Anderson Cooper Likes Flin Flon
From NY Post:
CNN's Anderson Cooper has the coolest "bump" music in cable news, and he knows it. When PAGE SIX mentioned that '70s art-rock band Television's "Marquee Moon" played as Cooper cut to a commercial earlier that day, he admitted that he and his staff take pride in their "bump" picks. "Our theme song is by a punk band from Boston called Flin Flon," he said. "We try to use different bump music every week. We play 'Radio Clash' by the Clash a lot. I have much cooler people than me helping pick the songs, but I help. We just interviewed Bono and he seemed to like it."

I liked Anderson Cooper better back in the Channel 1 days, when they would send his ass off to Africa hoping he would get killed.
Seems to me that Cooper is a guy who just can not get over how hip he thinks he is. With his smarmy little jokes, he thinks he is a "Real News" version of Jon Stewart. Except without all that comedic talent. Seriously, I don't need or want hipsters delivering the news. For me, a hipster is someone who obsesses over things that are ephemeral and not particularly important - the very opposite of what I want in a journalist.

I wonder if he has a big unit?
Score = 0
Here's the fantasy song-list for his show (if they did play them in reality), see if any of you like this:
This Is Our Sound- Ladytron
Partir Ou Mourir and Exakt Neutral (sounds so newsy)- Stereo Total
Sugar Candy Kisses, Price of Love, and Here and Now- Client
Athens, Ohio- Solex
Portia- Throwing Muses
Smack- Bettie Serveert
Feelings- Lasgo
Okay---- Flin Flon's "Floods" is even BETTER!!!
Now, do you like it?
Score = 0
what would it matter if he was FOD..he still does his job very well and hes nice to look at..its not like he would have anything to do with u gossiping people anyway
Score = 0
It wouldn't matter at all. It's just I didn't know where everyone was getting info that made them so sure he was gay. I don't care either way, just happened on the convo and wondered where it came from. really, where does it come from?
Score = 0
Hey All. Just wondering if you knew some of the songs used during his commercial break cuts. I know that theres "Radio Clash", "Floods", and "Marquee Moon" But I was wondering if anyone knew the other ones. Any info or guesses would be great! Thanks a ton.

Client's "Sugar Candy Kisses" almost sounds like Flin Flon's "Floods."
Score = 0
First of all, it's so obvious Anderson is gay, either way, he's completely out of bounds for anyone in this forum.
Secondly, it's CNN, not a real news station. So what's the kufaw at the beginning of this thread. The guy is a celebrity and he's landed himself a cream job doing what he likes doing. Why do you think he's so sexy? He's going what he likes doing!
Score = 0
Anderson is very sexy. There's no harm in looking at him and thinking he's hot. I am a female and I know I'd have no chance with him for all kinds of reasons but I still love him!
Score = 0
Yeah Andersons the man, CNN needed him and hopefully they'll get some new, fresh anchors in their line up, cuz if I have to even see Judy Woodruff anymore I might just die. She reminds me of the late 1930's and they really need to let her go and get a more solid primetime lineup.
Score = 0
I hope CNN realizes what a prize they have in Anderson and not get rid of him because the ratings aren't so great - there are a lot of us out there who think he's the greatest - their loss if they let him go - he's got the goods to be wherever he wants.
Score = 0
Son of Gloria Vanderbilt, 10 out of10 in the looks dept., Yale grad, good taste in music. I think he plays some Audioslave (Rage Against the Machine minus lead singer - chris cornell sings.) They are awesome. Buy their self-titled CD, you'll hear for yourself.

Joey Headset,
Your opinion does not fall on tar tar ears. I must disagree though. Mark has notoriously, almost militantly shunned the fuck crap you are linking him to. Perhaps you need to slide the Paxil suppository in and out before you fully insert it so you can feel like your imaginary faggot news buddy. Grab the reins my friend...it shouldn't be much longer. Hold it.......Hold it.....ahhhhhhh..perfect.

soo, anderson's voice is a little gay...but what else makes others so sure of his homosexuality?
Score = 0
As far as I know, Anderson has never come out and said he was gay - this is just something that many people have heard about him - he's so private; if he is involved with anyone, it will probably never be known - he's managed to keep it quiet this long.
Score = 0
he is so hot i wannab doin "that thing" all day wit him..yeh wat else makes him gay??? i didn't kno til like a day ago now i love him so much more... send me some pics ifu got any pics of his "back side" or shirtless...hehehe

Anderson no matter what his preference is hot. He is fun, sharp, witty with old world manners and charm. He is a blue blood who earned his way and should be damned proud. The best dressed award credits his style and those incredible eyes!If we lost Anderson who would we watch??? Jordan

But anyhoo! Cut Anderson some slack, eh people? Good grief...No one can deny that he's an incredible news anchor. The guy knows what he's doing, and he's even risked his life (rescently getting blown away-nearly)to deliver the best news.
By the way...clean-cut, mannerable, well-dressed straight men DO exist...they're called METROSEXUALS! Watch out Simon Cowell, there's a new, and more talented pretty boy on the way! =D

Anderson is so fine and sexy. If that's weren't enough, he's extremely smart, wickedly funny, refined and yet down to earth, sophisticated and worldly, but doesn't come across like some snob, despite his heavy Vanderbilt heritage. Anderson also has a great sense of style; I love the suits he wears, but he looks hot in jeans and his hurricane gear too.
Score = 0
That was him in that hurricane footage behind that building where the sign fell off and was blowing toward him and the other guy? Damn he's hot.. I don't really watch the news much, but hell.. If he's reporting it, rawr!

