What not to say when you are an anchor in New York!
http://www.seattlepi.com/tvguide/410306_tvgif18.html What is with New York City news anchors dropping f-bombs on live television? While bantering with the weatherman on Fox's WNYW, longtime New York City news anchor Ernie Anastos jovially flubbed a line on Wednesday, creating a new obscene catch phrase rapidly spreading across the internet. Anastos, who likely meant to say "Keep plucking that chicken," after making a play on an old chicken commercial, swapped the "pl" for a letter F. The news veteran remained oblivious to his flub and continued on with the broadcast as though nothing had happened. But his co-anchor's eyes nearly popped out of her head. Anatos apologized during the following <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a6FKxhTHk14> night's broadcast, saying he "misspoke" during the newscast. The live news curse follows last year's debacle when another New York City anchor, WNBC's Sue Simmons, inadvertently dropped an <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nYAMDhVT50I> f-bomb during a newscast teaser.
