Crotch?
One would think the weirdest moment for Anderson Cooper during CNN's New Year's Eve broadcast was co-host Kathy Griffin kissing his crotch on national television.
Not so, for in a New Year's Day wrap-up with Griffin on Tuesday's Anderson Cooper 360, the host actual said the "weirdest moment" of the broadcast was when Korean singer Psy and MC Hammer surprisingly dropped by

GET READY AMERICA YOU WILL BE SEEING MORE OF THIS VULGARITY IN OBAMAMERICA.
HOLLYWOOD HAS COME TO TV AND FUSED INTO THE NEWS NETWORKS.
This is not just a CNN problem either.
I left the entertainment field of work with an Emmy award, 7 nominations from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
I was watching in the late 70's as HBO came on the scene and started broadcasting R rated movies. Remember their warning that they would only air an R rated film after 8 PM.
That was over after Showtime showed up.
I began to see the competition of the then only 3 broadcast networks begin to panic as they watched their ratings falling.
I quickly realized and predicted that the networks were going to break away and start doing what HBO, CINEMAX and SHOWTIME were doing. I said back then you will start to see frontal nudity, horrific language begin to seep into the network schedules.
So, what many saw on CNN was CNN's New Years Eve "Gone" Wild... It is the product and the direct result of the time when broadcasting changed in America.
It is a Culture Shock to many people of faith but to some, the progressives, it is a welcome breakaway, albeit a distortion, of freedom of speech.
Kathy Griffin is on a basic cable channel that broadcasts her stand up comic show and this pushes the HBO envelope of vulgarity on TV... you saw it there first. Remember George Carlin's stand up, The Seven Words You Can't Say on TV.
HBO had a slogan, IT'S NOT TV, IT'S HBO ... Well now it is!
Let's go out with this... The Roast of HBO!
It's not TV, it's much more than that now! Much more... and I saw it coming a long time ago...
