Volcanic Ash Cloud Turns Out to Be Finale of Lost
Andy Borowitz
ICELAND (The Borowitz Report http://tinyurl.com/pj3476 ) - A gigantic
ash cloud from an Icelandic volcano that blanketed Northern Europe on
Thursday and paralyzed air travel across the continent has turned out
to be part of the finale of the television series Lost, network
officials confirmed today.
Bracing themselves for the public uproar over a special-effects
spectacle gone awry, ABC officials today attempted to explain how the
producers' desire for a fitting ending to the increasingly convoluted
series led to an aviation nightmare.
The producers of Lost set off a small explosive charge underneath the
Eyjafjallajokull glacier in Iceland, hoping to create a cloud of black
smoke, said ABC spokesperson Carol Foyler. That was pretty much the
only way they could think of to end the series.
After the gigantic cloud of volcanic ash threatened aircraft for miles
around, it was clear that this time they went a little too far, she
said.
But even as ABC was taking great pains to explain how the Lost finale
ended in a volcanic eruption that cost European airlines billions of
dollars, longtime Lost fanatics were doubting the network's story.
Tracy Klugian, 27, a web designer from Evanston, Illinois who has seen
every episode of the confusing series at least eight times doesn't
believe that the gigantic ash cloud could possibly be the end of the
series: For one thing, it makes too much sense.
Mr. Klugian said he was spending all his free time looking for
alternative explanations: I even checked out if 'Eyjafjallajokull'
spelled backwards means anything. It doesn't. More here

I wonder what Mike Rivero would think about that? Who's Mike Rivero?
Glad you asked. He was an effects tech on Lost and I believe he
specializes in the the explosive effects. He's also a host for the
conspiracy oriented website www.whatreallyhappened.com. He also hosts
a podcast and I often listen to his Saturday show. He's a little
different from the usual conspiracy crowd, more left leaning and an
atheist. The latter sets him apart from the Bible thumping crowd that
frequently listen to the survivalist sponsored conspiracy shows. The
first part of yesterday's show he talked about the consequences of the
volcano's eruption and how government might use the economic effects as
an opportunity to take away more rights from citizens. He is, of
course, based in Hawaii and talked a bit about the local volcano and
especially warned people that if they visit to pay attention to those
signs on the path to not stray off the paths because that seemingly firm
looking ground nearby is actually just a think layer of glass over
molten lava and Darwin award candidates have been known to go a molten
death straying off and falling through the glass.
At the start of his second hour a caller talked about the Catholic stuff
and Rivero talker about the sham of religion mentioning how it goes back
to ancient Egypt with the sun obelisks which were of course phallic
symbols because the king had to have a bigger dick than everyone
else. You can download and listen to his podcasts here:

A couple weeks back he was doing reruns due to being busy with the final
episode of Lost.
