It has been a wild night at CNN. First, Christine O’Donnell walked out on Piers Morgan in the middle of an interview. Then fellow anchor Anderson Cooper channeled his inner toddler when he giggled for about a minute over a poo-poo joke. The instigator was a RidicuList item about French actor Gerard Depardieu’s alleged public urination on the floor of a plane as it was getting ready for takeoff. Cooper cracked up several times while reading the commentary, oversaturated with pee-related puns, until he lost it after the line that the the airline cleaning crew “should thank their lucky stars this wasn’t DeparTwo.” (For the uninitiated, the last part of Depardieu’s name sounds like the French word “deux”, or No. 2, as in pooping.) Struggling to regain composure after the juvenile and silly joke, Cooper said, “Sorry, this has actually never happened to me. You always see this sort of thing on YouTube, and you never think it could happen to you.”

Cooper laughs like a schoolgirl. the whole segment was pathetic. Gerard maybe excentric but he is a great guy and a brilliant actor.
Because, you know, urinating on a moving plane isn’t pathetic in the slightest?
yeah it is pathetic, but I guess you did pathetic things in your life as well. like commenting here.
Too bad this “great guy” wasn’t thinking of his fellow passengers or those that would have to clean up his “eccentricities”. What’s possibly more pathetic is adoring fans who excuse bad behaviour from celebrities. If he was anyone else he would have been arrested. And rightly so.
way to go big boy. you taught me a morality lesson!
I still love Gerard!
Funny stuff. Thanks for posting.
…and apparently a first class pisser.
Gerard urinated in public. On a carpet. Of a plane. As it was taxiing for takeoff.
That in itself is absolutely ridiculous and hilarious. I don’t blame AC for cracking up about it. And I like his laugh.
ha ha ha it was purrrrrrfect;)
He is acting more and more effeminate. What the hell happened to this guy? As a journalist, he is starting to become a bit of a joke.
Jeez Janet, let the man be who he wants to be!
Sorry, didn’t realize he was supposed to report a famous French actor urinating in public as hard, breaking news. This is serious stuff.
Oh, and laughing doesn’t make a man effeminate. And even if it does, there’s nothing wrong with it. The only thing wrong is people like you.
Sorry, didn’t realize we’re in West Hollywood after dark. It may surprise you to learn that not everyone is enamored with seeing a grown man act like a woman, or in Cooper’s case, a little girl. All of Hollywood is not democratic, nor is all of it affected by being called homophobe or hater simply because it shares a different view. Isn’t that what “tolerance” is all about? Accepting any and everyone? That’s what gay people expect, but have such difficulty in reciprocating.
As a big time, right wing, flag waving, Fox News fan I’m no fan of Anderson or CNN. That being said … lay off the guy. This is just plain funny and it’s great seeing the human side of anyone’s news readers. Too many puns in too few sentences for anyone to keep a straight face. With the crew laughing behind him, he was doomed. Nice job Anderson. I might just give you a chance now …
Gerald is a tart. He should have published it for convicts.
For god’s sake don’t let him read any stories about cockfighting.
“For god’s sake don’t let him read any stories about cockfighting.”
Now that’s funny. I can’t stop giggling like a school girl.
Wow. When I worked for CNN fifteen years ago, we actually covered news. I stopped watching ten years ago, when it was dumbed down in response to FOX. Is this the material that CNN now covers? Is this what Anderson Cooper thinks is journalism? I am so, so glad that we have alternatives now (like the internet). CNN – grow up.
This is my point. A so-called journalist laughing like a little girl at the mention of the word “poo?”
The pisser is guilty, of course, but can’t Cooper at least have a little dignity? He’s acting like a complete idiot, and an effeminate one at that.
Oh, Joe. . lighten up. It was the ‘kicker’ at the end of the report.
“you see these things on youtube but dont think it will happen to you”…classic
I just love this. Humans acting human. Wonderful!
his quote was “Depar-doo” not “Departwo
Q:”Is this the material that CNN now covers”?
A: Yes. Know why? Pissing on the carpet in 1st class is “edgy”.
Um…it was for an end of show segment called “The RidicuList”, which focuses on (wait for it) ridiculous things in the news. Not exactly his lead story that night.
Credibility out the window.
You never saw Edward R. Murrow giggling like someone was tickling his bare tootsies…
Hey Anderson, I thought it was great. Thanks.
Hey Anderson, I love your “Ridiculist. I thought it was great and I think your the best in the business!
Judgers, haters and critics…. If you can’t enjoy the fun in this report, you need some booze, weed or prozac. get help
