theonion's Breaking News: Something Happening In Haiti
http://www.theonion.com/content/video/breaking_news_something_happening?utm_source=embedded_video

I loved when they flashed his picture with his birth and death years.

Recommended... watch this people!

3. Brilliant!
Been a few years since I've had enough patience to watch TV news - This nails one of the reasons why.
