Morning News Blooper
Just before their local news signed off this morning, WXII ran a story on Guilford College's proposed plan to allow opposite gender roommate assignments in dorms. They must have been running short on time before they signed off at 7am, because they appeared to truncate an in-studio plug for Go Red For Women Day.
Instead of a fully formed feature on the special day, a reporter excitedly asked "Does everyone have a Hard On?"
That sure got my attention. Replaying her question in my mind, I think she probably asked if everyone had a Heart On (their lapels), but my mind might have been elsewhere after the Guilford story.
Or perhaps WXII is taking cues from the marketing wizards at LL Bean.
