Gaffe on CNN

I tried posting this earlier but my modem conked out on the sending...

For those of you who did not watch CNN's coverage of the Democratic National Convention, here's an interesting tidbit for you.

After Kerry's speech, when the balloons were scheduled to come down, there was a bit of a snafu (Situation Normal, All F*cked Up). Seems the balloons were caught in the rafters. Well, CNN's microphones somehow snagged the frequency of the radios the Fleet Center crew was using. (I was wondering why I kept hearing "Go Balloons" and then later "Go Confetti". Having worked stadiums before, it wasn't hard to figure out.) Well, at first it was just a repeated call for "Go Balloons". Over, and over. Finally a trickle of balloons started to fall. Here and there, spotty at best. Then, the call for confetti. Confetti came down like a soft rain, balloons were still spotty. Well, the voice on the radio got really upset by this apparently. After a few "What's happening?"'s and a "Shit" or two, well, the bubble burst. "What the F*CK is happening???" was broadcast to the nation and the world.

So, to all of you viewers who tuned in to Fox (once again missing a chance to blast Dems), ABC, NBC, CBS, or PBS (or C-SPAN), well, there you go. Something funny happened on the way to being President.

Wait til the FCC realizes it. At least it happened after kiddie hours.
