This must be the power of social networks we've heard so much about.

A New Orleans Saints fan posted on Facebook that if the New Orleans Saints beat the Washington Redskins last week, people could shoot his TV.

The Saints won:

For extra credit, count the number of stereotypes in the video.

I was wondering who the audience for "Human Wrecking Balls" was, now I know.

I lost track after minute 3...
I also don't get the logic, but I hope they recycled the tv components or at least didn't shoot anything with heavy metals or toxic chemicals.

Wow, even though the sun is setting it suddenly feels warmer here in the North. Thank goodness that rednecks can't survive sub-IQ temperatures.

The comments from the liberal elite are just as telling as the video is of these people. "I hope they recycle the components", "I was wondering who the audience for "Human Wrecking Balls" was, now I know", "Even though the sun is setting it suddenly feels warmer here in the North."

Holier than thou much guys? BTW...did you all vote for Obama so he could do exactly what McCain would have done, escalate the war? Some Peace Prize he's getting, they should turn it into a hood ornament for a 4X4 for one of the Saints fans.

Oh, come on Colin. It doesn't take a liberal elitest to make fun of this video. Look at these guys, they aren't shooting a TV to show the world how sophisticated they are, or to make some greater point about media bias towards the left. Don't make this into a polarizing issue. Its just funny for everyone. You know, like a guy getting hit in the privates.

btw. I am a libertarian that believes these guys have the right to do everything in this video, and furthermore we all have the right to mock them for it.

Josh, the point I was making is the comments are so representative and typical of the MPR audience. I personnally can't stand the morons in this video any more so then the lib elite that frequent this type of site. It's ok, and the Current sure plays great music ;).
