This little news snippet from the good ol' US of A caught my eye...very funny. I can't imagine Trever McDoughnut slipping up like this, although I'd love to see it! 
What's the real story here I wonder? Has DaButt got the inside track? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdnXYWSa56w
The bonus for me is that, with a tash, he'd have an air of Ron Burgundy about him.

ker-ching! 
Sounds like he either tried to say, or meant to say, "pluckin'."
About 35 years ago our weatherman in Florida was talking about the organism that causes Red Tide and said "orgasm" instead. The tide wasn't the only thing that was red that evening.

You're right! The best thing for me is his co-anchor's expression. "Oh shit!" is probably the best description of her mug :-)
I think he said 'keep plucking that chicken' but that's not as funny.

We had one newsreader on a network main news who once accidentally said "c**t" during a bulletin. Unfortunately I can't remember who or what the context was. It was a slip of the tongue. That's what it was... er...

I like to think he was just happily drunk and quite oblivious to what he had just said.
MMmmm. C**t.
I liked that time a newsreader said a pier had been "crushed by the elephants" (she meant elements).
This has been floating around for a few days and it never fails to make me chuckle.
The newshounds are always getting it wrong. The one I found the funniest was 'Jade Goody dead, a nation mourns'. How wrong can they be?
Social satire, ladies and gentlemen, social satire... 
My Sister always tells me about one time when she was listening to Henry Kelly on the radio, and he kept bursting out laughing, as he was reading a story about a person who had just been killed.
