FOX News skybox in Denver flooded by sprinkler system
By SilentPatriot Monday Aug 25, 2008 12:40pm
A sprinkler system partially flooded part of the Pepsi Center Monday morning.
The Denver Fire Department, which has a crew stationed at the center all week, was able to respond quickly before 5 a.m. when the sprinkler went off.
The sprinkler was located on the club level in a skybox which had recently been renovated to host a news crew. It appears the skybox belongs to Fox.
After going off, the sprinkler released 50 to 100 gallons of water per minute and 9NEWS crews estimate it was on for around 5 minutes.
The cause of the sprinkler is under investigation but early reports indicate it was likely bumped or the heat sensor may have been affected by equipment in the room.

Don't look at me. I'm nowhere near Denver...
monkeywrenching
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of people.
FOX snooze is all wet.
Karma!
Clearly this is excellent news for John McCain
Next come the locusts. Then we go for their firstborn.
Just goes to show how much a bunch of amateurs Fox noise really are about how it really works.
Cleansing the evil spirits.
This is obviously due of the sheer amount of hot air these guys blow at all times.
Cavuto's 6 lbs hot spaghetti plate causing some issues.
must've been practicing their hotair blathering
Shit! Ummm...anyone find a wrench?
Sprinkler systems have a liberal bias.
John McCain spent five and a half years in a place where he couldn't intentionally set off a sprinkler system!
It must be the work of terrorists. They hate our our freedoms and indoor plumbing.
Did they pray for Rain?
Can methane from large quanities of BS set of sprinkers?
5 bucks says this will get more attention from the chickenhawk bloviators than the arrest of the skinheads in Denver does.
He lets rain fall on them whether they are just or unjust, or giant douchebags.

If this were a game, I would award you a teddy bear. Good one!
Heated rhetoric?
john j @ 18:
Good catch.
I forgot all about that moron.
What's the forecast for Denver on Thursday night?
john j @ 18:
lord knows, they tried.
Karma...
AHahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaa! [takes breath then...] hahahahahahaha! etc.
I think I love Pepsi right now.
Did you see the video of the marchers chanting fuck fox news??? One of them must have a cigarette lighter.
Somewhere, God is giggling. :-)
The laughs on us. We get a Disney-esque prank suitable for an afterschool special on grumpy assholes needing a lesson, and they control the world ... not a good deal
fare and ph balanced.
All that hot air from the extreme bloviating set it off-it's working PERFECTLY!
john j @ 18:
Hagee has suggested that they start building an ark.
The fundies are dancing in the streets lauding that their prayers were answered.
Fox News executives wish their aim had been better.
Is it me, or did focus on the family get the rain they asked for?
Min @ 29:
Maybe God did get even!
If God is anything like the way George Burns played him this is how he would answer the right wing Dobson prayers .....
The truth: Bill Orally was chasing Anne Coulter around butt-nekkid with a loofa. They had to spray 'em down with a fire hose.
Moments before the accident..."NEIL...put down that sterno!!"
I'm gonna theorize that this was an "inside job" or "false flag", Hannity set off those sprinklers & will be blaming it on liberal media saboteurs trying to shutdown Fox's "freedom of speech" in the tradition of that intern they sent out to harass protesters yesterday.
anyone made a hot air joke because i'm making one now
"OK...who's the moron that ordered the baked alaska?"
I think Faux did this on purpose, but they are probably pissed off because they were hoping it would have caused more damage!
Maybe the Fox News team was dirty
Don't bend over for the soap
And look out for bill o'really with a loofah.
Mick Piobr @ 37:
I doubt that. Orally only likes skinny little boys. Oh, right.....
I wonder if the water used in the sprinkler systems is "grey water" - water direct from the sewer treatment plant.
Jo @ 44:
If it wasn't then, it is now...
sounds like all that rain the nutty reichwingneocons
wanted to come down on obama actually hit its
intended karma spot........
hooray their god has smacked them down.
Good. That booth could use a washing down to drive the stink off it. Maybe the sprinklers were set off by the collective smoke coming out of the ears of Fox pundits trying to wrap their little minds around the idea of reporting the truth. I can imagine most of them passing out from an overload.
oopsies!
Mick Piobr @ 37:
I threw up in my mouth a little.
john j @ 18:
Thank you GOD for making my day.
Also the video of people saying "F**k Fox News!!!"
Haw haw haw!
Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of jacknuts!
Mick Piobr @ 37:
Couldn't happen she don't like to do fat old ugly guys and he don't like to do over the hill tranny's ......
I blame karma..
I just have one thing to say.....
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Mick Piobr @ 37:
They'd have to evacuate the convention center because of the putrid smell of damp swamp ass and feet.
krisken @ 49:
Sorry. The truth can be so ugly. You don't even want to know what Brit Hume was doing in there with a bicycle pump, a goose and Michelle Malkin.
This is no lie guys, one of my best friends works for a Denver radio station (yes, it's a Clear Channel station) where Billo, his peers and minions have set up camp in the building to cover the DNC.
My friend said that his first encounter with O'Reilly (who stands about 6'5") was yesterday when Billo passed him in a hallway, smirking like the smug jackass we all know him to be.
I suggested he make eye contact with Billo, then look at the floor and shake his head sadly.
Mick Piobr @ 56:
You watch far too much faux noise.
Clearly, the sprinkler system was triggered by their pants on fire.
Bill O took a lackey up to the box with some luffas

