BREAKING NEWS: 30-Foot Salami To Reach Burbank Within the Hour

UPDATE 11:50 AM 3/11/11: An individual who wishes to remain nameless submitted this spectacular artist's rendering of the formidable salami approaching SoCal:

o
The salami appears to be MUCH larger than the original estimate of 30 feet, and one can only speculate about its catastrophic effects on the Southland, which should occur at any moment now.
o
ORIGINAL POST:

o
We at the AFB are praying for our brothers and sisters in Japan during these extraordinary continuing events.
o
The related news out of Burbank comes from Maren,

who in an honest mistake on the way to school this morning called the approaching Tsunami a "Salami", causing her brother to have a laughing fit and to begin discussing the potential repercussions of a 30-foot salami bearing down on the west coast.
o
Rest assured that when the giant salami reaches Burbank, the AFB will be live on the scene.
