What Really Was Going on With John McCain's Background Screen?

POSTED BY: Dennis DiClaudio

If you're one of the 38.9 million people who forgot to turn your televisions off after the Giants-Redskins game on Thursday, then you probably found yourself captivated by the calming white noise that was John McCain's acceptance speech.

But, here's a little moment you might have missed. It seems to be some kind of glitch with the video projection behind McCain's head. I myself didn't catch it the first time around (although, I will admit that I was drifting in and out of sleep).

Pay very close attention to the screen at about 11 seconds in...

Funny. I feel like I should have noticed a thing like that.

  1. I AM SINCERLY WORRIED FOR THE DESTINY OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE...UNTIL TODAY THERE WERE NO CLEAR FACTS ON JFK'S MURDER,ALL WE KNOW FOR SURE IS THAT IT WAS A PLOT...BUT SO AS THE 9/11 EVENTS,WICH LEFT A CLEAR POSSIBILITY THAT TO DOMINATE A WHOLE NATION AND CONTAMINATE WITH FEAR THE WHOLE WORLD,KILLING A FEW IS SUFFICIENT TO JUSTIFY THE WHITE ''MISSION'' OF THE GREY SHADOWS,A POWER WICH IS BEHIND PEOPLE LIKE MC-''CAIN'' AND PALE SARAH....VERY VERY THREATENING TO HUMAN EXISTENCE....

  4. LOL Was that actually from the acceptance speech? That's great. I'm not a fan of Palin and I live in Alaska. I'd be more than happy to get her out of this state, but I'll be damned if I'll vote to get her in Washington.

  5. I wanna see, I wanna see!!! What was it?? I can completely re-watch his speech if I have to but, as I am sure you would all understand, I would rather watch paint dry (Colbert assures it is more interesting).

  6. "We're sorry, this video is no longer available." Boy those fascists know how to nip an embarrassment in the bud, eh?

  8. This is one of those "What was he THINKING?!" moments for John McCain and the GOP.

  9. What a great way to re-hash that awesome clip. Nice jobe, guys! :o) (And they say you all don't do anything but hit the bong all day...)

  10. so very cool, but probably the only other time I'd actually listen to Rick (gh)Astley is when Brian the Dog does him on Family Guy.
    I'm looking forward to many more greenscreen remixes..., especially from the Colbert Nation.
