Why does everything have to be compared to Pompeii? Great discovery though

No volcano, though. That will probably cut down on the number of movies made about it.

Unless Hollywood just elects to write one in.
Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades. Something is definitely wrong. This is not good work. If this is the best God can do, I am not impressed.

I would argue that the term obscures rathers than helps the less informed.

Silly comparisons are rarely of any value.

Headline writers are a breed apart.
