In today’s long-awaited “Tuesday Fun Video,” Mexican CNN anchor Rick Sanchez plays Mexican music over footage of a massive iceberg collapsing into the ocean, near Greenland, just to put on a show for tourists. While you Science-pansies out there may whine, “Wah wah global warming wah wah wah,” just like that, your Wonkette sees an opportunity to flex its God-given capitalistic rights with a “tourist trap:” Watch the Earth DIE, live!

Why was there a Mariachi band in the bkgrnd?
“Take all of Manhattan, multiply it 10 times, and then some, that’s how much Greenland has lost.” Sanchez would make a good math teacher.
The iceberg probably had socialized medicine.
Obama melted that iceberg because he is a nazi, duh. wake up sheeples, etc.
No, the iceberg was tasered.
Watch the Earth DIE, live!
Then watch it reform again. Welcome . . . to the restaurant at the end of the universe!
Global warming makes the world safe for unsinkable ships!
Cover-up! There is no way that iceberg could have collapsed on its own like that. All the evidence points to strategically placed explosives.
That iceberg was drunk, is all.
I have an important question: why is Rick Sanchez tilting himself at a 45-degree angle while talking to me?
What a shame! He was such a mensch…
Oh, ICEberg, I thought you said WEISSberg.
I would prefer los tacos del dia, followed by las margaritas del afternoono (tarde?) por favor.
Every time a glacier melts Lyndon LaRouche beats his gentials and then sends his poor cultists out to try to sell $5 pamphlets describing how it’s just another way the (seriously mentally challenged) government is conspiring against him.
Yeah, I saw a few LPAC cultists with very depressing 1000-yd stares on my way to get a sandwich at lunch. Very depressing.
[re=394617]orange[/re]: That’s a mexican-style rain dance, except that instead of making it rain it melts shit, like taco cheese, and glaciers.
That iceberg was God’s piñata.
It’s a metaphor for health care reform. Pieces of it are being chipped off one by one until nothing meaningful is left. That’s when Obama will finally feel comfortable enough to sign it. He won’t offend anyone then, especially the least powerful yet loudest interest group — republicans.
[re=394631]dementor[/re]: Excuse me? The teevee clearly states that the iceberg was TIPSY. No seriously, the huge floating block of melting ice was “totally just buzzed.”
If Nobama Care goes through, this is what’s going to happen to America! The iceberg was white, wake up and put on your colonial cosplay, people!
Iceberg? I didn’t see an iceberg.
“Polar ice caps”? Don’t be absurd, everyone knows that those are just a myth that liberals created. Never existed.
Oh they’ll show you “evidence” (John McCain-style Allosaurus-claw-like finger quotes used here) and “scientific records” and you know, “photographs” that show the ice caps there but those could be from any planet.
It’s all a part of polar ice cap and trade.
[re=394617]orange[/re]: Everything that brown people do in the brown countries comes with a background of mariachi music.
[re=394633]HandsomePete[/re]: “I shoulda used Preparation H!”
[re=394666]Uncertainty Vice-Principal[/re]: The name Greenland clearly gives away their environmental bias. Why should we believe stooges who’ve drunk the Kool-Aid?
[re=394690]SayItWithWookies[/re]:
I think the name Finland makes them sound even more fishy, but I’ll go with yours.
see it before its gone folks!
Wow. I didn’t know Greenland even had any journalists. They must have a lot of bars to attract enough for live glacial coverage.
Greenland finally sank!? About damn time. And good riddance.
I’d like to change my avatar name to ‘Liberal Gay Iceberg’, please.
Obviously an EMP blast. It’s started …
Tipsy iceberg was my porno name back at Grand Valley State.
Isn’t that Kim Jong Il, holding up a microphones at 0:22? NICE SHADES DEAR LEADER BUT WE KNOW IT’S YOU!!!!
They will put em in an iceberg museum
How many olds will fit on it NOW?
[re=394818]Tommmcatt[/re]: Yes, indeed it was. And a Taepodong-II launched from the beach took out an iceberg 50ft off shore.
They should have played that Ice, Ice, Baby song in the background, instead.
Calm down Whole Food boycotters. Obama is just replacing the iceberg with arugula.
That must have been Lou Dobbs playing the background music, taco’s anyone?
Just to be clear, Rick Sanchez is Cuban not Mexican. He cut his teeth as an anchor in Miami. Vive la Patria!
I was disappointed to see no post iceberg collapse wave coming ashore to wipe away the game field.
So, right after that clip ended, did all those people get hit by a wave and drown?
To be fair, I think that was a glacier calving, and the result is an iceberg. So birth, not death. Wherz itz calvin certifikut?
[re=394897]lemprika[/re]: There’s a difference?
Wow – it’s like they just knew something was going to happen – why were they all there in the first place?
The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was given power to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.
—Revelation 16:8-9
So it’s not my carbon footprint after all. Why do I have to pay environmental taxes when I’m not the one heating up the earth?
It was like an Icarusberg. Flew too high as a glacier, and now it spends its remaining days bobbing helplessly in Jeebus’ cocktail glass. Also.
The gay Muir snowfield in Glacier N.P. also melted earlier than usual this year.
What do you expect when you elect a Muslin president who pals around with terrorists and is approved by Fidel Castro?
