Sigette said it did absolutely nothing to our TV and radio at the ranch.

Another gub'mint cluster-foxtrot...and Barry holds the killswitch.

I feel better already.

Directv subscribers saw a slide that told them the test was coming up shortly - and it was only a test. Instead of seeing the test they were serenaded by Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" and their equipment never received the header to start the test - FAIL

Hearing reports that the header didn't cross two FEMA "bridges" (Texas? and Tampa) so those regions did not see the test - FAIL

Also saw video of one state that received the test successfully, then followed right behind it with the state weekly test - FEMA wanted an accurate assesment of how long the test took - by doing that they could not send let FEMA know how long the EAN lasted - FAIL

The audio was a garbled mess - the very beginning of the message sounded ok but then sounded like it was put through a Roland Space Echo, and then a third faint message in Spanish saying the same thing.
Hey guys - it's called two separate soundproof booths so we don't hear both messages explaining it's a test in two languages - FAIL
