Watching WRC/NBC4 news anchor Jim Vance totally lose it while cracking up over the video footage, of course.

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.

FOX 5 Weatherman Tony Perkins Eats a Sock

Stabbing at 10th and Kenyon Linked to Arguing Girls
A 16-year-old girl was stabbed last night at 1024 Kenyon Street NW at about 11 p.m., WJLA reports, and the attack stemmed from a feud between two "girl gangs" who were upset about something one of them posted on a MySpace page, according to D.C. Council member Jim Graham. The victim, Graham says, is thankfully expected to recover. The incident is sure to prompt several infuriating "Are Your Children Safe on MySpace??!!!" stories on the local news stations tonight, as there's nothing broadcasters love more than blaming the medium of the Internet for bad behavior. It would certainly be refreshing to see a report on this story based on the facts: teenage girls are often mean to each other, with or without social networking web sites.
We Would Like Some Superheroes Too, Please!
Not technically D.C.-related, but given that this may actually be the best local TV news story we've ever seen, there was just no way we could pass on it. WLWT in Cincinnati reports on the "growing trend" of "real-life superheroes" in this piece of pure comedy gold. Make sure not to miss the interaction between Cincinnati's top superhero, "Shadow Hare," and a Cincinnati cop about halfway through. Absolutely brilliant.
