more stupidity on the today show

What the hell? What is up with this ridiculous clip from the Today show, as pointed this week by The Soup. The segment involves Al Roker and Hoda Kotb visiting a Beijing shop to apparently buy a gift for Kathie Lee Gifford. Hilarity ensues. The two hosts manage to achieve a gold medal in Joel McHale calls "The Condescending American" event. Just watch.
