It’s Thursday, so I feel comfortable with tossing out a double negative.
I couldn’t not toss this offering to you.
I don’t know what’s more interesting: This fella in Alabama talking about the dead birds, the journalist referring to them as black birds–as opposed to panthers or ants–or the fact that there are hundreds more dead birds found along a roadway in the American south?
What are we seeing here, folks? Why are all of these birds dying along roadsides? Is this just some oddly violent “crop circling?” Some kind of a joke pulled off by a secret society? Or, is life just taking its course? Maybe these birds are simply finding themselves the victim of increasingly strange weather patterns.
It is odd that this phenomena has been relegated to a nook in the American geographic landscape. All jokes about the end of the world aside, what the heck is causing these mass die-offs? And can they be considered die-offs? These birds look like they’ve been beaten, as opposed to having simply died. The U.S. Geological survey claims that this kind of stuff happens all the time, yet I’m willing to bet it doesn’t happen like this–like it has over the past two weeks.
I think it’s far more sinister. Or not. Or just a really interesting marketing ploy for the remake of Hitchcock’s “The Birds.”
