Today’s award goes to a newly unemployed weatherman in Hungary.
It must have seemed like a great idea at the time – spicing up a report about incoming windy weather by letting rip a massive farting sound.
Sadly, bosses at the Hungarian TV2 channel didn’t see the funny side.
Szilard Horvath was rapidly fired after his ‘enhanced’ broadcast – which he improvised himself, without asking his bosses – and the clip was deleted.
A somewhat – ahem – deflated Horvath wrote on Facebook … ‘It’s turned out I can’t do the weather on TV2 anymore… I need to find work.’
There’s more at the link.
Sounds like he should be on CNN. Don’t they have a section called ‘Breaking Wind News’?

Seriously, his last name is Horvath? Shades of Jame Retief… *chuckle*
