That's just because we have so many Florida snowbirds here. Coupla sunshowers stow away in some luggage, next thing you know the place is lousy with 'em.

God, the sunshower-control fees are ridiculous here in the Midwest. Check your goddamn luggage before you head back or you're liable to get soaking wet without warning one day while you're mowing your lawn while your dry neighbors all stare at you.

Also yo Florida you can keep your oh-so-endangered scrub jays too, they sound like a smoke detector hosed a 1980's lasergun toy and then hosed the degenerate offspring resulting from that hookup. No loving wonder they're endangered:

"Oh this habitat is home to some of the last remaining Florida scrub jays in the state; they are so wonderful"

Growing up in the semi-rural outskirts of Hampton Roads, I actually managed to get sweltering Florida summers and fuckoff cold Michigan winters every year , and got used to both of em.

Basically, you're states suck, and Virginia has a loving retarded weather pattern that breeds hardy dwarves.

The Asylum took off when Blockbuster accidentally ordered a bunch of copies of TORNADO instead of TWISTER. Blockbuster noticed that people still rented TORNADO in droves, but that copies of Asylum movies were like a quarter of the cost of big Hollywood movies, so they started buying whatever they could from Asylum.

Nowadays, with Blockbuster dead, their films are mostly watched by people looking for ironic knockoff silliness, or people who want to know why this Sherlock Holmes movie has a T-rex on the front, or people too dumb to realize that Transmorphers isn't the big Hollywood film.

Because money! Certain films when made to flop can have tax incentives that actually create profit. Look up Uwe Boll and taxes.

The Asylum isn't exploiting tax loopholes, they're exploiting "having an incredibly low budget".
