This may come as a surprise to you, but many CNN news anchors are complete doofuses, who, unlike us rational, never hyperbolic, attractive bloggers, are prone to making comparisons THAT ARE THE WORST THING EVER. Take, for instance, Martin Savidge. While interviewing a passenger on the now famous Carnival poop cruise, he compared their five-day inconvenience to Hurricane Katrina. He then got owned.
While interviewing one of the passengers, Rob Kenny, [CNN anchor] Martin Savidge likened the situation’s “isolation factor” to Hurricane Katrina.
“They never heard anything either,” said Savidge. “Your mind begins to race…you think you’re all alone. And of course, any rumor becomes solid fact.”
To which Kenny responded: “Let’s put that in perspective. I mean, Katrina was a major devastation. We’re on a freaking cruise ship, and we’re just out having a good time…That angle, I get it because it is just the isolation of communication but two different things. Two different things.” (Via)
You can watch the footage on Gawker, or you can pretend the interview never happened and that CNN just showed old GG Allin footage instead. Now THAT’S who you compare being covered in sh*t to.



See I thought this situation was more comparable to Auschwitz.
A well spoken American who puts things that affected him personally into its proper perspective?
*monocle falls into champagne glass*
I’m as shocked as you.
The media was covering the debarking of that ship like those people were being liberated from Dachau.
My parents lost a house in Galveston during Hurricane Ike, and I lost power for 18 days. It sucked, but I still wouldn’t rather be on that cruise. Give the reporter some slack.
No.
….That’s NOTHING……
…The guy put skim milk in my coffee today…..
I dunno’, the Superdome was pretty shit stained (and rapey). Was the cruise ship rapey?
Keep on it, Martin. I’m with you.
That’s a different cruise altogether. I think it was the Bud Light Singles Cruise that you’re thinking of.
No, this was the rapey one

It wasn’t rapey, but, people were watching others in the tent have sex because they were bored.
Well I never…
An NSFW tag (or prepare eyeball bleach solution tag) would have been nice on that video…
If you don’t know what to expect from GG Allin today, you kinda deserve it.

It saddens me that the poor use of hyperbole doesn’t even phase me anymore. I blame US politicians.
Poop Deck. [fixes bow tie]
That GG Allin video hurt my soul. Why did you do that?
Fun fact: that video is from the documentary “Hated”, which was the directorial debut of then-unknown NYU film student Todd Phillips. And you thought “Due Date” was shitty! [flaps dickey]
Much respect to this guy for maintaining perspective. Not sure I’d be able to do the same, after such an ordeal.
Did some wiki and GG was born Jesus Christ Allin because his father said he was visited by Jesus himself and the newborn would be a great man; Like a Messiah. So, yeah, that explains everything. Not a bad song though…..Minus the cowboy boots. They’re a deal killer.
they can put that on youtube? yowza.
