A Meteorologist Tebowed During A Hurricane, And Then The World Ended

We thought we’d seen Tebowing in every form imaginable. It happened at the ESPYs. It happened en masse at a minor league baseball game. And those two examples are from after the internet-conquering stage of the fad. Everyone, it seemed, had gotten their Tebowing in. There was none left to do. Finally, the Tebowing phase of our world was over.

Except for one thing. No one, to our knowledge, had Tebowed in the middle of a natural disaster. Understandable – going outside in the middle of natural disasters is dangerous, and pitting the power of a huge storm against the power of Tebow? The results could be catastrophic. But none of that stopped The Weather Channel’s Jim Cantore, out on the front lines of Hurricane Isaac:

Cantore might have had a chance if he hadn’t let on that he knew he was Tebowing. But once that name came up, it was over. Literally over – as is now sadly clear to us all, the earth could not handle the intersection of Tebow and Mother Nature’s wrath, and upon Cantore invoking the Tebow name, the earth opened up and swallowed first Cantore, then the rest of us. We are in another realm now, but the planet we all once called home is no more. “Oh dear god” is right, but as a man once warned, the gods will not save us now.
