BBC News at 10 broke down last night and viewers were treated to a stream of bizarre breaking news graphics interspersed with Huw Edwards looking bemused. Eventually the sound cut and we were treated to four minutes of Huw playing with his mouse, scribbling on some paper and occasionally looking at the camera.

ive been playing with magnuts tying to change the wold as we know it

I know this thread is best when it's covering older events that are hard to believe, but this recent news is too stupid not to share. Both of these things are ridiculous:

The President tweeted out a gif made by reddit user, Han AssholeSolo, that has the CNN logo pasted onto Vince McMahon during Trump's wrestling match with McMahon.

and

CNN threatened to doxx the reddit user that made a silly gif of Trump wrestling against the network.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/04/politics/kfile-reddit-user-trump-tweet/

quote:

KFile identified the man behind "HanA**holeSolo." Using identifying information that "HanA**holeSolo" posted on Reddit, KFile was able to determine key biographical details, to find the man's name using a Facebook search and ultimately corroborate details he had made available on Reddit.

CNN is not publishing "HanA**holeSolo's" name because he is a private citizen who has issued an extensive statement of apology, showed his remorse by saying he has taken down all his offending posts, and because he said he is not going to repeat this ugly behavior on social media again. In addition, he said his statement could serve as an example to others not to do the same.

CNN reserves the right to publish his identity should any of that change.

It's getting harder and harder to distinguish reality from parody.

Here's a bonus:

On an episode of Monday Night RAW, Vince McMahon was "blown up" as part of a wrestling storyline. Lots of people, including Donald Trump, thought that Vince had actually been blown up. Bunch of rubes.

And then Chris Benoit killed himself and Vince came on air, breaking kayfabe, and paid tribute to him. The next day it came out that Benoit had gone crazy and killed his wife and son by choking them out using his finishing move. WWE spent the next few months erasing Benoit's existence from their company.

Turns out when you pay people to constantly ram their head into things and take pills to get rid of the pain, you can actually go crazy and be out of touch with reality.

But Reagan was involved with politics for a long time and served as governor of California, so it was a gradual thing. Like if Al Franken becomes president in 2020, none of us are gonna be shocked and awed that the goofy Stuart Smalley guy is suddenly president.

I thought he just shot or stabbed them or something, I didn't know he actually put them in the Crossface. Wonder if he went for the audience pop before going in for the finisher.

Yeah the story just got weirder and creepier by the hour. Most awkwardly on the night it happened, as it initially wasn't considered a murder-suicide, but then that news came out -- about halfway into a pseudo-live tribute show WWE was doing because they had 3 hours of TV time to fill. You can pinpoint the moment that the wrestlers start becoming more stilted in their "tribute" speeches and dancing around saying anything unambiguously positive about him.

I don't know much about wrestling but saw this in the sidebar. Chavo Guerrero talking about phone calls he most likely had with Benoit after he had killed his family. There is really dumb horror music playing in the background but it's still eerie.
