JUST SHUT UP ABOUT THE STUPID DAMNED FIST BUMP ALREADY!

I'm so relieved. I thought for a moment there that something substantive had happened. Then I realized it was just CNN.

I like knowing all of these unnecessary tidbits about my candidates.

/sarcasm tag

It's not a fist bump, it's a terrorist fist jab.

I vote for a fist bump in the crotch for anybody who thinks this shiat is important.

The Obama-mobile is displeased.
Waits for its next meal.

Lionel Mandrake:It's not a fist bump, it's a terrorist fist jab.

Jabbing with the terrorists or at the terrorists? This is important.

it amazes me that they made this a story beyond the old people's initial questioning of 'what did that mean?'

i understand it as a one off, a story illustrating a generational shift manifesting itself. but dragging this nonsense on reminds me why i hate mainstream media.

Booyah! Now run along to the sandbox.

Well I am so glad we are concerned about the issues in this election.

Modderator:Jabbing with the terrorists or at the terrorists? This is important.



"You're not angry at them, you're just pointing."

We will never have an honest candidate again, thanks to 24-hour cable news. When there is nothing to report, they make shiat up. They will feast on any single word that can be misconstrued. They will scream to the heavens about bullshiat. And when they are proven wrong, they will slip the retraction deep in their website, and scream about the latest madeup bullshiat or scandal, and never bring up the mistake again. And the mouth breathing masses will never know it was a mistake because they don't take the time to look for it.

Would you shut up? The 24/7s are busy trying to convince Democrats that they should hate Obama for his FISA stance.

I thought that was Fark's job.

blah, blah, better headline...

/meh.

robsul82:Would you shut up? The 24/7s are busy trying to convince Democrats that they should hate Obama for his FISA stance.

i heard he was george bush's third term.

burndtdan:robsul82:Would you shut up? The 24/7s are busy trying to convince Democrats that they should hate Obama for his FISA stance.

i heard he was george bush's third term.

I heard he was too left for the right and too right for the left making him actually stand outside of the spectrum altogether, which is what one would expect from a jihadi manchurian candidate who hates America.

sigdiamond2000:"You're not angry at them, you're just pointing."

I know you, I know you!

Old and busted: RUDY 9/11 GIULIANI 9/11 9/11 LOLOLOLOL
New hotness: BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA UNDER THE BUS LOLOLOLOL

I guess this is what happens when you have 24 hour media outlets in a world where interesting news just doesn't happen 24 hours a day.

Well, at least not if you confine yourself only to what happens inside the US of A.

yes, but will he adopt ClapClapPointPoint(tm)

Is the head dead yet?
The fellas in the newsroom have a running bet...

I hate you CNN.

Modderator:Jabbing with the terrorists or at the terrorists? This is important.

Both, that's why it's so insidious.

kasmel:yes, but will he adopt ClapClapPointPoint(tm)

I loved ClapClapPointPoint. I'm waiting for the Wii version to come out.

This is going to be a LONG 4 months.

Lionel Mandrake:It's not a fist bump, it's a terrorist fist jab.

Exactly. Subby (and CNN) is obviously trying to slant the story with his biased headline.

Duke Phillips' Singing Bears:I loved ClapClapPointPoint. I'm waiting for the Wii version to come out.

Well done.

*bangs head on desk repeatedly*

I wish an asteroid would hit the earth.

Things like the whole "fist bump" story are exactly why I don't even try and get news from 24/7 news outlets any more. They have way more bandwidth than content and as a result they have to scrape every barrel they come to for everything they can.

It really makes me sad to think how many of my fellow Americans are counting on these outlets for 100% of the information they get about the world.

kasmel:Duke Phillips' Singing Bears:I loved ClapClapPointPoint. I'm waiting for the Wii version to come out.

Well done.

It's going to be a pretty weird game. You spend most of it wacking two Wiimotes together and then pointing at random spots on the screen with one or both of them, and then you spend the rest of the game demanding money, respect and cheesecake.

But I still think it's gonna sell better than GTA 4.

Ted Turner and Rupert Murdoch should both be strapped in to chairs with their eyelids propped open and forced to watch their own cable news channels 24 hours a day for a week.

It is like CNN has junior high interns writing their web pages. Is there really nothing more important going on, anywhere?

There should be a mini-game where you run a race and then claim the other mii's record time as your own.

PanicMan:I hate you CNN.

Seriously. There's a video, for fark's sake.

Cyborg77:Ted Turner and Rupert Murdoch should both be strapped in to chairs with their eyelids propped open and forced to watch their own cable news channels 24 hours a day for a week.

I don't think Ted Turner is in control of CNN anymore (but I could be wrong about that)

/where is McCainDemocrat to tell us that Obama fist-bumped CNN under the bus?

Jamespoon:JUST SHUT UP ABOUT THE STUPID DAMNED FIST BUMP ALREADY!

Then they would have to report actual news. This way they have something for their 20 minute loop on their 24 hour network.

Read the comments section. I'd swear that half of them are written by farkers

I had a dream last night where everywhere I went, people were blaming Barack Obama for everything. I was outside a grocery store and a big Buick is parked half on the sidewalk, half on the landscaping. "That's Obama's car, he doesn't care where he parks," someone else says. In the store, there was a cart in the middle of the entrance. "Obama left that there while he went to go find ice cream," said some old lady. I went down another aisle and there was a bunch of broken eggs on the ground. "Barack Obama threw those on the ground and laughed," said a store employee. By the milk there was some guy crying because Obama punched him in the stomach for no reason. In the distance, I see Barack Obama squishing loaves of bread and putting them back on the shelf.

I'm dead honest. It was one of the funniest dreams I've had in a long time. Almost as good as the one where I pushed a former boss inside bread oven.

subberCNN actually admits the error: Obama's fist bump is perfectly safe and not under the bus as originally stated

well that's great news...FOR HILLARY!

Am I all alone in the fact that my dreams tend to have little narrative structure at all?

Hey hey hey - nobody better even think about bumping a fist under my bus.

Off-limits territory, I don't care what promises get made.

Obama gonna this,
Obama gonna that,
Obama gonna this,
Obama gonna that.

So, is the phrase 'Under the bus' this week's Fark's insta-green keywords?

CNN = FoxNews lite?

Sydney Opera House:CNN = FoxNews lite?

It's a vast right-wing conspiracy!

Nemo's Brother:Sydney Opera House:CNN = FoxNews lite?

It's a vast right-wing conspiracy!


Vast poor journalistic standards conspiracy. CNN needs to develop some self esteem and realize that even though Fox passed it in ratings, it still can retain a sense of purpose.

Right now, CNN is like the fat cheerleader who is hated by all the skinny blonde ones.

Hilarious, thanks for the laugh.
