This might be even better than the earthquake reaction videos that made the rounds on Monday. While covering the awful news helicopter crash in Seattle, Fox 31 in Denver began showing some odd images: Edward Scissorhands, an enchilada(?), then oh wow, thats totally a penis. What is going on in that control room? Obviously this is not safe for work.
The YouTube video got yanked, so heres the Vine (via Dorsey Shaw).
UPDATE I: The Denver Post has a comment from the station:
Fox31 News Director Ed Kosowski said, We are going to make a public statement. We are not ready to comment about any potential action against employees. Thats a personnel matter. For now, he said, an apology and explanation is forthcoming.
