Morning Roundup: After the Snowfall Edition
FOX 5 Weatherman Tony Perkins had guaranteed no rain for this past Labor Day weekend, or he would eat a sock. As you probably are aware, his prediction fell short, and this morning he consumed a sock sprinkled with the regional seasoning of choice, Old Bay. Even worse, it was a sock that he had brought from home, laundered, but used nonetheless. To add to the zaniness, he has promised good weather for this upcoming weekend or he will be finishing off the other sock in the pair. You can see him partaking in the culinary delight at around 1:30.

Feet!
For footwear-consuming publicity stunts, nothing beats Les Blank's 1980 documentary short in which Werner Herzog seasons, cooks, and eats his shoe after losing a bet with Errol Morris over whether Morris would ever finish his first feature.
The scary thing is that somewhere on the Interweb, someone is turned on by this.
The network could turn this in to an ongoing feature: he could eat a pair of mittens for unpredicted snowstorms and dryer lint for missed hurricanes. Admit it,
if there was a show featuring weathermen eating dryer lint, you would watch that. You totally would.
It would definitely be more entertaining than "Hello, Larry." Then again, f**king the chicken in the fridge is more entertaining than "Hello, Larry."
From Good Morning America to ''literally'' eating socks on TV...Poor Tony
On the bright side, at least he didn't have to chew his way through a red latex ball gag.
Note to Tony: never agree to chew your way through a ball gag if you get the weather wrong. All the Old Bay in the world won't get the latex flavor out of your mouth. Trust me on this.
The only one at Fox apologizing for misinformation is the weatherman? Good for you Mr. Perkins. When is Bill O'Rielly going to eat his whole wardrobe?
Someone should get him Shari Lewis's old sock, then it would at least taste like Lamb Chop.
When are you kids going to learn the simple tools of the media trade ihor? Fox News DC is a regional affiliate of the network but has nothing to do with The Fox News Network.
The O'Reilly Factor has little to do with the Network as well other than the fact they own the rights to the show for now. It's like any program on TV, the networks don't own them, they simply own the rights to air them. If CNN could afford to purchase the rights to The O'Reilly Factor, you can bet Anderson Cooper's socks they would based on the fact that the chump's show is so profitable.
I'm just glad to finally see a weather guy put his money where his mouth is. Then again, if they add did this, we'd have a shortage of socks.
It would be much more entertaining if he would stuff a sock in the mouth of Julie Wright. I can't stand her.
I thing she is okay. She is who she is, an overweight woman in desperate need of affection and no sense of fashion. Fun to watch.
Now, seeing Holly Morris do a live feed from a Cat Show--that is enough to make you gouge your eyes out.
I don't mind her weight, I don't mind her lack of fashion sense - but the desperate chatter and endless need to tell at least ten jokes before getting to the fucking traffic reports? The sock treatment!
Listening to Julie Wright makes me want to take a Xanax. Whereas everytime I hear Holly Morris I want to knock her lights out.
Gross.
