Okay, CNN, we get it that the UFC event at the WH is fun with a capital F!

The reporter is on the scene at the "fan fest" event and is just beside himself. He must have used the word fun dozens of times. He also kept repeating that there is something for everyone. Although he is red faced in the heat, and admitted that it is ninety degrees, he seemed ecstatic and much more pumped than the actual fans who were standing in line with neutral expressions.

I guess CNN is looking to please the new owners, but c'mon.

but I have to say that I was embarrassed for Brian Todd. He's usually a decent reporter and he just seemed desperate to convey how FUN it was. Weird.
