Don't think for me. Don't assume what I want to hear or read. Give me facts. Give me reasons. But not yours. Bring me debate. Enlighten me. Today, accountability is masked behind anonymity; bylines are hidden by zeros and ones. Everyone publishes; everyone is "in the know." Ethics are non-existent. Speculation is king. The truth is masked and a hostage. Empowered by our minds, WE ARE THE FREAKSPEAKERS!

FYI, not sure about other's but I can't get any of your YouTube video's to work. I'll go to YT directly to check it out.
I would rather watch the Head On commercials for 24 hours straight than watch the awkward, trying-to-pretend-we-are-flirting segments with Anderson and Erica. I guess some of you feel they behave like brother and sister. Either way, it is awkward.

Very strange, all the clips work for me just fine. You can go to freakspeaker channel to see all the clips.
@all
Check out our Image of the day -- it's a must-see, Michael Ware is doing an amazing job exposing what is really going on in Iraq. If you missed it yesterday, watch it.

Relax, it's supposed to be a light moment(not flirting, not brother and sister) just a fun moment.
Agree. Think about how much "doom and gloom" the news is. There has to be a little bit of fun in there somewhere.
Thanks Ivy, I got them working. This computer I'm using is a loner & not too swift!
Perez Hilton is on the loose again today...
Now we know what Anderson missed by not going to China -- going to the restaurant "the penis emporium". Charlie Moore has a new post, I love when he blogs!
Anderson and Erica annoy me, too. Just trying a little too hard to be cute. Sometimes Anderson can only say Wow. I don't think anyone has to think twice about what he meant by his comment to Erica about her husband being jealous. Her look was one of total surprise. I have a feeling she couldn't believe that he hinted at being "you know what" on national t.v.
@anon 7:31
you're reading into his banter with Erica way too much. He's comments are often self-depreciating, and it was nothing more than that.
@ivy I agree, I think what he meant by "clearly he has nothing to worry about" is that there was no way Erica would leave her husband for him. Who knows, half the time they're just winging and not thinking about what they're saying, anyway. I admit, the other meaning crossed my mind, too! Though I'm sure middle America didn't pick up on it.
Thanks for the heads up on Charlie, I'll check it out.
I have the same feelings about Erica and Anderson at anon 7:31. All the writing and speaking Anderson does, and all he can think of to say is wow. It is all too fake.
Another Ann? Is this a surprise? I have to admit that Pepper Ann is one "Ann" I'm more likely to be able to tolerate. And she's got expensive taste too!
As far as the "Anderson" Diaper Bag goes? Whether a coincidence or not, I thought it was funny. I can't help but wonder how many hits Pottery Barn Kids will get now that this bag is associated with Anderson....
And LK dancing in a bikini? That segment was a hoot....but it was missing one thing...the suspenders!
I just realized, thanks to Ivy, that Dancing Larry did have suspenders on...guess I didn't notice because of all the shaking cleavage....LOL...I stand corrected...
Sigh. Just like so many network bits these days, that Pottery Barn shtick was at least a year old. Erica must have been looking through the clearance pages.
People take Anderson and Erica's segments WAY too seriously. It's all meaningless. He's too big of an anchor to do those news breaks now I suppose, but he used to do them and he was remarkably funny and wry all by himself. I miss that a lot.
I read a comment on All Things Anderson that Anderson's comment on Thursday about all over the internet, though I haven't seen any of it.
Obviously nothing is going on between them but some on air banter. Seems you can't say anything without it being all over the place.
It actually is all over the net if you do an Anderson Cooper blog search, and the clip has gotten 26,000 hits on YouTube. The response about the clip is mixed, some think he was hinting at being gay and some think it was just an innocent exchange.
Saw a couple of comments that people have thought they were more than friends with their flirtatious exchanges.
The only time I've seen Anderson behaving in a seemingly "flirtatious" manner was when he was doing an interview with a very handsome guy on 360. Anderson seemed very charmed and excited by this person or at least that's how it appeared to me at the time. He's very professional otherwise and whatever he does with Erica is all in fun, since she's spoken for and he might be also, amongst other things.
It was just banter and that's it. Perez Hilton ran away with it. I have to be honest and say the only person that I've seen him even remotely flirting with (and I hate to even use the word flirt) is Jeff Corwin....
anon 9:57 and 4:06: seems people have different ideas of flirting and who he may have done it with. Both Erica and Jeff Corwin are spoken for so why would it stop him from flirting with Erica and not Jeff? If that is in fact what he was doing.
Flirting is just innocent fun. ANONS, it is time to brush up on the fun of flirting.
You may see a hot guy at the grocery store or the gas station and just smile and check them out. I flirted last week with a total hot college student who works at 7-11. He flirts with everyone that comes in the store! Milk, bread, ice cream, gas and a hey baby your looking hot today with a beautiful smile!
My best friend at work is a guy. He is totally hot and cute and sexy. We flirt and smile. I like him as a person and he likes me a person. He tells me I look nice and pretty. I tell him he looks hot. On Friday night when he changes from his suit to jeans and a t-shirt for a date and cocktails, I inspect him from head to toe. I give a big flirt compliment and send him out to the world in confidence knowing he is smart, sexy and hot. I also know we respect each other and like to have fun together.
Flirting does NOT mean you are going to bed with a person to have multiple sexual encounters. It is just a means of expression and says hey, your cute. I like your smile and your body language.
Anderson is a grown man. Trust me, if he wanted to flirt with me, I would be jumping all over the flirting thing. I would have a few fun things to say to him too knowing that we were NOT going to have a sexual encounter together.
Erica is a safe flirt. She is smart and pretty and knows where she is going. Home to her son and husband at night!
As far as Corwin goes, he is top of his game too. So they have some on-air chemistry sometimes. I don't think I have ever seen Anderson flirt with any man on television except maybe Philippe Cousteau. Who wouldn't flirt with Philippe?
As far as Anderson is concerned IMHO he is so hot he could date any man or woman he wanted. Let's hope he is doing just that and having some fun!
To the ANONS, brush up on your flirting because you all are missing alot of innocent fun!
From Wikipedia and flirting "in other situations, it may be done simply for immediate entertainment, with no intention of developing any further relationship."
Here's the link.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Flirting
For those of you who really respect Anderson, say a little pray for him and Mrs. Cooper today. It is the 19th year anniversary of his brother's suicide.
Suicide is a loss that know one fully understands. It is a sadness and a hole in your heart and your life.
Maybe a little prayer is in order for all people who have suffered a loss so deep. Maybe the prayer should be for survival and living life every day to the fullest.
He doesn't flirt with Erica. It's just silly talk.
