I find it very amusing how much people are getting worked up over this. CNN had a front page article about it this morning

Really? A writer delivering some edgy jokes is what qualifies as news now? In the words of Mr. Shatner. Get a life!

Better than any Oscars host I've ever seen. Good for him.

*cinema

Should probably add * cult and * lies, too. The Lincoln joke made me wonder if there was a teleprompter for each seat or if it was just an old school "applause" sign to let the audience know when and how to react.

Adding video to channels (Cinema) - requested by jonny.

Moving this video to pumkinandstorm's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

CNN.com posts anything on their site to get attention. They've become on par with the annoying facebook friend that posts anything and everything to get attention. Recently their front page article was focused on yahoo's new work policy and why its supposedly good/bad. Pulling up some of their "featured" stories include the following:

16 year old model wearing "blackface"
Dog trained to do house chores
A video about a reporter saying "it sucks here"
3 videos about the latest YT fad "harlem shake" with its own subsection
"Why we love Jennifer Lawrence"
New twist for teen who flipped off judge
Teen beauty queen resigns over porn flap

Some of this stuff is great if your bored or on the sift, but newsworthy it is not.

And for a more direct answer to what you were saying, yeah thats all entertainment news right there, "OMG, Seth Mc.... said so and so, how does the other party react? YOU DONT KNOW!?!?! Well shit, make something up that sounds profound and post it". Its like a social gathering, except the viewers don't actually socialize with the involved parties.

Worst jokes? Should be best jokes - they were pretty funny.

I laughed at nearly all of those.
