CNN IS IMPLODING!!!

The current CNN situation reminded me of a scene from this hilarious cartoon “YOLO” by Michael Cusack: check out the original here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkKKTsJZ5kU

Probably a breach of copyright, but I’ll certainly take it down if Michael asks me to.

Make sure you get your memes out there! #CNNblackmail
