News Anchor Owen Conflenti Gives The Finger On Camera (VIDEO)


First Posted: 02/04/11 12:33 PM ET Updated: 05/25/11 07:30 PM ET

Just a few days after a local weatherman made a slip of the tongue and inadvertently gave an R-rated weather report, a Houston news anchor was caught in a Ron Burgundy moment as he appeared to give somebody off-camera the finger.

A few more bloopers like this and the FCC might go full Janet Jackson on local news programs.

It's the Comedy section bro...Garfield hating Monday's isn't exactly news-worthy either but it's in the paper everyday.

Hey, "bro," seems you could use a good dose of comedy. Resist the urge to take yourself so seriously, "bro." (You might not be quite as smart as you think.)

By the way, I've yet to see Garfield on the HuffPost page. Not newsworthy.

Tsk, Tsk. Turn the channel. This is just another example of the quality of today's anchors and of the news.

Oh My Gosh...Think of who could have been watching? The Children!!!! Then again, I'm sure they've seen or heard worse (and that's just from their parents).

While not professional, not a big deal in my book.
