The flying saucer allegedly containing a 6-year-old Colorado boy captivated TV viewers nationwide yesterday. Now we know the boy was hiding in the attic the whole time.

The family appeared on “Today” this morning, and Meredith Vieira grilled the boy’s father about the situation and whether it was a hoax.

Oh, and the boy vomited. Right there on the “Today” show.

Ernie Anastos of Fox affiliate WNYW was bantering with the weatherman Wednesday night when he cheerfully dropped an F-bomb on the air. What he likely intended to say was, “Keep plucking that chicken.”

Anastos didn’t appear to recognize the error, though co-anchor Dari Alexander’s eyes bugged out after he said it.

Jordan Renken’s car was towed. So hee decided it would be fun to stick it to The Man and pay the $88 impound fee entirely in pennies.

One hour and seven cops later, hilarity ensues.

The incident even led WCTV’s (Tallahassee, Fla.) newscast.

Actually, the on-air marriage proposal is all we’ll be covering today.

A colleague just sent me a link to this video from KARK-TV, featuring a reporter he went to college with.

And, at 2:13, it’s quite possibly the longest local-news segment ever.

Shame on you, Todd from Fox 8 News.

I’m not a broadcast meteorology professional, but I’m pretty sure one of the first things they teach you is not to wear green.
