Deaf people are going to be similarly confused. Could you caption things like this so we have some idea of what's up? Since I’m not using audio, I have no idea what’s going on here.

There are plenty of clips of male newscasters making idiots of themselves, just peruse Failblog.org and see what they have on offer, such as these from the most recent 4 pages: http://failblog.org/2009/11/13/geography-fail-4/ http://failblog.org/2009/11/10/fox-news-fail-2/ Now, if you want to talk about stereotyping Latinos and then going on to proclaim CNN is 'shattering Latino stereotypes', I can agree with that.

(I know it's crazy to think maybe a talking head knows a little something about music, but it's possible. Crazier things have happened...) I think I was more confused about the "Segway" thing. I really expected that to be a pun for a clip about those stupid scooters. Guess not.
