If nothing else the show is pretty funny, which it's meant to be. The only ones who don't seem to be in on the joke are the people being profiled. They had this girl on the other day, she was in Houston or San Antonio, some city in Texas. She was preparing an evacuation route out of the city through drainage ditches and sewers (to avoid the roving bands of crazed murderers), because she's convinced that a global oil crisis is going to end civilization as we know it. So once she got out of the city her plan was to go to Mexico.
because, you know, in the event of some catastrophic disaster, the first place you would want to go would be a bastion of civilization like Ciudad Juarez.
