On the Fourth Day of Hanukkah, We Did it in the Road


The image to the right is an actual screen shot from KABC-TV's coverage of the recent Malibu fires. And this is what the viewer who took the picture wrote:

As we sat glued to television news coveage of the recent Malibu fire on the morning of Saturday, 24 November, 2007 to see if our area was in danger (fortuantely, winds blew the conflagration away from us and towards the ocean), one or more of thse factors produced some rather amusing (and risque) captioning. As a reporter from Los Angeles' KABC-TV was explaining how important it is for residents to evacuate fire areas when asked to do so because such prompt compliance allows firefighters to deal with just the fire and not also with "people in the road evacuating," the captioning (as shown in the still frame displayed above) reflected a distinctly different climax to that statement.
