Anyway, I like this one. Health correspondent Sapna Parikh’s reaction is hilarious. “What was that you said … ?” That coy, pretend puzzlement came off as really sexy. ---

Nothing like Sue Simmons wanting to know what the fuck you’re doing when you accidentally click somewhere you shouldn’t be… Ha. I did some broadcasting work in the early 90’s. When I was in school we were simply told to erase profanities from everyday life. If there are words you NEVER say, then you are far less likely to “accidentally” say them on the air. That was the best advice we were ever given. Interesting that so many on-air people haven’t utilized the same advice. ---

Today the news announced a famous person was talking to the public for the first time after her stalker was sentenced. The news guy said she sure looks good. I thought that’s exactly what the stalker in the story probably said too. ---

I was watching these during my lunch break and chuckling, but this one really put me over the edge. I had to go to the bathroom to wipe the tears from my eyes and compose myself.

One of my favorites - German weather woman gets the [giggles](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TN_eSXmSsEE). It’s gotta be one of the most infectious laughs I’ve ever heard - it’s not possible for me to hear it without cracking up. ---

If there are words you NEVER say, then you are far less likely to “accidentally” say them on the air. That was the best advice we were ever given. Interesting that so many on-air people haven’t utilized the same advice. Agree 100%. I too went to broadcasting school, and that was one of the first things we learned. That, and to not use sirens in radio ads! I’m an ad writer and it’s the #1 complaint we get. So I don’t use them. ---

My google-fu sucks, but there is that female anchor who famously said to the weatherman who had predicted a heavy snowfall, “So, Jim, where are those 9 inches you promised me last night?” The whole anchor team cracked up. ---

> [@Pyper](#): > > . . .Also, I’d really like to know the story behind “keep fucking that chicken.” Was that what he meant to say? And if so, whah? Well, he first says something like, “It takes a tough man to make a tender forecast,” which is clearly a reference to Frank Perdue’s commercials. I’m guessing before broadcast someone had made some kind of dirty Frank Perdue joke, and Anastos decided to be cheeky and try to remind the weatherman of it on air in a coded reference . . . then forgot himself in the most memorable way possible. ---

Actually good reporting on an incident that you would swear must be a parody of something, but it’s not. You have probably seen it before, it’s an oldie but a goodie.
