My Camera is a Drama Queen

While trying to download pictures of Andrew's Birthday Suit onto my laptop, I get this screen.

For those who don't have binoculars with them, here is a closer look at the error message I got.

Catastrophic Failure. I'll let that one sink in a little.

What the hell could possibly be going on in my camera that would be so catastrophic? Is there a war I don't know about happening inside my camera? An earthquake? Genocide? Plague?

I have gotten a lot of error messages from technology, but never something so histrionic. It's like my camera is a 14 year old girl. I'm surprised it didn't start crying, yelling "NOBODY UNDERSTANDS ME".
