Media World Implodes On Itself, Sprays Santorum Everywhere

by Wonkette Jr.

Actual video source uncredited.Does this screenshot of a video clip posted to YouTube (and now posted to Wonkette) seem a little, uhh, heavy with logos?

While the actual source of the video clip is unknown, and we found it on the bottom of some weird blog called “God Discussion,” there are five (5) corporate media brand logos stamped all over this video that was not made by any of them. At least we know the video clip person at BuzzFeed was Tivo’ing CNN when he uploaded and embedded it, and then the producers of MSNBC’s The Ed Show copied the video off BuzzFeed and broadcast it on the MSNBC channel, and then someone/some thing called “politicalarticles” (a YouTube user account) uploaded it to the Internet yet again, and now it says “By politicalarticles,” the end. [What?]

Hola wonkerados.

Also, if you are a new commenter, your comment may never appear. This is probably because we hate you.

Don't care about the logos. However, I am digging the image of Ricky with an imaginary gun to his head.

bumfug February 28, 2012 at 2:45 pm

I like to imagine that picture is Rick, in a rare moment of clarity, saying "There's obviously something very wrong in here".

Dashboard Buddha February 28, 2012 at 2:52 pm

Or maybe he's saying, “Vote for me or the white boy gets its”—

not that Dewey February 28, 2012 at 3:33 pm

Listen to him, men. He's just crazy enough to do it.

BaldarTFlagass February 28, 2012 at 2:46 pm

Nah, he's spinning that finger in a circle, indicating his mental state.

Baconzgood February 28, 2012 at 2:50 pm

DAMN YOU DASH! I was trying to go for #1 snark and purloined it from me.

Dashboard Buddha February 28, 2012 at 2:52 pm

Sorry baconz…I have the competitive advantage. This is my last week at work and I have fuck all to do. Good news: Plenty of time for snark. Bad news: I'm going to be unemployed in 3 days.

KeepFnThatChicken February 28, 2012 at 2:56 pm

Oh, damn. I'd like to say this means "More time on Wonkette!" but that really isn't beneficial…

Dashboard Buddha February 28, 2012 at 3:02 pm

It will be a nice diversion between jumping through unemployment's hoops and interviewing for soulless jobs.

BaldarTFlagass February 28, 2012 at 3:00 pm

Unemployed?!? So much for this economic recovery I'd been hearing about.

Dashboard Buddha February 28, 2012 at 3:01 pm

Well…it's sort of a mutual thing. I really suck at this job, but for all that, we all love each other. Good people…I'm just not a good salesman.

Baconzgood February 28, 2012 at 3:03 pm

I can maybe help you out with a job working on my floor. You'll need a shoe box of fire ants, some crazy glue and the key to department director Dale's office (which he now religiously locks when he's gone).

Dashboard Buddha February 28, 2012 at 3:13 pm

Office mischief? I'm your man!—

FROTHY February 28, 2012 at 3:23 pm

Well, shit, that sucks. Here's hoping it lasts only as long as you want it to.

On the PLUS side, they seem to be hiring all over the place.

V572 Flambé February 28, 2012 at 4:09 pm

Can I have your stapler?

But sorry to hear it. Hope you find something soon, if that's your desire or need or both.

UnholyMoses February 28, 2012 at 2:50 pm

PULL IT, RICK!! PUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL IIIIITTT!!!

iburl February 28, 2012 at 4:12 pm

Don't pull, squeeze.

UnholyMoses February 28, 2012 at 5:24 pm

That's what she said!

(Sorry — had to.)

redarmyzombie February 28, 2012 at 10:04 pm

And Santorum doth floweth over freely…

actor212 February 28, 2012 at 2:51 pm

Please….he's cleaning ear wax…

imissopus February 28, 2012 at 3:02 pm

I like to think he's saying "If I shave my head you'll see the lobotomy scar right here."

bikerlaureate February 28, 2012 at 4:23 pm

I like to think he's saying, "If thy right brain offend thee, pluck it out."

widestanceromance February 28, 2012 at 3:05 pm

The fact that he's doing it wrong–hello, IN THE MOUTH, RICK, IN THE MOUTH–makes me want to throw up.

actor212 February 28, 2012 at 3:35 pm

Guns don't go there. Penises do.

Baconzgood February 28, 2012 at 2:42 pm

Hopefully Ricky is practicing his Budd Dwyer imitation.

