To many, yesterday's storming on the United States Capitol marked one of the darker days in American history, one befitting somber remembrance. MSNBC's Morning Joe tried to give the moment exactly that due this morning when it set a montage of pictures from the event to Johnny Cash's "Hurt." The result is… well, look for yourself.

Judging from the quote-tweets, there are plenty of people who think this is an inspiring and touching way to remember yesterday's catastrophe. There are also plenty of people who think it sucks shit.

For the, let's say, "irony-poisoned" crowd, Morning Joe's video is brain-breaking, a transcendently weird mish-mash of horrifying images made unintentionally hilarious by the early-AMV aesthetic and Cash's croaking rendition of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt." The responses have been particularly hilarious, as people expressed how the video is the thing that broke their fragile psyche.


While Morning Joe certainly succeeded in creating a memorable video about yesterday's events, they also unintentionally created a new meme template: by far the funniest part of the response has been the parodies setting the montage to more, er, fitting songs.
