Nasty Anastos-Anchor Makes Headlines

17 September, 2009

What did he say!? Today’s news reports feature New York anchorman Ernie Anastos, possibly a recent graduate of the Kanye West Broadcasting School, using the forbidden F-word.

In an on-air exchange with weatherman Nick Gregory, the anchor first joked, "I guess it takes a tough man to make a tender forecast." While both men laughed after Gregory’s brief response, Anastos said what sounded like, "Keep f---ing that chicken." Really? Some sources suggest he may have meant to say ‘plucking’? Not that that makes any sense either. In any case, a news broadcast doesn’t seem like the appropriate venue for such a profane directive, or the disclosure of a personal chicken fetish.

Personally, I’ll stick with the family-friendly news broadcasts on Dish Network TV. And, when I am in the mood for uncensored entertainment, I’ll turn to HBO or other adult programming options where Anastos-like communication won’t come as such a shock.
