I'm not sure how a mistake this bad happened on real TV: CNN was doing a story on the student protests in England, then set up a story about Democrats and Republicans fighting in Congress.
But instead of showing the political clip, they accidentally cut to the explosive diarrhea scene from "Dumb and Dumber".
When they cut back to correspondent Ali Velshi, he said, quote, "We didn't just put that on TV, did we?" CNN was planning to use the clip for a story about unusual treatments for digestive problems.
