When TV news errors were funny

No Gravatar

Been a bit down and frustrated lately with all the crap going on at work (ABC). The added stress and pressure to deliver a faultless news bulletin while cursing the computers and blushing while Media Watch makes your errors national laughing fodder (or is that computer error? Human? Computer?) is too much at times and now threatens to turn colleague against colleague while management sit back and see who is strong enough to survive the new era of newsroom chess. Think Lord of the Flies with soundbites!

The veterans pushed to early retirement, others taking stress leave, casuals (such as myself) waving a white flag and seeking work anywhere else, and I mean ANYWHERE ELSE, while the rest of the country surf the web in search of funny cats or flashbacks to better dance music.

So in light of the end of the world as we know it here are some funny news bloopers I’ve found on the interwebs, when mistakes were mostly human errors, funny, and could easily be forgiven. Worst case you got a giggle after all the doom and gloom.

Hido…Pfffft!