Fringe anti-gay religious group prays for rain at Democratic Convention

Clif @ 58:
Nuh-uh...got no teevee. It's why I'm so imaginative. Okay, sick.
Praise the Lord, my prayers have been answered!!! Now if only...
I prayed for rain... on Fox news!
Karma....
Payback for the sub-moronic shots that the Fox Noise camera dip$hits have been doing so far at the convention...
They should have never been included in the feed pool....never.
Wacko in Waco @ 63:
If my prayers had been answered it would have been lighting bolts and not water all over faux.
Spickle @ 50:
Nice clip. So, a bunch of citizens protest the loss of their country to a right wing junta - and that makes them leftists? Buncha cutewhoores.
Clif @ 58:
Come on people...it was meerly the heat created from Limpballs gi-normous ass cheeks as he waddled past.
The good lord knows what he's doing, praise Jesus!
Speaking as a former film Electrician and current rigging grip(local 80), it appears from the picture that there's a light hung awfully close to the sprinkler head. I don't know if the lights were on when this happened, but that would be my guess. There are a few ways to prevent the heat from lights triggering the sprinkler system - Move the light, and/or tape a stryofoam cup over the sprinkler head, or just use a light that emits less heat like a Kino-Flo. The most important thing is to hire Union Grips and Electricians who would probably have the experience to notice such things. Hopefully, the bonehead who hung these lights didn't screw up any other news orgs. boxes with his mistake.
The O'Reilly Factor is on TONIGHT!
*pansy ass finger swing/point thingy*
Did the LIBERAL Democrats sabotage a Fox News station during their coverage of the Democratic National Convention? Why do LIBERALS hate freedom of the press and the first amendment?
Also, in our impact segment: Are nineteen year-old girls making out solely to attract the attention of college guys? We'll get to the bottom of this.
Well, what do you know?, I DO believe in God!
Even the gods don't like Faux ...
bughunter @ 59:
Awesome. I can't believe it took until comment #59 for that explanation.
No doubt Foux Noise wil say this was the work of "far left liberals" and their ilk, who were planning sabotage anyway.
Mick Piobr @ 37:
You should be ashamed to invoke such a horrific image in our minds. How am I supposed to sleep now? *going to fetal position now*
Rusty "One House" Shackleford @ 3:
Uhhhhh.... "I am not nor have I never been a member of the Communist Party." ...Wait... what happened? :)
endanger6@70 Betcha Faux didn't use union people. See how much money it saved them? Of course they'll probably defraud their insurance now.
"heat sensor may have been affected by equipment in the room..."
or by the hot, steaming piles of bullshit produced whenever the FOX "News" crew happens to be in the room.
Speakin o' Faux noose....here's the that Griff guy from another angle...enjoy.

Duuuuuh....might help if I actually POST the damn link huh?

Go Bobby Brown! LOL
"Put your spot on the bench for a guy with a wrench!" Fox News!
Perhaps it was simply a Hot Pocket of Mass Destruction unleashed by the obviously homosexual traitor, Poppin Fresh.
Spin: Terrorist attack----code red----vote McCain for complete protection, including temp housing---into the Fox hole, quick!
Couldn't have happened to a better bunch of folks. .
earl @ 1:
Frank Zappa "Bobby Brown" quote FTW!
Maybe Focus on the Family unknowingly misdisrected in their prayer for rain in Denver...
awesome vid liberalNmoderation
Someone installed the kleig lights too close to the heat sensor. The picture shows the problem.
Karma
bateman @ 89:
Thanks :)
Just shows what a bunch of amateur hacks they have working over at Faux. Even their crews are stupid enough to put a light that emits enough heat to cook an egg right next to a fire sprinkler head. Guess they cannot find anybody that knows their ass from a hole in the ground to work for them.
I figured that Rupert or one of his minions left open the secret door to Gehenna a little too long coming back from visiting the 'big boss.'
Actually, I'm curious since Fox seems to be the primary camera feed that this means suddenly we don't get video out of the convention...
Bill O'Reilly's head exploded so naturally the sprinkler system worked... thank god no one important was inconvenienced..except maybe O'Reilly... or the clubhouse crew at Faux.
Innocent Bystander @ 90:
Yeah..I had the same problem in my apartment. But...I digress...
obviously a media false flag operation.
If you have ever worked a sporting event in a stadium with television lights, which are ungodly hot... the end of the night is what you dread most in the press box level because it gets ungodly hot. Or in this case maybe it got godly hot... who knows!
every now and then, it's refreshing to recall the meaning of the word 'schadenfreude'.
The investigation shows that the sprinkler system was triggered by the black candles used in the ceremony to summon the FOX network's dark, forbidden master, the lord of untruth, satan (FTW).
Liberal AND Proud @ 97:
Waaaaaaait one minute!
You had a kleig lights AND a heat sensor in your apt? You elitist bastard!
The first that that came to my mind as well, 'You had better be careful what you pray for'
Too bad it wasn't a Halon Fire Suppression system
liberalNmoderation @ 102:
Yeah and trust me...I wasn't makin' pop tarts or filming pet cat antics. ; 0 )
Remember the preacher who was praying for rain in Denver?
Looks to me that god has given him an answer.
edanger6 @ 72:
I'm a union member as well. I was actually wondering if CO is a right-to-work state or if maybe the geniuses at FOX thought they'd move a light without using the house (union) electricians, and paid the price.
That, or it's a (not so) subtle comment from the union ...
Liberal AND Proud @ 105:
boom chicka wow ow!
Obviously a Liberal sprinkler system...
Why do sprinklers hate America?
THIS THING SUCKS. FUCK IT WE'LL DO IT LIVE.
