    Her dispensary is now the most famous in Alaska ... and she left a job on her terms. I love it.

    What was almost as funny as the anchor's reaction was the station announcing her "termination" later.

    Director--I quit!

    Curly--You can't quit!

    Director--And why not?

    Moe--Cause you're fired!

    Curly--You can't fire him!

    Moe--Why not?

    Curly--He quit!

    I'm more offended by her selfish, unprofessional behavior than that particular word choice.

    Yeah, she's not really helping the cause.

    It always bothers me whenever any news professional uses their position for personal stuff like this. Have a little respect for the audience.

    That goes for their bosses, too.

    She appears to be 26, maybe 27. Could be the love child.

    Agree.

    The word "fuck" has lost its shock value and offensiveness. I've heard it so much, it's no more offensive than "damn it" or "hell."

    Agreed. And as someone who produces a daily newscast, I suspect my immediate reaction would be to call back to the newsroom to let her know she'd better be the fuck out of the building by the time I got out of the control room.
