You know I get they are meant to test the "emergency broadcast" system, but why on earth would they need to do it so much? Perhaps it may just be my area, but I've gotten the message 3 times in a single week. I put this in the politics section because I want to know if the government has spoken out about this, I remember these only happening once a month or so, and now it's becoming a weekly occurrence on multiple occasions. Anyone else having this issue?

You actually tune in to broadcasts? I don't think I've listened or watched any broadcast media in a year. INTERWEBZ FTW!

If this had been an actual emergency you would have been instructed to vote Mitt Romney in tonight's festival of morons.

It has happened to me twice today, in only a 2 hour period.
I'm currently in Missouri.

quite odd.

i wonder if it stems from the failed attempt at a national emergency broadcast in the fall.
