Happy Birthday, Dixie Normous!

LOL: a local news station with a viewer-birthday callout segment falls victim to one of the world's classic blunders: fake dirty names. Hey, people named "Mike Hunt" have birthdays too:

I love the (producer?) commentary in the background: "Melissa said don't use one, it was "Ben Dover." At least you caught that one. Good job, Melissa. Let's hope "Lou Briccant"'s party "went smooth."

Emersom Biggins?

If that's not fake then it's a horrible coincidence.

OMG! I just realized that many of those names sound like kind of lewd phrases! I must have watched this like 100 times before I noticed! Birthday Announcement Mystery: SOLVED. Videogum wins again.

I love that the dude picked it at some point and then couldn't help but trade the second h in poor Hugh's name for an e. That they played it straight for so long shows true newsreader talent!
