Oh, the humiliation!

World Naked Biking Day Deserves More Exciting Coverage

GiggleSugar — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 13:10:00 -0700

World Naked Biking Day was this past weekend, and no one seems that thrilled that it happened. Has nudity become so run-of-the-mill that even this prim anchorwoman seems to be stifling yawns at footage of naked biking in the Netherlands? Short answer: yes.

News Anchors Screwin' Up Some More!

I guess teleprompters don't always include commas and periods when they should, so news anchors just read what they see. I bet Dana, who had the night off, was none too pleased to hear the fate that befell him thanks to anchor Ken Bastida's run-on sentence. You can't trust anyone anymore. . .

News Reporter Kissed by WWF Hunk

Occupational hazards abound for anchors reporting live. But this one takes the cake. This woman is just doin' her job when - whammo! - out of the blue, a curly-headed, bleach blond hulk of a hick grabs her and plants a wet one on her. (Boogie Woogie Man, was that you?) Bleach and a big fat bonus are in order! (Thanks, eBaum's World!)

News Anchor Answers Cell Phone on the Air

It's one thing for a ringer to accidentally sound off at work. Or in class. Or at a movie. But you know the interrupting cell-phone situation has spun out of control when a ringer goes off during a live news broadcast and the anchor has the audacity to answer the phone on the air - while her colleague is delivering the weather report. Common courtesy is so passé, so it's really no biggie. I guess.

Ice, Ice, Are You Kidding Me?

What kind of fourth-rate news correspondent calls in a couple backup dancers and sings the most annoying rap song of the '90s while reporting on domestic abuse charges? See it to believe it folks. This is exactly why I tune into BBC - for sensible, totally decent, nonderogatory news broadcasts.

The Best of News Bloopers

We've posted so many of these news bloopers but I love this "best of" reel to remind me how great they are. From the news anchor buried by the snow from a passing snowmobile (whoops!) to a guy who gets hit upside the head by some drunken chick's purse, you'd think these folks were reporting live from a war zone. Danger lurks where you least suspect it!

Ruh Roh!

News Anchor Curt Fonger needs to brush up on his ad-libbing skills. Something appears to be missing from his script, so his introductory remarks to a news story about a sexual predator who's flashing women and children seem both rambling and inappropriate. (For a second there, I thought he was saying that what the flasher did was "very good.")

News Correspondent Gets Owned by Anchor

GiggleSugar — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 11:30:00 -0800

What begins as an incredibly dull news report about elevator repairs ends in an awkward on-air pissing contest between the news anchor and a correspondent who apparently used to be the anchor's boss. The tension begins to rise about 55 seconds in and escalates from there, with the irritated anchor delivering a stern lecture: "Well, if I have to teach you how to be a reporter, Ollie, I'll do that later." I love how they maintain a polite news tone even while hurling insults.

News Reel Keeps It Real

A news station had its hands tied (visually) when it came to a story about the man version of getting your tubes tied. So during a segment on vasectomies, they pulled out stock footage of people walking down the street. Thing is, those man-on-the-street news reels tend to be, uh, crotch-centric. Result? Mr. Cute Anchorman could not stop laughing. Nor could I.
