The creator of the .gif may have buckled and apologized but I believe he did so under duress. In otherwords CNN threatened him in to doing so. He probably is underage and still lives with his parents, poor kid. Personally I thought the .gif was hilarious.
I say we start taking contributions for this kids lawsuit against CNN. Seems CNN can dish it out but cant take it.
