Less and less does CNN cover anything relevant on their homepage aside from their breaking news section on the top left.
Today, in their list of links to stories was one that read "Carmen Electra Shows Troupe How to Lap Dance." Fine.
When you view the video, you learn that the troupe in question is a group of elderly ladies (and one man) who typically do tap dances in coordinating outfits. They have 60 shows a year.
I don't know whose idea it was to show this group Carmen Electra's Lap Dance DVD, but the video shows them following along with her "exercise" instructions and seemingly enjoying it. All fine.
The host of this segment, however, asked one of the ladies stupid questions in a miserable attempt at humor. "Would you perform at bar mitzvahs?" She gracefully answers the condescending questions by saying they haven't so far, but would be open to new options.
"What about bris?" the reporter asks, looking very proud of himself.
I just wanted to yell, "Oh shut the hell up!" These women are doing something that they enjoy, something that is good for them and CNN comes along making a mockery of it. F them.

I agree that video was obnoxious, especially the part where they say the old guy is "oblivious."
Our right of habeas corpus dies and CNN buries it at the bottom of the page, but making fun of old people comes at the top.
