Joe Biden's Tampa Bay Virtual Rally Speech goes bad when extremely loud birds fly in and the live feed cuts out constantly to many glitches making the Biden Team seem about as competent as a gorilla making a birthday cake. Sad display of incompetency. Ends up talking Coronavirus, Trump, Sunglasses. No your internet isn't the issue. Your computer isn't screwed up. No this is actually the live footage that the Biden Campaign's team of bright individuals diligently and dutifully produced and broadcast to the nation via their state of the art DSL internet connection.

For 25 seconds in 1987, in the middle of WGN-TV anchor Dan Roan’s sportscast, thousands of Chicagoans’ feeds were replaced with a low analog whine and the eery image of a masked man nodding over and over as if in a state of mania. “If you’re wondering what’s happened, so am I,” Roan said to his audience once WGN regained control of the signal. What he couldn’t have known is that the rest of the world would still be wondering to this day.9:14pm CST today marks 30 years since one of the most unusual hacks in history: the Max Headroom...