Oh, and I forgot.. I read something about an interview he did with a Reverand, it kind of suggests his homosexuality(which I have no problem with.)
COOPER: But there are a lot of gay families out there, Reverend Falwell, there are a lot of gay families out there. I think there are like a million kids being raised by gay parents who say that if you want to protect families, you know, civil unions will give inheritance rights, will give Social Security, survivor benefits rights to...
FALWELL: Anderson, that's all a red herring. If you want to leave something to your cat, you can do that in your will...
COOPER: It's not a red herring. That's simply not true. It's not true. You know we pay taxes.

All the good ones are gay.
I have recently fallen in love with a gay man. A beautiful, gray haired, 38 yr old gay man. He isn't yet out of the closet, but I can sense he is gay. Lets start from the begining. A few days ago I listened to Anderson Cooper speak about the situation in New Orleans, saying everything he wanted without holding back, but in a way that was too polite to notice he was dissing the federal government. From that moment I was blown away, and while I found myself attracted to him, there was something holding me back. I can read people well, and there was something that he just wasn't coming out with. A few days later and I know what it is. He is gay. I just googled him to find out if he has a girlfriend but he never has.
Make No Mistake, Anderson Cooper Doesn't Have A Girlfriend.
Our batty sister in D.C. points us to a choice bit of dialogue between CNN's Anderson Cooper and voter registration thug P. Diddy that leaves us feeling a bit, um, frustrated. Come on, it's 2004, let's stop beating around the bush:
COOPER: I know you got like clothing lines coming out, you got stars wearing "Vote or Die."
[. . . ]
COMBS: And I have this ["Vote or Die" t-shirt] for your girlfriend. You have a wife or girlfriend?
COOPER: I don't right now, so no.
COMBS: OK. Well, you could get one with this shirt. You give it out.
COOPER: I appreciate it.
Does Cooper appreciate P. Diddy's generosity with clothing or his persistence in outing the anchor? Or does a fashion designer not recognize when he's in the presence of his target audience?
Maybe he's straight, but there is a high chance he isn't, and it breaks my heart.

Anderson has a Welsh Springer Spaniel named Molly. He had her on his show last year. I have no doubt that he's gay but that doesn't stop me from crushing on him. He's so handsome, sexy, intelligent, compassionate, a good writer and he seems to have a big heart. He just won't let go of what's happening in New Orleans, he's so determined to get real answers. I could never have Anderson even if he were straight so I don't concern myself too much with his sexuality, he's just HOT.
I think it's hilarious that this thread is still active, but considering the subject, I can certainly understand why.

Mr. Cooper:
Cooper has frequently been involved with gay and lesbian issues, and among the many awards he has won is the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation Media Award for Outstanding TV Journalism for his 20/20 Downtown report on gay high school athlete Corey Johnson.
Score = 0
Anderson Cooper is the only reason I'm still interested in CNN. Others before me have already listed his numerous great qualities and, of course, we all know how gorgeous the man is. I wish -- if he were gay -- he would come out with it. There's no real positive role models for us queer youth (I'm eighteen and gay) and he'd make an excellent example as someone GLBT people can aspire to. It's 2005, would anyone who currently watches 360 suddenly stop watching because he's a homo? Maybe a few, but I'm confident his core audience would remain loyal. He's an excellent, intriguing news anchor whether he's gay or not. It's about time we as a public cease averting from the truth and move on with our lives. Right?
So Anderson, if indeed you do taste the rainbow would you COME OUT ALREADY!

WOW! Anderson has a really sexy neck & upper chest. Yesterday (Wednesday, September 21) he was broadcasting from Galveston and he was wearing a light blue button down shirt and you really couldn't see anything but his pale white skin, and it was turning me on! The weird thing is, I'm not into pale guys, I'm not a racist, but I like guys with a little color to their skin, but Andersons pale skin and neck was turning me on. What is it about him? He seems like such a sweetheart.
Score = 0
I definately think he is a FOD- wish he would come out- he would make a great role model for gay youth.
When he starting crying on air i fell for him right then and there- hottest hotty on the air- too bad i'm married- happily- however gets him is luckier than the last mega million lottery winner!

Anderson IS intriguing. Very hard to figure out and that's what makes him sexy to me along with his sheer hotness. His smarts, compassion and style are icing on the cake. He once said "mystery is sexy" and that sure applies to him.

Anderson Cooper is a professional. He's an impeccable journalist, and he earned his credentials in every shit-hole in the world. I'd like to sit down with him and have a conversation; I think it would be fascinating and great fun. The fact that he's eye candy is just frosting on the cake. Why doesn't anyone wonder why Paula Zahn is banging Jerry Fallwell? hmmmm? Okay I'm just speculating, but isn't that what this whole thing is about? Cheers!
