News Anchor Loses it On-Air Over ‘Crusty Buttocks’ Story

Sam Rubin of KTLA in Los Angeles couldn’t contain himself Tuesday morning while doing a story on bathroom humor. Literally.
Rubin was doing a piece about the station using an impromptu survey in the bathroom and asking employees what they thought of the newly-installed hand dryers. Apparently the men at the station still have a little middle-school streak inside them — as Rubin’s co-anchor points out — because the men’s bathroom “survey” was quickly defaced. Under the “name” section, aliases such as “Kim Jong Il” appeared, which was enough to get Rubin chuckling. But what really set him off was when someone named “Crusty Buttocks” registered a vote.
You can watch Rubin’s hilarious reaction below:

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 9:03amAgain the Blaze is showing the corrupting influence of the Huffington post by posting such juvenile stories at a time of severe crisis. These are the same people working at the Blaze who cannot script a Hollywood comedy without including the obligatory fart joke. Mercury is in serious need of a crack down.

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 7:52amSounds like something one of my boys would have said when they were, oh, twelve. Got a snork and a grimace out of me, but that was about it. But then, I am female, and we tend to think those kind of jokes are really infantile. However, the anchor should have been a bit more professional and he should have done his homework first so he could have laughed off camera.

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 11:53amMy late husband was a reporter and political editor for a central Georgia radio and TV station. One day a story came in across the wire about a young dog being trained down at Warner Robbins AF Base, It seems that the dog, named Satan, had cut his mouth on a barbed wire fence and had to have stitches.
Tim thought the story could use a bit of refining. He took the information and rewrote the story, ending it with, “but never fear. Satan will soon be back at his post to guard us against the enemy, even if he has to gum ‘em to death.”
Well, the announcer was reading the news stories “cold” for the 11 o’clock news and laughed before he could get the “punch line” out. Every ten minutes he would try again, only to crack up uncontrollably. He promised the listeners he would get the complete story out before he left the air at midnight. At five minutes until midnight, he gave it his final attempt and made it to the end, but he laughed the remaining time on the air.
It reminded me of the time that Lowell Thomas misspokje and said that a 550-pound woman had died of a fart attack (instead of a heart attack) and laughed the rest of his five minutes. Johnny Carson had it on his show that night, and I just HAPPENED to have my tape recorder going so my husband could hear it when he got home from work.

Posted on February 17, 2011 at 12:59pmYea, well, it is a bit refreshing to watch news and see something that makes you laugh. The announcer is only human and it’s nice to see something different than bad news, finger pointing, and name-calling.
Something small but made me laugh. People don’t do enough of that anymore.
