Wow. I've been watching way too much science fiction.

I saw this headline online:

Underwear Sales Are Rising. You Know What That Means


My first thought: people are getting ready for the apocalypse...but, no, it apparently just means that the economy is improving.

Anybody else watching way too much science fiction?

Not sure, but when I read that headline, I imagined it in the voice that said "Sun filter rising" in the second episode of the ninth Doctor. Does that count?

My first thought was the Underpants Gnomes from South Park...

Reading that headline, I actually wondered if it were more men's or women's underwear being sold, and what kind of it. From there, my mind kinda driftet ...

LMFAO Glad I'm not the only one

 

[highlander]

Or it could mean less people are going "commando"

 

[Robert Maxwell]

My first thought was the Underpants Gnomes from South Park...

Yeah, I just figured it was indicative of rampant underpants theft...

 

[Kai "the spy"]

Man, now I figured out their plan.

Phase I: Steal all the underwear.

Phase II: People start buying new underwear.

Phase III: Profit!

Oh Darling. One can never watch too much science fiction

My first thought was the Underpants Gnomes from South Park...

Yup. This!

I probably read more sf than I watch, but it has pretty much the same effect.

 

[RandyS]

"Way too much Science Fiction"?

I didn't know there was such a thing.

 

[Set Harth]

Does that headline mean people are having more "accidents"?
