Frances Martel, Mediaite: CNN anchor Fredricka Whitfield got a bit of an unwelcome surprise this evening as an interview with who she thought was Gregory Porter, an American student recently arrested and released in Cairo, went awry. Porter described the fear of being arrested in a crowd in Tahrir Square, the happiness of hearing his mother’s voice after his first phone call… and then thanked “the North Shore Animal League and Baba Booey’s monkey nuts.”

I used to think Howard Stern fans were a-holes. Now I think they are cultural guerilla heroes.

I think I am officially old when I read something like this and wonder; “Why is this funny?”

It was good to see CNN get punked. But, as for the videos in the sidebar; I have to admit I enjoyed Dennis Miller giving it to Jay Leno a bit more.

I didn't find it particularly funny either, until I remembered that CNN's slogan is "The Most Trusted Name in News". Then I laughed.

CNN= Comic News Network (not to be taken seriously)

Baba Booey’s monkey nuts???

Is that a special term to Stern fans or just a term we should all understand?

[VicVega]

It’s a nickname for Howard’s executive producer, Gary Dell’Abate. He has some big teeth. Called him baba booey for as long as I can remember. He looks like a monkey with big teeth.

I found it funny as hell! Did they release him because he and his friends danced, do the ba ba booeey.

Famous Ba Ba Booey songs

Gee. Good thing CNN does lots of real professional-type research to fill in the background on stories it brings to its precious highly-credibles airwaves, or cable-waves, or whatever.

Not like those bloggers and forum-posters, who don't vet the stories they publish, and therefore run a risk that they might mislead the public.

Howard Stern fan! This is for you:

Better to be wanted by the police than not wanted at all

FLOL ! Serves CNN right ! Kind of weird seeing the video is one of the arrested student’s Indiana driver’s license !
