Elie Wiesel is Fox News' 'Holocaust Winner'

[meegbear]

When Nobel Peace Price winner and Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel visited Fox News' dingbat morning show Fox & Friends last week, the chyron labeled him "Holocaust Winner" Elie Wiesel. Fire every intern! But congrats on the win, Elie Wiesel.

The tragicomic typo comes around 0:40; you can see the clip at the link above

1. Fire every intern indeed! /nt

2. FAUX NOISE should be broadcast from Comedy Central. At least then, the proper

perspective would be possible. They are, with one or two exceptions, the most incredible gathering of mental midgets, bimbos and bombastic idiots ever assembled under one roof.

3. Congratulations! You won the incineration and disease extravaganza!!

Unbelievable.

Several people need their asses kicked for this. Seriously.

[smirkymonkey]

4. Really? What did he win?

:sarcasm:

Idiots.

[pepperbear]

16. a set of steak knives.

[nosmokes]

5. ooh, can I win a holocaust too?

effing idiots.

6. A few seasons ago he won "Survivor: Buchenwald" on CBS

Don't any of you clowns watch TV??

7. Oh, God... Does anyone remember the episode of Larry David's

"Curb Your Enthusaiasm" in the first or second season, when his father invites his old dear friend, a holocaust (concentration camp) survivor to dinner, which included a guy named, Colby, one of the original contestants (winners?) of the tv show "Survivor".... It was so uncomfortably ludicrous, it was actually funny in a perverse way, with "Colby" arguing with the old Holocaust survivor how difficult his survival experience was.

This is what the current inanity and unbelievable stupidity reminds me of.

8. Yes that was classic.

And it was the fourth season - episode called, appropriately "The Survivor".

9. I was lead to believe there were no prizes.

I guess this type-o is better than "Holocaust Whiner".

[no_hypocrisy]

10. "Holocaust Winner????!!!"

Jesus, words fail me.

[calimary]

15. Not as bad as words fail those jerks.

"Holocaust Winner."

Good grief. And people actually watch that shit - and enjoy it. And come back for more.

:banghead:

[lostnfound]

11. Was the word "survivor" too big for their audience?

unbelievable.

[Lord Magus]

13. I would guess it was supposed to say "Holocaust survivor" and "Nobel Prize winner".

Since Wiesel is both. But some idiot conflated the two instead of switching between them.

Who knew that Glenn Beck and Sean Hannity were in charge of the Fox Spews chyron?

[Odin2005]

14. I thought the same thing.

Somebody forgot to double-check the subtitle before they aired it, idiots.

[edbermac]

12. Knowing FAUX, they probably meant HOLOCAUST WHINER.

All those Jews do is moan, moan, moan about 6 million dead...:sarcasm:
