Here is a clip of what one flustered CNN anchor calls “two guys pretending to console each other” after yesterday’s carnage on Wall Street. (SHHH DON’T TELL ANYONE IT IS SOME SORT OF HOWARD STERN PRANK.) After the jump, Hurricane Ike comes to town … in a bear suit.
Oh hooray!

Baba Booey Baba Booey Baba Booey Howard Stern’s Penis Baba Booey!
i think that young lady in the early frames forgot her skirt. no wonder they failed. sorry, sexist?
God bless that Howard Stern. If Wall Street is going to get fucked in the ass, they may as well start out with some sweet, tender lovin’.
Seriously, how bad can you feel for these guys if they take the CNN broadcast as an opportunity to pretend-fellate each other on camera. I mean, let’s face it: these guys probably received a $2 million bonus last Christmas. Lehman going bust just means they’ll be retiring at 35 instead of 45, and will have to settle for cruising the Cayman Islands in a sailboat rather than a yacht.
They’re just consoling each other.
The bear is okay but Geraldo getting knocked down by a wave was better. I am sure the sea water tasted familiar to him.
Serolf Divad: Et tu, Serolf? It’s just Richard and Sal having some fun. Have a nice day.
Hehehe. Wasn’t that David Chertoff in the bear suit leading homeland security to town to rescue us all?
No “furries” tag?
Don’t be so naive. We all knew in the end it would come down to chest licking.
“console”, complete with finger quotation marks.
Bababooie.
They were so stressed out that they HAD to begin licking each others chests. It’s the only logical thing to do in a situation like that. They realize that instead of a 14 million dollar bonus they will be getting a 13.8 million dollar bonus. Thats hard to swallow, unlike other things that were swallowed once the camera was gone. AMIRITE?!
Itsjustme: I believe that’s actually Geraldo in the bear suit. He’s going undercover.
HA! Those jokers in the background with their silly boxes.
Serolf Divad: Could have been anyone who had the opportunity to get into the camera shot. I’ve seen the same thing from tourists outside of The Today Show.
Classic Richard and Sal. On the show after they did that they said the next time a company goes under they’re going to “face f” each other with black dildos on camera behind the reporter. Lets keep our fingers crossed on this whole AIG thing!
InsidiousTuna: Or maybe it was those Howard Stern guys, dumbass.
Montry Python, FTW!
Monty, even.
There could have been more tongue.
Anybody else hear the great story on NPR yesterday? Some bitch complaining about tourists gawking at the erstwhile Masters of the Universe carrying out their pathetic little boxes with staplers, pen sets: “It’s a lack of respect,” she whines.
What do you suppose she thinks these people have done to earn anyone’s respect? Got grossly overpaid and went broke anyway. Show some respect!
Sorry Howard. That was a “Classic Wall Street Prank”. Hell, only luck saved us from the Classic Peanut Butter Fisting Prank.
Try and get some original material.
Frampton Comes Alive: Oh, duh. Fixed!
I welcome our Richard and Sal Wall Street Overlords.
CNN, just fucking admit it was a prank, none of this consoling BS. Next you’re going to tell me NORADs Santa monitoring system is real, and that my ex girlfriend thought my penis was “huge.”
Harvey Birdman: Is Montry a Muslin?
Those two broke the 10:00 PM gay watershed. They should know better than to be on TV as anything other than catty office gossips, understanding best friends to single fat women, and outraaaaaaaaaaaageous fashion designers before the 10 PM hour. No real displays of emotion outside those carefully defined stereotypes are allowed. Shame on those two and CNN.

I love how everyone is just giving the finger to CNN and their “serious” reporting. The gay couple without their rights and the bear about to drown say it all, doncha think?!
is that raplh nader in the bear suit?
I would never publish, broadcast or sensationalize this sort of attention-whoring.

Big Al1317: Wasn’t that David Chertoff in the bear suit leading homeland security to town to rescue us all?
Nope — that was “Heckuva-Job-Brownie Bear”.
Who was in the bear suit? Just a moose hiding out far from the
flight plan filed by Sarah (Sky Queen) Palin.
I wonder if Sarah knows that if she didn’t have a vagina, there
would be a bounty on her. Sorry, that should be “allegedly” has
a vagina, other than her husband.
the reporter who uses the word “console” sarcastically is obviously a dropout from a school for the mentally deficient. the 2 guys happened to be on the street, happened to see a news camera, and took it from there. not fat cat execs or their flunkies wallowing in the sad realization that now they must retire on multimillion dollar bank accounts, just a couple of guys on the street. the question is how that idiot newscaster can justify *her* very high salary when she is such a transparently defective dupe as to think her quip was either accurate or amusing.
CLASSIC wall street pranks, indeed.
