A Local News Photo Editor Been Had Fired

Enhance...

Enhance...

In the lazy, over-reliant-on-Google-Images, zero-attention-to-detail, epically bad-at-his-or-her-job Local News Photo Editor's defense, Krispy Kreme donuts are very good. When you put them in your mouth. And swallow. (Sorry.)

Kudo's for the person who picked up on that. I usually don't look at news images long enough to read the fine print, but I will now.

Good work, Gabe. This story's only 2 years old.

Anyone know how the election went? Did McCain win?

Hey. HEY! As a Local News Photo (Well, Video) Editor, I take offense. This was likely the gaffe of a 5 O'clock Producer Cad. Also, there really aren't such things as Photo Editors for TV news, there, big boy. Yep. That just happened.

Gabe, my knowledge of the business is so good, you'll... WELL, YOU KNOW.

I hope you were being ironic...but I'm gonna pretend you weren't cause it's funnier that way.

...and yeah, I always picture officer Thorny with the "enhance" line and then I wildly and aimlessly type the keyboard before scrolling down to the next picture.

Gotta love when unexpected things happen on TV; especially when they're subtle. Thanks mystery hero.

I don't know if it makes any point, but that airing is years old.
Most Krispy Kreme's have long since closed down, at least in the New York area.

Did you see the "airing"? Regardless whether there are any remaining in your area, there are Krispy Kremes still serving their airy warm sugar bombs across this nation, including, according to the Interwebs, in Augusta.
