Snowden. Scissorhands. Really, what’s the difference?

This was comedian Jon Hendren’s mindset upon guesting Wednesday on a CNN broadcast that attempted to tackle the monumental social media addition of a one Edward Snowden — who created a Twitter account the other day.

The HLN (formerly CNN Headline News) anchor, Yasmin Vossoughian, either doesn’t realize or grasp Hendren’s allusions to the fictional Tim Burton character who was created by an old inventor who suffered a fatal heart attack before he could attach real hands to his boy-like creation — or she’s cogent of the satire, realizes it’s far more interesting and entertaining than the alternative, and muscles through it, simultaneously counting the milliseconds until it’s over.

Whatever the case, we’re glad Yasmin was there to foster this incredible two-plus minutes of television.
