Man emerges from bunker 14 years after Y2K scare

January 1, 2000 was the day that our computers were meant to fail us and change our lives forever. It was also the day that 44 year old Norman Feller headed into his underground bunker over fears of the fallout from the Y2K virus. Remarkably Mr. Feller spent the next 14 years in isolation only to emerge this past September.

In this touching documentary, Peter Oldring visits with Norman to learn more about his unbelievable decision to live underground.

This Is That is a current affairs program that doesn’t just talk about the issues, it fabricates them.

FReeper Norman...welcome back.

We were thick with them here back in the day.

Jethro Tull is the one I remember most.

I told him his fears were irrational, and he told me he hoped my family and I all starved to death in a government concentration camp because I wouldn't listen to him.

Smells like BS. Get some preppers on this thread to figure the supplies/space required for 14 years.

The podcast: http://podcast.cbc.ca/mp3/podcasts/thisisthat_20131213_35402.mp3

Warning: It’s very painful.....except for the golden nugget of a loon who is offended by the reporter...........Classic gold!

Poor Normie is scourned by his *X-wife* Debbie...even though he came out of the bunker a year early!

*Did acid rain just stop...I can’t believe the Simpsons is still on and Friends was cancelled.*

*Prepare for the possibility that the planet could live forever; right? Simple.*

He’s excited about the pizza with a hot dog in the crust.

*Come stay for dinner!*

Wait till he find out who sits in the Oval Office.

My first thoughts, too. The gay commies have taken over.

This looks a man who is scamming everyone? And misses the show Friends?

I think not. He looks completely stunned.

Uhh, folks, this is NOT the main part of the CBC website. This is from their satire program. THIS STORY IS NOT TRUE.

I apologize. Norman does NOT exist. It was a spoof.

Still every bit as funny as the deaf translator for the Mandela party.
