There seems to be an inverse relationship between the performance of the DOW and the number of talking heads CNBC tries to fit on one screen. Back when the market was doing well, you’d have one commentator, maybe one guest in a split screen, nothing hardcore. These days, you see so many people on your television it’s a wonder any of them can get a word in.

Actually each person gets a word in. CNBC has a very clever method of ensuring this is so – they just have everybody say something at once, very loudly!

As Jon Stewart said, it’s the dreaded decabox: the successor to octobox.

LOLFed does not have a DVR so the limit of our coverage of the Weenus Incident was a subtle HA HA: http://lolfed.com/2008/10/21/santelli-calls-volcker-senile/
And I used to have a picture of the splitscreen Volantes! Cannot find now. Wah.
