VIDEO CATASTROPHES

July 14, 2010

A Very Special Broadcast of the 2010 Weeping Eagle Awards!

by Ken Layne  

Cry, Emo Lincoln.It seems like only a week ago that America gathered around its iPad or whatever and watched the 2010 Weeping Eagle Awards, which were not actually broadcast. But now the awful heat wave is mostly over and the awards have been distributed and our nation is a richer, better country. And we’ve got the official Wonkette Weagles world premiere video right here, and we very smartly cut this gibberish down from about three hours to a few amusing (?) minutes.


Thanks to everybody who showed up and helped out! Now let’s go out and change America.

Seriously, you need some better ice-wranglers.

Dashboard_Buddha July 14, 2010 at 9:43 am

I wish I were young, good looking, and lived in/around DC like you folks. sigh

WarAndG July 14, 2010 at 9:45 am

Why did you edit out Chevy Chase’s honoring of Fred “the Dorf” Dorfman? Hug a cop. More Old Crow please.

LIZ GLOVER FUCK YEAH

Might wanna ask Trotsky’s ghost about that first.

user-of-owls July 14, 2010 at 9:54 am

Conveniently left on the cutting room floor was the footage of Wormers protesting out front.

Gusanos!
Unidos!
Jamas sera vencido!

[re=616716]ManchuCandidate[/re]: Always more Liz, obviously, but hey, our Satanic-Eyed Wonkabout Editor Arielle is pretty fetching, too. And Fruhlinger, well, oh, if only I were more homoflexible

Whatever Blows Your Skirt July 14, 2010 at 10:06 am

[re=616727]Dashboard_Buddha[/re]: Well, seeing as how I’m neither (and neither is GuyClinch for that matter) you could probably slip in without the hipsters noticing/caring.
The living here part is your prob.

Formerly Preferred July 14, 2010 at 10:29 am

Was recording prohibited at this event? Because the video looks like it was taken from inside someone’s coat.

DC Hates Me July 14, 2010 at 10:39 am

The lightbulb was actually invented several generations ago. I realize hipsters don’t like sunlight or being seen, as most of them are nocturnal cave-dwellers. Loud sounds and bright lights tend to confuse and irritate them. And steampunks prefer gas lanterns because oil fumes enhance the taste of absinthe. Vitamin D .. look into it.

Joshua Norton July 14, 2010 at 10:48 am

Needz moar sex and violence.

user-of-owls July 14, 2010 at 10:53 am

[re=616745]Mad Brahms[/re]: I think they call it “homodexterous.”

Manos: Hands of Fate July 14, 2010 at 11:04 am

I say dub this over in Arabic and tell Fox News it was pulled from a jihadist Web site.

AnnieGetYourFun July 14, 2010 at 11:09 am

Who are all these good-looking people? I just assumed that all Wonketteers were as hideous and misshapen as me.

[re=616809]Manos: Hands of Fate[/re]: That’s actually a really good idea.

OzoneTom July 14, 2010 at 11:19 am

[re=616739]user-of-owls[/re]: Or ice-axes even.

blogslut July 14, 2010 at 11:24 am

Sniff. That was beautiful.

nappyduggs July 14, 2010 at 11:26 am

Do they show this on the Gitmo channel?

Also, uhhh, I was looking for wedding bands on a couple or three of those fellas and didn’t see any. So- Mr. Ice Guys, I have a sub-zero full of freezie pops that I need moved to my kids’ daddy’s house. Doing anything this weekend?

The Icemen Shall Cometh, if you know what I mean.

GuyClinch July 14, 2010 at 11:38 am

[re=616748]Whatever Blows Your Skirt[/re]: Yes, seeing as how I look to be 400 lbs in that video. Jesus.

Cicada July 14, 2010 at 12:11 pm

[re=616851]GuyClinch[/re]: I had a red drunkface. Fleeting internet “fame” can be so cruel and damaging to the self esteem.

GuyClinch July 14, 2010 at 12:19 pm

[re=616894]Cicada[/re]: Oh, that was you?

