It was a truly stellar week for videos that caused me to shout loud curse words at my computer screen, causing multiple office passers-by to poke their heads in to see if I was ok, before ultimately being bludgeoned into shocked silence and painfully enduring the rest.
In one corner, we have Bill O’Reilly’s interview of Hillary Clinton, which was (expectedly) a treasure trove of overtalking, interruptions, and palpable, mutual hatred. Given the high potential for super-viral train-wreck, though, I felt the interview actually came out close to how we could have expected.
Far more awkward and faaaaarrr more disturbing, however, was this clip of Buzz Bissinger of “Friday Night Lights” fame absolutely laying into Deadspin.com founder Will Leitch with a barrage of profane, vague anger, then watching
Bissinger and moderator Bob Costas rip on the blogosphere with frighteningly angry generalization after frighteningly angry generalization and not allowing Leitch to get a word in to defend himself. Click ahead to 15:27 remaining to expedite the crazy. (NSFW, but you do get to hear Bob Costas say “f*ckface,” so that’s pretty awesome.)
You think that Office dinner party episode was awkward? If you can make it through these two clips without yelling anything, then you are the new Gandhi.
(for some redemption, check out Will and FireJoeMorgan’s responses to the event, as well as a more thorough defense of the blogging medium than I feel like going into here, lest I bore you with five seconds of non Office-related content)
