Your Moment Of Glenn: BECK IS NOT A FROG KILLER

video
» 3 comments

In case you were taken in by Glenn Beck‘s boiling frog stunt yesterday, in which Beck threw a seemingly live frog into boiling water to prove a point about…something, don’t worry! It was a fake frog.

But not fake enough, apparently — Beck felt compelled to spend a segment on today’s show clearing up the misconception. Just for the record: it was a rubber frog, the earlier shot of him grabbing a live one had been pre-taped, the media is stupid and predictable, etc. (Says Salon’s Mike Madden: “A tip for @glennbeck if he wants me to keep watching: less talk about how the media hates him; more talk about crazy conspiracy theories.”) The best part? PETA loves Glenn Beck! They were not fooled for an instant by the stunt, in part because they know Beck to be a “kind man.” Watch the segment below.

    Phew! What a relief! For a moment there I thought he had a problem or something!

    I wonder if all the whacked out worried lefties are going to complain to all the cooking shows that throw live lobsters into boiling water.
