Live television has its pros and cons. You can provide people with up-to-the-minute information when it breaks, but you also can't trust the public.
Reporters the world over grew tired of the 'Fuck her right in the pussy' gag after one man made it his mission to disrupt journalists just trying to do their job.
But unfortunately for one man, who was just trying to give the good people of Atlanta some information ahead of the 4th of July celebrations, he didn't get what he was looking for when he tried to interview a member of the public.
Atlanta FOX 5's chief weatherman, Ted Pretty, was talking about fireworks and what the best type are to purchase, when he came along a kid reading a leaflet.
I'll let the video do the talking.
Ted starts off by saying: "They have a full weekend, then a day and then the fourth of July. Here's an actual customer here. What's the best kind of firework to buy?"
While a kid might provide a cute response about how great fireworks are, he savagely replies with: "Wouldn't you like to know, weather boy."
Since being aired live on TV, the phrase 'weather boi' is trending on Reddit, Twitter and YouTube. But because it's 2017 and there are many internet investigators out there, some speculated that the whole thing was a hoax.
While the kid looks pretty innocent, there are rumours that he was planted there. Check out this tweet by Ted Pretty last year.
Ted has since confirmed that the boy is his son, but whether he was meant to deliver that piece of savagery on live TV is yet to be confirmed.
The golden rule of TV is to avoid using kids or animals, unless you want some sort of hilarity to ensue. Just like this reporter who was trying to get a totally cute piece to camera in front of a horse.
See, you'll never know what you're going to get.
Let's hope that Ted's kid gets a regular spot on his broadcasts because his first appearance was absolutely classic. I wonder if Ted is going to ground him or give him more pocket money.?