Lazy Media July 14, 2010 at 12:30 pm

Change America into what? Or did you mean, like, change America’s diaper?

knoxtheharpy July 14, 2010 at 12:40 pm

To the young child in that video who I assume is Arielle Fleisher: it is not pronounced Nev-odd-dah. It is pronounced with a short “a,” Nev-add-a. We rednecks get touchy about that.

Extemporanus July 14, 2010 at 1:08 pm

Nothing says “Lasting Historical Importance” like a documentary iMovie created on a Mac Pro ice carving by drunk urban lumberjacks using the “To Catch a Ken Burns Predator Effect”.

Potater July 14, 2010 at 1:15 pm

Who are the handsome looking ice-fetchers?

And has Ken always been so svelte and compact?

Cicada July 14, 2010 at 1:21 pm

[re=616923]knoxtheharpy[/re]: Then you shouldn’t use the Spanish word for “snowfall” (pronounced nev-odd-dah)as your state name. Given the rather large Latino population in Nevada, I’m surprised at how touchy the residents of the state are about the pronunciation. Hell, in California we twice elected a governor who pronounced our state name as Kawl-ee-fon-ya.

DustBowlBlues July 14, 2010 at 1:29 pm

[re=616814]AnnieGetYourFun[/re]: [re=616809]Manos: Hands of Fate[/re]: Good idea? How about awesome idea?

Fuck satellite internet providers. After the afternoon I spent trying to get the thing fixed, I can’t ever visit India because I’m hated all over the fucking country. I can’t even download all this shit. Fuck country living.

Whatever Blows Your Skirt July 14, 2010 at 1:31 pm

[re=616851]GuyClinch[/re]: Well then do as I and avoid watching in the first place.

Luckily I’m sure IF I showed it was cut to protect the innocent from the horror of course.

You on the other hand made it so, “yer purdy and i ain’t.” Feel better now?

DustBowlBlues July 14, 2010 at 1:32 pm

[re=616923]knoxtheharpy[/re]: Why so touchy, Nevada? Do you know the vile things that people call Oklahoma?

knoxtheharpy July 14, 2010 at 2:16 pm

[re=616994]Cicada[/re]: “Given the rather large Latino population in Nevada, I’m surprised at how touchy the residents of the state are about the pronunciation.”

Hahahahahaha. This is priceless in its unintentional irony.

If you reflect on the conditions that made it possible for Sharron Angle to be the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, that will tell you what you need to know about why mispronunciation is both shibboleth and point of pride for Nevadans.

JeffBarea July 14, 2010 at 2:22 pm

Worst episode of Real Housewives of D.C. evAR!

Crankenstank July 14, 2010 at 2:47 pm

The Weeping Eagles used to be so great, before they sold out and went all ‘mersh and everything. We at least have our memories of a finer place and time, where the awards really meant something more than money.

Hedley Lamar July 14, 2010 at 2:53 pm

So that’s what video shot and edited on the iPhone looks like!

Cicada July 14, 2010 at 2:55 pm

[re=617093]knoxtheharpy[/re]: Point taken.

Bearbloke July 14, 2010 at 6:52 pm

[re=616716]ManchuCandidate[/re]: [re=616800]Joshua Norton[/re]: TITS OR GTFO!!!

Vulpes82 July 14, 2010 at 11:00 pm

But, but, but I wanted to watch the panel! We barely got to hear our Ginger Traitor speak! Did he bring his cat? So many questions!

BarackMyWorld July 15, 2010 at 12:17 am

I demand everyone’s hand in marriage.

Continuum July 16, 2010 at 9:03 am

Just yet another step toward the Palin family march to the Jerry Springer Show.

Nyarlathotep July 16, 2010 at 3:53 pm

Oh, honestly….

Look, we all know Ken wants to preserve himself for “future generations,” whatever that means, but this was totally unacceptable. There’s no reason he needed to freeze that much of his semen, and there’s even less reason for him to try and parade it around in public at an awards ceremony.

There’s a time and place for everything Ken, but this wasn’t it.
