TV Today’s Moment of Extreme Awkwardness
Posted by on Fri, Mar 2 at 9:37 AM
You thought yesterday’s post of a news anchor making fun of an obese kid and a bear injuring himself on a trampoline was awkward? Well, there’s awkward “funny” and then there’s awkward “mortifying.” Check out this clip of CNN’s GLENN BECK interviewing an US Weekly editor about the controversial American Idol nudie pictures. I’ve told some offensive jokes in my day, but none of them EVER went over as badly as this one.
CRINGE BUTT: When someone does something SO embarrassing your butt clenches tight enough to break a pencil.

Don't settle for someone trying to make money off bicyclists.
Talk to a real Portland bicycle lawyer; not all Portland lawyers are real bicycle lawyers and they won't give you the extra passion that we feel makes a big difference when you do find a real Portland bicycle lawyer.

I've definitely made my share of "cringe butt" moments for people... but nothing as bad as that. (I think).
