downside is that almost all the building supplies and labor have to be transported from Australia either by plane or boat. It's pretty common for people to buy land with visions of building their dream home on the beach then finding out it's not possible without herculean effort. Apparently, the education system isn't very good at turning out people that are competent in measuring and cutting.

Except that everyone has cable since there are very few over the air broadcasts available and the basic cable package is usually a feed from all of the US networks.

And now I live in Vanuatu, down by the river. Where everyone's houses used to be.

It's slang for "telegram", as in "Cable Aunt Millicent and let her know I am coming on the March 18^th coach".
