One perfect moment in time...
-Headline of the day-
"Fox 5 anchor delivered false report to help Jack Bauer."
In an episode of FOX's torture porn series 24, torturer/hero Jack Bauer needs to leak false info to catch a terrorist, so he turns to this guy to help him do it:
No, really. This guy -- FOX 5 anchor Ernie Anastos -- is the guy they cast. Seriously, the only reason this is news is so we can show this video -- or, as we refer to it in the ultra-serious blogosphere, "Keep fucking that chicken."
For bonus fun, replay it and watch the co-anchor's expression as he says it (about 6 seconds in, so pay attention). She looks like someone dropped a snowball down her pants.
I'm serious, this is news. Mostly because it proves that even the most insane possible on-air screw up can't kill your path to quasi-celebrity.
It's a story of hope and redemption for the kids. (Raw Story)