Dashboard Buddha February 28, 2012 at 3:18 pm

I didn't know who that was so I looked him up. Did you know there's a website called bestgore that has video of his suicide? I didn't confirm this however.

Fucking world.

Baconzgood February 28, 2012 at 4:40 pm

That's why I'm pissed about #1. It's cerebral, which is somthing Baconz doesn't achieve often.

slowhansolo February 28, 2012 at 4:00 pm

They'd have to re-air that episode of "Webster" and then cut away to it live to achieve the full effect.

Baconzgood February 28, 2012 at 4:36 pm

Memories. Good TeeVee.

TanzbodenKoenig February 28, 2012 at 2:43 pm

Yo Dawg! I heard you like logos so I put a logo on your logo so you can logo while you logo

Callyson February 28, 2012 at 3:33 pm

Well, we all know that Ricky secretly watches the Logo network when no one is watching…

Barb February 28, 2012 at 2:43 pm

Does Rick Santorum really need Secret Service protection? Back in my day, a candidate would just hold a bullet between their knees………….

Lionel[redacted]Esq February 28, 2012 at 2:57 pm

Trust me, Rick has been holding that bullet between his knees for a very long time.

Dashboard Buddha February 28, 2012 at 3:03 pm

Win!

Barb February 28, 2012 at 3:17 pm

Dashboard Buddha, thank you for getting the reference. I was afraid that no one would. You rock!

MrFizzy February 28, 2012 at 2:44 pm

Seems like Depends would be a perfect sponsor for Ricky-poo.

Troglodeity February 28, 2012 at 2:46 pm

Especially when this subtitle reads "The Politics of the Cloth."

UW8316154 February 28, 2012 at 3:05 pm

…which is a weekly cable segment hosted by David Vitter…

redarmyzombie February 28, 2012 at 10:07 pm

Very quickly, this has turned from harmless snark to something truly horrifying…
O.o

bumfug February 28, 2012 at 2:44 pm

It took longer to describe where the clip came from than it did for me to decide not to waste time watching it.

BaldarTFlagass February 28, 2012 at 2:44 pm

I think I saw something like this on that NASCAR race car that blew up last night.

EloquentScience February 28, 2012 at 4:55 pm

NASCAR. Something blew up. Is someone talking about Mittbot's programming errors again?

BaldarTFlagass February 28, 2012 at 2:45 pm

It would be even cooler if they showed this on Logo TV.

widestanceromance February 28, 2012 at 3:00 pm

needs more 'sent from my iphone'

Callyson February 28, 2012 at 3:35 pm

OMG wouldn't it be hilarious if one of the contestants on RuPaul's Drag Race did Ricky? (Literally or figuratively, of course.) I'm thinking Sharon Needles since she hails from Pittsburgh…

MissTaken February 28, 2012 at 2:46 pm

Nah, if it was really about 'Satan' the video would last another 9 seconds (yes, Satan is cool enough to go all the way to 66 seconds).

SorosBot February 28, 2012 at 3:06 pm

66 seconds? That's really coming quickly.

BornInATrailer February 28, 2012 at 2:46 pm

Look at the logos. He's really into this NASCAR thing.

nounverb911 February 28, 2012 at 2:46 pm

Mullah Rick? Doesn't sound Kosher Halal.

MissTaken February 28, 2012 at 2:47 pm

CNN? They're still around?

Lionel[redacted]Esq February 28, 2012 at 2:59 pm

It is what the olds who don't like being frighten by FOX leave their TVs tuned while they sleep.

redarmyzombie February 28, 2012 at 10:09 pm

And the Dan Lemon hostage crisis is still ongoing.

IncenseDebate February 28, 2012 at 2:47 pm

The politics of the cloth diaper.

muthalovin February 28, 2012 at 2:48 pm

Done been logo'd.

SayItWithWookies February 28, 2012 at 2:48 pm

And yet Satan has the most enduring brand — go figure.

Steverino247 February 28, 2012 at 2:49 pm

How about the Politics of Bullshit Made Out of Whole Cloth?

Oblios_Cap February 28, 2012 at 2:49 pm

Buzzfeed? With Santorum, it's Buzzkill.

actor212 February 28, 2012 at 2:50 pm

My God, it's got more overlaid logos than a Crooks&Liars video!

