Another thing: I was up late last night watching some more Fox News (I fear this is starting to move beyond ironic appreciation) when I stumbled upon the most golden Fox moment I've encountered thus far. Fox&Friends were having some delightfully wacky segment for thanksgiving day where they were interviewing randomns on the street about their "horror" thanksgiving day experiences (e.g. awkward in-laws), and offering inane advice delivered by their resident blonde psychologist. Everything was going along nicely until this "crazy" middle-aged woman started pacing back-and forth behind them with a HUGE "Fox Sux" sign. Back and forth she went, with the sign bobbing up and down in the background, while the Fox anchors buried their heads in the sand and the cameramen experimented with all these wacky camera angles to try and block it out. Things hotted up again when a group of people started screaming "Fox Sux", at which point a swastika randomly appeared in the background as well. At this point, some pro-Fox peeps started screaming out "WE LOVE FOX, WE LOVE FOX" in retaliation. Amid this all-mighty din, the presenters DID NOT falter. Very impressive in a scary robotic kind of way. They then moved back inside the studio and segued into a report about "thanksgiving day in Iraq as our troops continue the fight for freedom"...
