A Fox News reporter in Baltimore has been sacked after posting a video on YouTube that featured an off-colour remark.
Reporter John Sanders inserted words "bright blue scrotum" from a report about a monkey into a report discussing US Attourney-General Eric Holder, then posted it on YouTube.
The voice on the video, John Gibson, is furious. He and the station are being bombarded with hundreds of abusive comments from the public who are unaware the video is a fake.

The part that has me shaking my head though - this is being branded a racist remark. WHAT THE? I suppose people are jumping from the fact that it was about a monkey, to the fact that Eric Holder is black. HELLO PEOPLE - the comment was about BLUE. Feel free to get all uppity and offended at the plight of the blue people of this world. Or the poor monkeys being associated with humans. But otherwise, find something useful to get enraged about, like knitting or something.
