Stupidest newscaster question of all time

“Sure, take all the umbridge. Don’t leave any for us.”

Shit, that’s stupider than the “how about a hug” thing.

Sorry, but my guys win.
20 years ago as a result of a car accident a man impaled hmself in a stop-sign pole that went through his right lung.
The guy is sitting there while the firemen try to cut to the pole to a “decent” size.
Newsguy: “Does it hurt?”

According to the reports the deaths all occurred between 9:00 and 9:20am, looks like time may have been a factor here.

No. Stupidest news question of all time was asked by Larry King, to the Dalai Lama on the CNN millennium eve special:

“As a Muslim, what do you think of Jesus Christ?”

His holiness reaches for his earpiece in disbelief, and CNN suddenly cuts to commercial. You could almost hear the facepalming in the control room. :smack: Wrong religion, wrong question, wrong everything.

Upon return from break, the Enlightened One is nowhere to be seen, and King issues a correction: “Earlier I mentioned that the Dalai Lama was a Muslim. Of course he is one of those great, great, Buddhists! Moving along…” What a dolt.
