weather man slips up on mlk

January 18, 2005

everytime someone says racism is dead, i cringe. especially when stuff like this happens:

A weekend television weatherman was fired after he made an on-air racial slur about Martin Luther King Jr., station officials said.

Rob Blair of KTNV-TV was delivering the extended forecast Saturday morning when he said: “For tomorrow, 60 degrees, Martin Luther Coon King Jr. Day, gonna see some temperatures in the mid-60s.”

i don’t think anything else even needs to be said.
