Phallic Vegetables Will be the Undoing of MSNBC

The image associated with this post is best viewed using a browser.Today on MSNBC David Shuster and Tamron Hall did a story on the "longest cucumber in the world," which was a bad idea right from the start.

The two had barely launched into the story when the giggles began, with Shuster at one point just giving up and burying his face in his hands. Take note Fox News—If you want to destroy MSNBC, and we know that you do, just plant a producer at the network and have him or her force the anchors to do stories regularly about oblong vegetables. The place will just come apart at the seams.

Julia Allison thinks she has something to prove, Zillow CEO Rich Barton thinks he personally brought down AT&T, and MSNBC anchor Tamron Hall think she's a neutral vessel for news. Other delusions of the Twitterati:

Internet microcelebrity Julia Allison gazed into the abyss.

Rich Barton, CEO of real-estate startup Zillow, let his iPhone app go to his head.

VH1 pop-culture commentator John Aboud sartorialized.

New Yorker writer Susan Orlean finally turned into a crazy cat lady, as we'd all kind of expected.

MSNBC anchor Tamron Hall feigned objectivity.

Littlest Entrepreneur Tanner Leuellen Gives Us Hope for Future

CNN anchorlady Tamron Hall just goes bonkers in this clip of 8-year-old businesskid Tanner Leuellen, who patrolled the halls of a Chicago trade show looking for a job as "apprentice creator."

And who can blame her? The entire business world has been revealed as hopelessly corrupt, so why not write our hopes on the blank slate of a child? He's like Alex from Family Ties, but even cutuer!

Leuellen is promising, too, in his aspirations of actually doing something productive with his life. Look at his peers' career dreams: becoming the next Bill O'Reilly, a conservative talking head, or a home-schooled right-wing book author.
