Local News Anchor Misjudges Width Of HD, Flips Off Co-Worker On Air

(By Mark Joyella, Mediaite) - Those extra-wide screens that give you so much real estate to watch football or Anderson Cooper getting punched also have a downside: if you’re a local news anchor and you want to casually flip off a co-worker while also doing the news, you’ve simply 'got' to remember where the shot ends. KPRC/Houston anchor Owen Conflenti apparently was operating on a 'standard def' landscape, and when he raised his middle finger during a morning newscast Monday, he kept his digit fully in frame for everyone watching in HD. Gotta love it.
