Irene said...: About ten years ago, a Madison, Wisconsin Sunday-evening-slot newscaster talked over the station identification. Although she wasn't on screen, she could be heard saying, "What the f%!k?!" when there was an editorial hiccup.

The WHOOPSIE occurred during the broadcast of ... The Sound of Music.

What was happening?

The URL onscreen at the end makes me think they were being hacked.; 3/18/12, 12:43 PM
Wince said...: She should be in control of when the weather presentation slides advance using the clicker in her hand.

It looks like the clicker button got stuck and advanced past where she was on the teleprompter.; 3/18/12, 1:05 PM

Most cable boxes today allow you to basically rewind and fast forward live tv. Thus, it already happened, then he replayed it and recorded it for posterity, and this blog.; 3/18/12, 1:10 PM

Roger J. said...: Good for her--SOB is much more palatable than cunt or twat. She's pretty hot for a weather babe--not so much for a cable news info babe thought.; 3/18/12, 1:40 PM
Lyle said...: That's acceptable language on tv now.; 3/18/12, 3:49 PM
Will said...: No she's not looking for work, and no they weren't hacked. Here's the article from my local paper.

Short version: she was sick and none of the other meteorologists at the station could get in to relieve her. She pre-taped the forecast so she could go home early, but for some reason the wrong clip was aired. It's kind of a shame that one bonehead error (which probably wasn't even of her own making) is getting such traction.; 3/18/12, 4:31 PM

In my youth -- or rather at the high end of the time that can be described as still being part of my youth -- I did not know that twat was a dirty word. Perhaps I had never heard it or read it in context.

At any event, I described a group of unruly children as a bunch of twits and twats.

Fortunately, I was talking to my good friend and his father, both of whom regarded me as a virginal goody-two-shoes, which at the time wasn't far from the truth.

They corrected my ignorance, for which I am eternally grateful.; 3/18/12, 8:40 PM
Peter Hoh said...: Will, thanks for the link and the additional information. Good for her boss to issue a quick defense and stand up for her like that.; 3/18/12, 8:43 PM
prairie wind said...: If she looks that smart and tough when she's sick, no wonder her boss stood up for her.; 3/19/12, 10:08 AM
