HLN's segment, 'The Daily Share' did a story yesterday about Edward Snowden joining Twitter.  He's the guy who leaked a bunch of top secret information and ran away to Russia. They interviewed a guy named Jon Hendren over Skype, who was supposed to be a Snowden supporter.

But in a funny turn of events, it turned out he wasn't a supporter at all.  He just runs a Twitter page called @fart.  And instead of talking about Edward Snowden, he talked about Edward Scissorhands the whole time. Check it out:

The craziest part is the reporter didn't even seem to notice what he was saying, even when he said the name Edward Scissorhands.  Apparently the screening process they have for guests on Headline News is pretty pathetic.

Jon did an interview with Esquire.com after the video started going viral yesterday, and said someone at Headline News got in touch with him two nights ago, and asked if he'd want to do an interview about Snowden the next day. That's right they call HIM!

So he didn't really pull this epic stunt, he just said yes to the interview.  He also has no idea why they wanted to interview him.  He's posted a few tweets supporting Snowden, but the last one was two years ago.
