I feel bad for the guy, but at least he went out in style.
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.”
Jim Prather, vice president and general manager of the ABC affiliate, said Blair stumbled but the excuse was not enough to save his job.
Careful not to mix up words on Valentines Evil Bloodsucking Succubus Whore Day. You might get in a little bit of trouble with the missus.
