The BBC is known for its prim and proper austerity and authority. But times change, and the people working at the British broadcaster have changed their attitude somewhat. Clearly.
This video shows the moment at which BBC weatherman Tomasz Schafernaker is caught on camera giving the finger to BBC News anchor Simon McCoy. Well, kind of.
He actually begins the process but changes his mind when he realizes the camera has switched to him. So he scratches his chin instead, making out that was his intention all along. But it clearly wasn’t.
The BBC has now apologized after Sky News picked up on the incident and blew it out of all proportion. As they would, with the intent to discredit the BBC for their own ends.
But I applaud Schafernaker, because not only has he got a brilliant name, he also refused to stand for McCoy’s snide comments. good for him.
