Reporters drop f bombs on television all the time. Usually though it is an accident. Not this time. While reporting on a story about the efforts to legalize pot in Alaska, the reporter decides she could fight for it better if she was not reporting full-time so says f**k it and quits. What makes this even better is the guy who recorded it sounds stone out of his mind while he giggles away. I just wanted him to start talking about double rainbows.
I love this so much.
ReplyDeleteYou go girl!!! For real
ReplyDeletelove it.
ReplyDeleteother anchor:"..er..uh..ah"
Wow the newscasters in Alaska are quite pretty.
ReplyDeleteWonder what caused her to want to quit. She said, "Not like I have a choice.." Hope she doesn't want to work in any other market. That's gonna look bad on her resume.
Would love to do this every single workday of my life. This woman is my hero.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the headline on the DM, she was the owner of the MJ business she was reporting on. So it sounds like she already had another job lined up.
ReplyDelete@sherry, she can probably get whatever job she wants now.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what MichaelK has to say . Should be good.
"I quit this bitch"
Don't know how to make it clicky -
ReplyDeleteShe's got her own cannabis farm going.

It's not a cannbis farm. It's a business that hooks card holding patients up with growers and "donations" are provided to the growers for their operational costs.
ReplyDelete*cannabis
ReplyDeleteStill not as great as Sue Simmons asking her co-anchor, "What the f*** are you doing?!" and keeping her job!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite part of this is the statement made by the news director, Bert Rudman, on the TV station's Facebook page:
ReplyDelete"We sincerely apologize for the inappropriate language used by a KTVA reporter during her live presentation on the air tonight. The employee has been terminated."
No, she hasn't. You can't fire her, dood, 'cause f*ck it, she quit!
HaHaHaHa I LOVE IT!!
ReplyDeleteStupid!! Do not burn bridges that you may need to cross again. Just quit like a normal person and maybe you could come back some day.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm in the minority. I just don't find it funny or cute or admirable or heroic. I find it juvenile and unprofessional.
ReplyDeleteI can't count how many times in the workplace I've had to draw on the inhibitory powers of my frontal lobe to keep myself from saying things that seem like they would feel good at that moment but that I would later regret. For one thing, you never know when such an outburst is going to come back to bite you in the butt.
I wouldn't hire her to walk my dog now. A professional just doesn't give in to their impulses like that.

ReplyDeleteAll true, Figgy. I guess it's just funny because someone actually *did* what so many fantasize of doing. But yeah, her professional career is over for sure. Perhaps she knew that would be the case and doesn't care.
ReplyDeleteI wish this we're playing in the background. It's her perfect new theme song.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite film quitting job meltdown was this scene in Half Baked

ReplyDeleteConflicts of interest are a bitch y'all
ReplyDeleteI don't have a choice meaning she was being let go... this was a horrible career move and you ladies clapping your hands to it, are idiots. She will NOT easily get another job. Are you dumb? I bet not many of you have jobs...
ReplyDeleteHer professional career in TV news is definitely over unless she gets hired by The Soup. The problem is the use of the F word can equal a hefty fine from FCC I think.
ReplyDeleteNot a very adult thing to do. She burned a bridge and if her business doesn't work out, forget broadcast news. She should have just given proper notice.
ReplyDeleteAgree it was pretty unprofessional, but look how much coverage she is getting. Let's be real, in this day and age, she just sold herself and will be cashing in.
ReplyDeleteHOW TO MAKE THINGS CLICKY:
ReplyDelete{a href="http://www.yourURLhere.com"}TEXT YOU WANT TO APPEAR HERE{/a}
Now replace { with < and } with > and you're good to go.
(Couldn't actually type in < or > in the example because then it would just be a link, not an example!}
What people will see is something that looks like:
TEXT YOU WANT TO APPEAR HERE.
And if you ever forget, just find somebody's comment where they've included a hyperlink, and on Windows machines right click on the screen, then "view source" and use Ctrl+F to find some text from their comment and you'll see the clicky HTML code right there.
Why did they choose someone who owns a pot farm to report on legalizing pot? Or didn't they know.
ReplyDeleteBy the way enty/ern when you include a video clip I have to go and mute the annoying ad that always plays on the right in order to hear the video clip.
Or rather, unmute my computer (because I always mute it before I visit CDAN) then mute the annoying ad, then watch the clip.
We all wished we could do that at one job or another ... but I still wouldn't do something like that. At least I hope I wouldn't. Never say never. I thought the person recording it was funny...his giggles were infectious and made me giggle.
ReplyDeleteAs for those saying she committed professional suicide...that may be...but she's probably going to make more money being in the pot industry than being a news reporter, so she'll be just fine.
@Prunella B.,
ReplyDelete***THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT LESSON*** I'll give it a whirl- I've never been able to double click either :)
She's in Alaska and has come up with a good business venture. She doesn't need them. She will make a lot of money until she encounters serious competition.
ReplyDeleteLet's see here.
ReplyDeleteStoner doesn't give a F"CK.
...go figure
