The Weatherman and the Breast
Longtime weatherman Chris Allen was reprimanded recently for “acting in a juvenile and unprofessional manner”, Vice President Rick McCue of WBKO-TV in Kentucky said.
A video of Allen has recently hit the internet, showing him clowning around in front of a background picture of a woman and her breast (see picture above), with the title “Breast Milk Donors”.
The tape was recoded some years ago, but stolen by an employee and posted to the internet.
In the video, a grinning Allen is seen to lick the nipple and squeeze the breast while making honking noises, whistling and laughing.
The statement made by the station included the following apology from Allen:
“This video - which was never intended to be seen outside of the station - was part of a joke that was played on me during a lighter moment off the air several years ago. I regret that a former employee has decided it is something that everyone should see and took the liberty of posting it on the internet,” Allen said. “I am embarrassed by the whole ordeal and humbly apologise for anyone offended by my actions.”
The video has subsequently been removed from YouTube and Google Video as the station considers the tape to be copyright.
