Viewers amused by CNN's accidental mix of footage

A serious topic, mixed up with something light and entertaining, is likely to amuse people. A striking case in point is CNN's accidental combination of two far-fetched video files, which understandably generates thousands of laughs across the Internet. 

The clip in question is concerned about CNN's seemingly serious news on the ongoing student protest over tuition hike in Britain. But in the middle of the segment, CNN accidentally released a hilarious diarrhea scene from comedy film "Dumb and Dumber" on Thursday.

The effect got amplified -- almost to an unbearable extent -- as CNN's formal reporting was interrupted by a film footage featuring Jeff Daniels’ explosive diarrhea scene in the toilet, with all the sound effects blaring at a high pitch.

CNN reportedly declined to comment on the accident, but online media reported that the video clip was originally intended for a segment on digestive disease, which had been already aired.
