OMG they fixed it. It's been posted.
It's probably too much to hope that the responsible parties are properly ashamed.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Just think of people who have to work in certain rides at Disneyland/world.

Ha! I am now scared to touch anything, but I guess that's unavoidable in real life.
That was my response after reading The Stand for the first time. Every time I heard someone cough nearby, I jumped.
As for Contagion, my brother the infectious disease guru says it's the most accurate representation of ID he's ever seen.

Oh, indeed. I'm just grateful they didn't extend the announcement period to two weeks: it's open for the legal minimum.

Our wings are not tired.
'suela, I am so relieved that it's up and been fixed. I will be absolutely homicidal if a vet just happens to turn up who has that lighthouse experience required. HOMICIDAL.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I always feel sorry about the retail people who have to listen to the same Christmas carols over and over.
When I worked for K-Mart back in high school, there was a loop of about 10 Christmas songs that played for about 6 weeks. And since it was K-Mart, it wasn't well-known Christmas songs; it was weird cut-rate songs about Mrs. Santa Claus washing the elves' boots or some such. Over and over and over.

I worked in the kids department at Penney's when the Teletubbies were big. We had a tape of one episode that we played all day for several months I thought I was going to go insane!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'm not a guru but I dabble and it's scary accurate. People think it was exaggerated horror? That was reality. So, you know, get the vax that you can. And wash your hands.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That sports one would make more sense to me if there weren't humans involved in the random number generation. If you can see that guy break his leg and still finish the race and think "weighted random numbers" then, yeah, sports are not your things, but I don't know how 'random' applies, as opposed to 'meaningless'. People, man. People strive, and people excel. That's never not made sense to me, even in sports that leave me entirely cold--they're just excelling at something that doesn't get my knickers dirty.
