"Keep fvcking that chicken" (language NSFW)

Deebs · 09-17-2009, 03:17 PM

Wow, what an unfortunate choice of words, topped off by even more awkwardness. The funniest thing to me is the look on the co-anchor's face -- eyes big as saucers.

Assuming the "chicken fücking" comment was not intentional, what was he trying to say?

Alex · 09-17-2009, 05:34 PM

No idea at all. He's had trouble with the station's URL in the past.

Deebs · 09-17-2009, 05:49 PM

I thought he meant to say plucking. But leering at his co-worker in her workout apparel while on camera, um, I dunno what he was thinking there.

Jon Stewart brings it home. (starting at the 0:59 mark)

Here's a real WTFer - Ticketmaster enacting policies that might help the consumer!
Trent Reznor-approved.

Yeah, I'm a bit worried about this one. Of course we have Miley Cyrus tickets for her upcoming concert here in DC. However the credit card I used to purchase the tickets was recently replaced due to a fraud alert. So now I don't have the card used to purchase the tickets. I'm not sure how that's going to work. I guess I'll have to call Ticketmaster.

innerSpaceman · 09-18-2009, 05:03 PM

Yeah, I suppose there has to be some sort of provision for cards you no longer have, since concert tickets in particular are purchased far in advance.

I kinda like this idea though. But why not limit the resale value to a tiny profit rather than a 100% profit? It may discourage most scalpers and ticket brokers not to get at 150,000% profit, but tickets should plain and simply not be purchased for the purpose of re-sale. If legitimate circumstances call for such a thing, the seller should be entitled only to a profit for time and effort of original acquisition and resale.

Still, it's a step in the right direction that I heartily applaud.
