I don’t know what’s funnier – that local NBC newscaster Sue Simmons dropped an f-bomb in a live promo spot for the 11:00 news on Monday night, or that the NY Times wrote a 2-page article about it.

Look, I know she’s a newscaster and should remain professional on the air. Apparently she wasn’t aware the promo spot was live – most of the time they are taped and edited later – so she slipped up. I’m sure plenty of newscasters and other on-air professionals do this all the time. And it’s not like you don’t hear the f-bomb dropped every day walking around New York City streets. Hell, you might even see it on this blog later today. Shocking!

In any case, she apologized. Let it go, NY Times. Find some other minor thing to make a fuss over.
