TV: Happy Now? Thanks to the Haters Now There's No News -- At Least in England

TV: In Defense of Sue Simmons

By Noah Mallin

There's been a lot of hubbub here in New York over anchorwoman Sue Simmons and an inadvertent on-air outburst. The iconic television fixture was doing an on-air promo with longtime anchorman Chuck Scarborough when someone did something to prompt her call out of "What the fuck are you doing?"

To be fair, Chuck and Sue have been on the air together longer than most marriages last, since sometime in the late 70s. It also seems that the cause of her outburst was Chuck's failure to pick up his cue while being distracted so it's kind of Chuck's fault.

The point is that some misguided folks are calling for Sue to be fired and step down. Puh-leese. After two decades of anchoring she's entitled to a sloppy moment, and one that I'm sure is replicated in workplaces and homes all across American every day.

Really, what the fuck are we doing anyhow? Leave Sue alone people!

The clip is below, with lame apologia tacked on...

Interspecies Relations: You Know What They Say: Big Foot = Big Crazy Internet Perv

Leon Harris was always a cheery upbeat presence back when he was on CNN and he brings that same twinkle in the eye to his current gig at DC area station WJLA. Recently they unearthed the story of a Stafford, Virginia gentleman who was convicted of trolling cyberspace looking for teenage boys as sex partners. He does have a good excuse though. Seems he was molested as a youngster by a Bigfoot.

As most psychologists will tell you, those that have been molested by Bigfoot (Bigfeet?) at an impressionable age tend to be more likely to molest youngsters as adults. The folks at WJLA do get extra special credit for tracking down Bigfoot experts for comment.
