What Kills Us This Week!

You may have noticed that I'm not doing my "What HK is in a panic about this week" post anymore, but it's not because HK has stopped the constant Chicken-Little-ing, it's just that I've got so used to it, I'm now barely noticing anymore.

However, I just have to tell you that this week EVERYONE booked on sea cruises is cancelling thanks to the Costa Concordia accident.  It's not often that HK cares about anything that happens in the rest of the world, but this has caught their attention and everyone's using it as an excuse to Go Chicken-Little bigtime.

And since this is HK, everyone's looking for omens predicting this would happen and already stuff is making the rounds. Like this youtube clip:



You'll notice that the champagne bottle doesn't break despite several attempts, and HK is talking about how it's a dark omen that Costa Concordia was doomed to go under taking lots of passengers with it ...

... so don't you think that this should mean that rather than everyone cancelling their sea cruises they should be checking what happened to the champagne bottle at the launch of the ship that they're taking their cruise on.
