So thrilling. What will fall into the sinkhole next? Will the sinkhole eventually swallow the entire planet? Tune in after the break for more SINKHOLE.

2. lol....
I can't watch tv right now, but think tv's themselves become sink holes, especially when it comes to this country's corporate media.

Lousy cable system. We have a freaking golf channel, which is two steps below a sinkhole channel.

And don't get me started on Mother Angelica taking up space on my cable lineup -- especially when I can't get Aussie Rules football any more.

7. Can you explain? Is the sinkhole a mental event?
Like if you have been on the infernal Internett for days, with only pickles and pork rinds as nourishment, and then your computer chair (with you in it) sinks into what is left in the carpet, while your unfed animals start nibbling at the top of your skull?

Or is it not quite that bad?? A mere meterological or geophysical event, like the local dormant volcano exploding??

13. Sadly, it is literally a sinkhole
The MSNBC anchors been watching it in extreme closeup for the last ten minutes wondering whether or not a barrel on the edge is going to fall in.

And no blinding teeth, either!

38. We need a sinkhole forum?
It's funny because it reminds people of one of those old, old scary movies.

"The Sinkhole Thing from Outer Space"

"The Sinkhole that Devoured Texas and Godzilla's Bride" :rofl:

The way the news is acting just plays into it. "Lets go to commercial break and we'll get right back to the Texas Sinkhole" Ya'll remember the old spaceship movies were the astro-knots!!1!!! sat in plastic chairs in their craft and had a steering wheel and a gas guage that read F...../.....E?

Too funny.

Now, I'm back to sinkhole coverage.

We need to get this sinkhole in a town hall meeting it cant have worse ideas for fixing this nations problems than the gop maybe we should open up a third party slot for 'sinkhole'.

Naa if we got sinkhole involved in the American Election process I think we all know how it would end up:

We can have up to the minute coverage so we know what everyone who has anything to do with sinkhole did 30 years ago, maybe pull some you tube clips of what sinkhole pastor or advisor's have said in the past. Has sinkhole exaggerated and claims about sniper fire? how old is sink hole? can sinkhole make inroads with the above sea level electorate? will Rush have gop voters try to complicate the sinkhole nomination process?

Then we can see sinkhole on the view making cute jokes while people are hurting, taking money from lobbyist, probably in the excavation industry if you know what I mean... First I think sinkhole needs to write an inspirational or reflective book on all its accomplishments go on tour and start raising money for 2012 cause baby if the dems screw this one up I might just vote sinkhole in 12'

Guess I'll have to wait and find out when they have Sinkhole, the sequel.

53. And once again, MY part of the country is forgotten.
We had a sinkhole right in the middle of downtown Cleveland a few months ago. Right in Superior Avenue near Public Square. Did it get this kind of wall-to-wall coverage? No, it did not.

Apparently, sinkholes in Cleveland are not as important as sinkholes in Texas. I demand the networks provide equal sinkhole coverage!
