Is there anyone who hasn’t wanted to tell an annoying blowhard to shut the fuck up and been unable to because of the circumstances? Well, I guess, it’s good to be king. Last week, at a summit in Chile, King Juan Carlos of Spain told Hugo Chavez to shut up when he couldn’t keep his Crazy to himself (the video is in Spanish).

Naturally, someone has made a techno remix of the incident (which might be NSFW if anyone in your office speaks Spanish).

This protest follows on the heels of massive protests after 9/11 to stand up against discrimination against Muslim-Americans and the coming together of a similarly large group to protest the demagoguing of Latino immigration for political… Oh, wait. Yeah, that didn’t happen. Sorry. [CNN, ABC News, Wikipedia, International Herald Tribune]
