There’s a lyric in Les Miserables that goes, “the time is now/the day is here.”
While that quote sparked a French-based revolt, it can also apply to the ludicrous story that is the Area 51 raid. Several months ago, Matty Roberts decided to tell the internet a little joke: “hey guys, here’s an idea” it might as well have gone, “how about we Naruto run our way into the highly-classified, government-protected grounds? They’ll never stop us!”
The only thing more asinine than that proposal is the fact that people took it literally; and today, September 20th, is the day. Despite several warnings from both the local and national government, people are swarming around Area 51 and before the festivities have even begun, two have already been arrested.
The extent to which this “storm” will unfold remains to be seen; hopefully, for their sakes, it’ll be nothing more...
