F&#% a Cluck: NY Fox Anchor Bleeps Big Time

Ernie Anastos has choice on-air suggestion for weatherman

Share

(Newser) – A veteran New York Fox TV anchor is likely in for a peck of trouble after making an obscene suggestion on air about what the weather forecaster should do to a chicken. "It takes a tough man to make a tender forecast," Ernie Anastos quipped to weatherman Nick Gregory before tacking on his curious recommendation. Anastos, unflappable, continued on without a beat, but the gaffe clearly didn't fly with his stunned co-anchor.

He clearly meant to say, "keep plucking that chicken". He must not be a cunning linguist.
