Stop! Our aching sides!

Yes. Yes it did. Piers Morgan had the noted security expert, “comedian” Russell Brand, weigh in on the NSA scandal on Friday night.
LOL @CNN having Russell Brand on talking about Guns in America and the NSA scandal with Piers Morgan.

Piers Morgan is interviewing Russell Brand. That must be a little bit of what hell is like.

Heh. Well, now we know at least.
The mockery after the show was side-splitting and Twitter users are still gasping for breath.
@piersmorgan gets penetrating insights from Russell Brand on NSA debate. Expecting Derrick the actor from @sternshow next.

Has CNN interviewed Russell Brand about Kim Kardashian's baby yet?

Yes, CNN, Russell Brand is the first person whose insight America seeks on the NSA scandal.

LOL! RT @WCL_Shawn: "Russell Brand on CNN really changed my opinion on the whole NSA thing," said no one.

@JJ_McDubie Brand is a National Security expert. Comedians know their shit. E.g. Carrot Top was on CNN today commenting on US fiscal policy.

Beautiful.
This Twitter user has an exit question for CNN producers:
Hahaha, #CNN puts Russell Brand on for commentary on #NSA. Do news producers even admit on their resumes they used work there?

Zing!
“Real journalists,” people!
