Um...I'm really not sure what to make of this video from CNN. It's not Dancing with the Stars exactly, but there is dancing and there are stars.
It shows the new Fab Four - Anderson Cooper, Wolf Blitzer, Lou Dobbs, and Larry King, with Cooper definitely the "Paul" of the group - dressed as Christmas elves (complete with funny hats, green suits, red and white stockings) and doing a bizarre dance to the tune of "Jingle Bells." OK, obviously, it's just their heads pasted on top of elf bodies. I wonder if they had to get the permission of the four anchors to do this or if it's just something CNN decided to do on their own. I can't imagine Dobbs being thrilled with it but I can see the other three laughing at it. Oh, I'd pay money to see Dobbs or Blitzer do their shows in those outfits.
You can "Elf yourself" at Office Max's elfyourself.com.

I don't know what to say. It would be one thing if this was just a funny video on Youtube, but CNN is actually promoting this. I am speechless!

CNN is usually not truthful. Viewers have probably caught on to much of their lies so they have to do something to pass the time.

This news station is in a panick. They know their viewers are leaving them by the thousands. People finally got tired of their total abandoment of objectivity when reporting news. They appear to be willing to now sacrafice their boys hoping for a return of sum of their followers. A lesson to be learned for ABC, NBC, CBS, New York Times, L.A. Times, and all the others who have reported nothing but doom and gloom and hate for the last 7 years.

You can do this to anyone online at www.elfyourself.com. This site is connected to office supply store Office Max. My goddaughter did this to me, my husband, her partner and herself. You don't need anyone's permission to do it. Just a photo of them to crop and use. However the disclaimer says once you do it, your photo belongs to Office Max and can be used for publicity. So, I doubt CNN had anything to do with this video.
