The Today Show Spreads Some Christmas Cheer

Reader Luke sent me this video – it is amazing and hilarious and completely heartbreaking.

Currently on the Today Show, there’s a competition involving some BIG CHRISTMAS PRIZES. In order to win, you need to register with the show, and if you get a phone call during the program, you must answer it within five rings with the words “I wake up with Today” and then Channel Nine’s breakfast telly stars Lisa Wilkinson and Karl Stefanovic will give you the prize, and oh! Oh! What a happy day!

Not such a feel good segment if you fuck it up, however. Take this morning’s on air tears as a nice example.

We’ve been on since 5:30am, bitch! Get with the program!

Poor, poor woman. Still, Karl’s going to whack together the best damn hamper he can for you. That’s nearly as good as a prize worth $20,000?

Thanks for the tip off, Luke!

UPDATE: ARGH! It seems the video has been pulled! WHY? It’s the feel good moment of the year! I’ve still got the YouTube page open from earlier today and can still watch it, over and over, and I’m never closing that window again.

UPDATE II: All seems to be well, it was just some temporary insanity. Revel it the goodness!
