Here is a [clip](http://perezhilton.com/2009-01-01-kathy-griffin-outs-anderson-cooper-on-cnn) from Kathy Griffin on CNN’s New Year’s Eve event… Seems some people from the street were yelling some insults up at their stage. ---

Kind of an old anti-heckler smackdown. I prefer, “I don’t go to your job and rock the slurpee machine.” It’s more likely to hit a nerve. ---

That’s not even true. One time Kathy Griffin _did_ come to my job and knock dicks out of my mouth. ---

Obviously, it was meant as a sponsorship message and not an insult- that’s the new slogan for Grandma Betsy’s Biscuit Powder. (Previous slogan: “Suck it Jesus, this award is my god now!”) ---

I get cheesed off when ANY group begins taking over a formerly mass-culture phenomenon (such as North Jersey did with the NYC [beefsteak party](http://www.nytimes.com/2008/01/30/dining/30beef.html?_r=3&oref=slogin&oref=slogin)). ---

> [@Beware\_of\_Doug](#): > > Wasn’t co-opting Halloween from anybody over the age of twelve enough, they gotta make New Year’s their thing, now, too?\* 😕 Who’s taking anything over? It was a big gay NYE party because it was hosted by a gay guy and his partner and most of the guests were gay men. Or did you think I meant that Times Square was a big gay NYE party? (It wasn’t, although I’m sure there were plenty of gay celebrants there) Frankly, you couldn’t get me to Times Square on NYE even if it WERE filled with half-naked gay men packed nuts to butts. Standing in an impossible crowd for six hours or so waiting for a damn crystal ball to drop is a little much. I’d prefer to go to the Key West drag queen drop instead… ---

I don’t know about anyone else, but for me [Perezhilton.com](http://Perezhilton.com) had banner ads with audio that made trying to watch the video impossibly annoying. [Here’s a chirp-free version.](http://poetv.com/video.php?vid=50421) ---

Oh, down on the street, you mean? I honestly thought the reference was to the CNN show itself. :smack: Serves me right for not watching it. (I can’t stand the “new” Kathy. I miss the old, non-celebrity-obsessed, “natural” Kathy.) ---
