This little ditty is a remix of the video that surfaced Monday, in which O'Reilly has a meltdown on "Inside Edition." The original O'Reilly video sparked a bit of a to-do because CBS had YouTube remove it from their site, leaving many blogs with dead links. I myself ended up with an error message to the effect of: "This video is no longer available due to copyright claim by CBS Broadcasting, Inc."

CBS does have a copyright claim because they own King World Productions (now CBS Distribution), which created "Inside Edition" originally. Of course, the more CBS intervened, the more the video spread. As you can see on this YouTube search, the video is now all over the place. So was CBS's copyright enforcement bullshit from the start? Didn't they realize this video was so juicy that determined bloggers would circumvent copyright restrictions? Or was CBS under pressure from O'Reilly or FOX?

Now that the O'Reilly video is out there, keep spreading it. You can also download the remixed song for free. And, for more hilarity, check out Colbert's take on all of this.

Very creative. 10/10.

This video is some mash-up. The Colbert Report video does have it all, about 4:20 minutes in. Cheers! :) [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] O'Reilly [Report this comment] Posted by: sunlakedude on May 14, 2008 4:06 PM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] The actual video is at YouTube. Just follow the link from this story. The video shows clearly how O'Reilly cannot control his temper and sick he really is.

[Report this comment] Posted by: chuckjs on May 15, 2008 4:46 AM Current rating: 5 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] if good ol' Billy will pull a David Feith and blame it all on us for watching him. I bet the backlash STING's more than the song he was to introduce. But what I can't understand most is why someone like Bill, who publically humiliates himself on semi-national TV almost every day, would purposefully get up each and every day and do it to himself again. Kind of sounds like sadism mixed with a little masochism to me. Or maybe a bit like Larry Craig. I hate gays but don't tell my boyfriend. I generally don't consider anyone stupid, but Bill O stands right up there with the Bush Adminauseum for winning the case to prove me wrong. So I guess I will relent and admit that some people are just stupid, self-defeating morons who like to hear themselves talk.

Posted by: Lauren The original video [Report this comment] Posted by: do on May 15, 2008 10:15 AM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] was GREAT! The remix was just dumb. I'm a realist though, and don't care for jumbled up video garbage, as I believe (in this case especially), it clouded the issue of what a messed-up person Billy Boy really is, which was INCREDIBLY obvious in the original. There's no way the original can be denied. The man is a freakin' sicko and needs massive therapy for anger management and delusional thinking. Too bad his anger and delusions are the very things that sell his show! He needs therapy, and so do all of his supporters! Maybe there's a good group rate for them out there somewhere. It's amazing how this angry freakin' idiot can rake in millions of dollars, just for being an angry freakin' idiot! Amerika must be so proud!