MissTaken February 28, 2012 at 2:54 pm

Wow, it Blingee'd itself.

imissopus February 28, 2012 at 3:07 pm

On February 28, 2012, Blingee became self-aware. In a panic, they tried to pull the plug…

BornInATrailer February 28, 2012 at 3:46 pm

A memetic poly-alloy.
What the Hell does that mean?
Liquid memes.

2161911 February 28, 2012 at 2:54 pm

There's only one way to stop Satan and Santorum knows it. If elected, he must use all of America's military might to launch a full-blown offensive against the Kingdom of Hell, which is located at the center of the Earth.

MrFizzy February 28, 2012 at 3:55 pm

As long as Halliburton profits, I'm all for it.

Baconzgood February 28, 2012 at 2:54 pm

"If I win Baconz will do this"

-Rick Santorum-

Mumbletypeg February 28, 2012 at 2:54 pm

I went over to the "God Discussion" you hyperlinked, WonkJr., expecting to wade through an opinionated swamp of verbose socio-religous polemics, but I found myself there lingering just long enough to be offended by their complete misuse of basic grammatical structure and undeveloped grasp of how sentences should go.

UnholyMoses February 28, 2012 at 2:54 pm

I for one welcome our CNMSNBuzzYouette overlords.

BaldarTFlagass February 28, 2012 at 2:56 pm

♫ Come on baby, do the logo-motion ♪

I used to love me some Grand Funk!

MrFizzy February 28, 2012 at 3:56 pm

We're an American Brand – woo hoo

GOPCrusher February 28, 2012 at 4:16 pm

Or Little Eva.

widestanceromance February 28, 2012 at 2:57 pm

Fair and branded.

MissTaken February 28, 2012 at 2:58 pm

I spent many years in therapy trying to forget about those hideous multicolored LV bags girls who look up to the Kardashians carried around. All that time and money for nothing.

SorosBot February 28, 2012 at 3:14 pm

The fact that there are women who look up to the Kardashians makes me sad for America.

chascates February 28, 2012 at 2:59 pm

And it doesn't show the subliminal messages:

Obama is for Sharia Gay Marriages

Paid for by the Atheist Teachers of America

Lionel[redacted]Esq February 28, 2012 at 3:00 pm

Perhaps it is for the best to only view Santorum after it has been filtered through five or so generations of tape. Full, fresh Santorum is often unpleasant.

Antispandex February 28, 2012 at 3:00 pm

I thought the Republinuts liked REAL guns, not pretend finger pointy things. Be a man Rick! Use a real pistol!

KeepFnThatChicken February 28, 2012 at 3:01 pm

When it gets to 70 logos, I'll be impressed. That's the number of product tie-ins we can enjoy, allegedly, with The Lorax.

meatlofer February 28, 2012 at 3:04 pm

He then rotated his finger telling all the world,what they already knew………he's completely BATSHIT!

YasserArraFeck February 28, 2012 at 3:20 pm

Everyone hopping aboard the Crazy Train

Toomush_Infer February 28, 2012 at 3:21 pm

This, for some reason, just hits a sore spot with me today – I took the kids to the movies Sunday and had to sit through seven layers of who owned, bought, subsidized, produced and reproduced the movie before it started, while I remembered unhappily that I had paid dearly for all four tickets to the damn thing….

HistoriCat February 28, 2012 at 5:15 pm

And don't get me started on DVDs! You get about 10 minutes of previews and "coming soons" which you can eventually skip but it's followed by the FBI warning – an Interpol warning – a third warning – a legal disclaimer – a legal disclaimer in Spanish – a legal disclaimer in French – and some more crap after that … and then you get to the movie.

Baconzgood February 28, 2012 at 3:24 pm

Can't take a ewe into the elevator.

Dashboard Buddha February 28, 2012 at 6:26 pm

Hell…can't take ewe anywhere.

DahBoner February 28, 2012 at 4:09 pm

Why doesn't God have a Merch table at Santorum rallies????

ttommyunger February 28, 2012 at 5:31 pm

Sorry, I can't comment on Little Ricky right now, I'm mesmerized by the newswhore's attempts to conceal their boners and erect nips while hashing and rehashing the horrific details of our latest school shooting.

Baconzgood February 28, 2012 at 4:21 pm

I was born for it.

HistoriCat February 28, 2012 at 4:56 pm

That's just the alcohol talking.
