Virginia Trioli is Michael Roland--ABC 24 blooper
Virginia Trioli has a Ron Burgundy moment when she introduces ABC 24's news. She just reads the teleprompter and after talking about the stories and says, "Good morning you're watching ABC News 24, I'm Michael Roland"... How crazy, she introduces herself as a man---I guess they'll read anything that is put on the teleprompter.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 25, 2010
Contact: Jay Trisler, Sergeant
Phone: 310.458.8471

On May 25, 2010, at 8:58 a.m., traffic officers from the Santa Monica Police Department received a call for service from the parking manager of the 1550 beach lot; Central Parking. The caller reported that several vehicles were in the parking lot refusing to pay.
Upon arrival, a Traffic Service Officer was advised by the attendant that eleven vehicles were parked in parking spots and had not paid. The attendant advised that his supervisor approached the news crew at 7:40 a.m. and advised them they needed to pay for the parking spots. The news crew promised to pay for the spaces before 9:00 a.m. When the attendant approached the news crew at 8:50 a.m. to pay for the parking spaces, they ignored him. The parking attendant contacted his supervisor to call the Santa Monica Police Department.
A Traffic Service Officer approached the news crew and advised them she was there to address the issue of not paying for the parking spaces. A representative from the news crew stated they had already paid for the spaces and had a permit. The traffic service officer asked the representative for the receipt and permits. The representative walked away and did not come back.
At 9:20 a.m., the traffic service officer issued four citations for failing to pay to the vehicles that were parked in parking spaces. Although the news reporter stated on the live television broadcast that they had paid for the parking spaces at the time the officer was issuing the citations, the news crew actually paid for the parking spaces at 9:40 a.m., after the citations were issued.
Obama is a Keynesian Video
During the October 2010 Rally to Restore Sanity Rally that Jon Stewart and Steven Colbert held, a fake news reporter went to Washington DC with a sign that said, "Obama is a Keynesian" sign...
Needless to say, many rally-goers were unaware that Keynesian is a type of economic thought (frequently at odds with the Austrian School). These people thought the sign holder was referencing Obama's Kenyan (African) heritage and were quick to point out that Barack was born in Hawaii.
Only one guy at the end of the video mentions economic policy in his answer... And the reporter jabs at a young voter's stance on prop 19, because he seemed like a stoner.
Cleveland Weatherman is bothered by a Streaker during a blizzard
This local Cleveland weatherman is doing a field reporter in downtown during a cold blustery snow storm. While he's interviewing another citizen bundled up in a winter coat, hat and scarf a naked / shirtless streaker starts dancing right behind the meteorologist! And the streaker has the gumption to say, "It's cold out here---woooo!"... Pretty funny if you ask me.
Epic Overbid on Price is Right Show Case Showdown
After Jose's first $250,000 on the showcase showdown, Bob Barker asked him to think about it a little bit... He then lowered his bid to $60,000... But his opponent realized that it was still a bone-headed way to high bid ended up placing a $1 bid---(Something you usually only see in the early rounds). The lady ended up winning the showcase because Jose severely overbid...
I don't ever remember seeing any news about another $1 bid on the final round---but it is a good strategy.
