One of my favorite ones was a report on wkmg in orlando a few years back about political unrest in the galapagos islands at the end of the report the news caster mentioned how the galapagos islands are famous for their animals and the proceeded to mention chimps, elephants and I think antelopes or gazelles(don't remember exactly which one now.) I was rolling on the floor laughing so hard I almost wet myself. That report came about 2 days after a report telling us that nile monitors weigh up to 200 hundred pounds along with some other ridiculous facts about them that had the same effect. At the time they had a nile running around an orlando suburb called cassleberry so I was keeping track of the story. That galapagos story with references to african animals was just over the top though. Too the newscasters credit he read it without missing a note but I really wondered what kind of idiots they had behind the scenes and if they were screwing with the newscaster or just plain stupid.
