I know things are bad right now, the economy is slowly reviving despite the constant Republican attacks. But can things get so bad that a weatherman feels the need to pick up food off the floor and shove it in his mouth… on camera?
And to make this unbelievable story even worse… the Connecticut weatherman thought he was shoving food in his mouth, but it turned out to be cat vomit.
Scot Haney was running through Wednesday morning’s show with fellow stars at Hartford CBS affiliate WFSB when he spotted what he thought was food on the floor.
Believing it to be Grape-Nuts, he broke the three-second rule to scoop it up and shovel it into his mouth.
It was only as he began chewing the droplets that he started to gag — telling viewers across Connecticut it “tastes like shoes” and “smells like feet.”
With his face pulling all sorts of strange expressions, he then said: “Oh. I don’t think those are Grape-Nuts. I think that might be dog doody.”
The repulsive truth, however, was finally revealed minutes later as Haney presented his “What’s Trending Now” segment of the show.
“Ladies and gentlemen, those were not Grape-Nuts that I ate. I kept finding more and more of it on the floor, and I thought it was grape nuts because it looked just like it,” he said.
“My cat threw up, and I must have stepped in it and that’s what I ate,” he confessed to camera.
Really? This must be a common routine fir the guy. Who picks up food off the floor?
