NEWS: People Who Should Be Famous: Pia Haraldsen

It's only sad because it's so short...but then he's not exactly a "Top Dawg" so he can afford to react like that...can't wait to see her interview John Kerry...she looks like she could withstand a few zaps from a taser pretty well.

Hey! I resemble that remark!

that was great

I don't really think it was that funny. She asked two stupid questions before he realized it was bogus. Granted, his reaction is a little inappropriate for a public official, but how exactly is one supposed to react when they realize they're the butt of a joke and their time is being wasted?

It's not the fact that it's inappropriate for a public official (and saying that is an understatement on its own without adding "a little" to the start of it). The point is that he over-reacted something awful.
And made threats that, would he have acted on them, would have lost him his job and might lead to jail time.

On the other hand, way to go, Oddo, for reinforcing a major stereotype: all New Yorkers need to be in anger management.

Loved the video, which was actually seen by about 600.000 people, if not more.
But Pia Haraldsen does not possess "a moxie and general sense of derring-do", nor is she a "comedienne" in any way -- she first became famous in her home country Norway, for being a glamorous jetset airhead, who wears Gucci but can´t spell it, and was hired to this satire show as a foreign correspondent, exactly because of her infinite braindeadness.

Somewhere along the way the writers came up with this interview concept, and placed one of those spy-shop wireless earbuds in her ear, so everything she says is actually fed to her by the director, who is an acclaimed writer and comedian.

Take the earbud out and she´d probably believe that african-americans aren´t american citizens. And worse.

She deserves fame just as much or as little as Paris Hilton does.

I hate dumb shit like this. I mean, the guy's reaction was over the top, but I've never found this type of thing funny at all. There really isn't much talent involved in asking people stupid questions.

I'll have to look this up. That guy has no business being in any powerful position. What an ass.

you had me up until "when the Sarah Silvermans outweigh the Margret Chos, we will be significantly closer to that magical utopia of femiladyist radness where tampons grow on trees and men exist solely for cunnilingus and foot rests, or something."

I fail to see how someone who goes out with Jimmy Kimmel is going to further any sort of femi-anything. Maybe Jimmy did his footrest act after she's done jumping up and down on the trampoline without a bra.

Pia does work for a humor show playing the hot and stupid blonde. She allso does other television shows and she seems pretty bright when doing those.

I think her next show is something like " how to become a famous persion".

Slogan of the television programme she is working for is: The only news programme that NEVER CHECK FACTS!

Norwegians are probably the most ironic people in the world. That's gotten me a lot of trouble at times. (Americans dont get a joke)
