BBC News presenter Maryam Moshiri apologizes after flipping the middle finger live on air
Maryam Moshiri, the chief presenter at the British network, said she was "joking around a bit with the team" when she stuck up her middle finger just as the broadcast went to air.
Meh. Good for her for being a human being and not an automaton.
Yeah only uptight idiots would have a problem with this. Though in the US she'd probably be fired.
Yeah, I'd imagine only losers would have an issue with this.
I think that was cute honestly. Just good fun.
Go fuck yourselves San Diego.
I’m Ron Burgundy?
why did she do that in first place? what's the context? was she angery or joking?
They were joking around on set before the live program started, and either the festivities ran into airtime, or someone in the control room cut to her feed too soon.
Let me provide an example which I think captures the spirit of the interaction that took place on this fateful day:
Greg: Ay yo Jimmy boy!
Jimmy looks up, notices his friend Greg, flips him the bird.
Sounds about right. Similar to, hey Jimmy, Jimmy says what, Greg says fuck you.
Haha, hell yeah. She shouldn't even sweat it.
She was just waving hello (with an 80% discount)...
IF she was justified in doing it,
THEN I've no problem with it.
A bit of honesty in mass-media would be refreshing, you know??

That's classic British humor.
