Public flogging for news anchor's gaffe

[Monello]

Time to break out the pitch forks. 3 days off to reflect on the hurt that you have caused so many people.

Kristi Capel will not be anchoring 'Fox 8 News in the Morning' for the remainder of the week. Capel found herself in the middle of an Internet firestorm after using the word "jigaboo," a derogatory term for African-Americans, while praising Lady Gaga's performance at Sunday's 87th Academy Awards. She apologized to Channel 8 viewers during Tuesday's morning newscast.

Opps, did I just say that?

This word is still somehow acceptable after apologizing.

***Profanity Alert ***

Good ol' Sue Simmons. She had a rough go of it when she left WRC for the network. I remember her lame attempt at humor: "Have a mediocre day". Can't find it on youtube though

Did you happen to notice the race of the speaker? Of course it is immediately forgiven!

Well it's not such a big deal the word has been used by accident before.
But the way she shot it out there she sure doesn't sound like she is too pleasant to work with.
