Martineau-no

Tuesday, January 27, 2004

Matt points out this story today about newscaster Gord Martineau’s candid goofballing off air while the cameras still roll.

Well, the good people at Frank magazine have the clips.

Matt’s right. People shouldn’t find this offensive. Sure, it’s a private moment never meant to be aired, but like any of Dick Clark’s Bloopers, that doesn’t make it any less enjoyable. Seeing a public figure act like an ass is just plain fun to watch.

Besides, I’m sure Gord has thick skin. Thick, tanned, leathery skin.

Gord’s jokes aren’t even funny, LOL, I know better penis jokes and I have no penis.

His Roch Voisine impression was pretty on though.

What about the Regan Gaffe? The warm up for his State of the Union address was tested by himself at the podium stating things like “We have just launched our nuclear weapons at the USSR, the penultimate evil of our time.”

No Internet yet, but many got this test episode on their private dish reception.

That reminds me of the outtakes of Kasey Kasem swearing (boy, was he pissed off about something or other) that found their way into a Negativland remix. Never thought I’d hear that guy busting out the effenheimer so much...it was sort of unsettling, like seeing one of your grade school teachers drunk and freaking out.
