CNN has the wrong idea about what they're serving on Northwest Airlines flights
Oh, Zain Verjee. It's not your fault. We all make mistakes. Even sometimes twice in one report.
It doesn't help that the headline at the bottom there says "Nuts On Northwest Flights." Not those kind of nuts, CNN!
Transcript:
"Well, peanuts are now on Northwest Airlines' snack menu, and travelers with allergies are flooding the carrier with complaints about the change. Northwest began serving penis -- peanuts this month as its merger partner, Atlanta based Delta Airlines has done for years. Georgia is the top penis -- pre -- pre -- peanut-producing state in the country ..."
We know. This is shameless. It's an honest mistake ... but this is what the internet is for. Otherwise, you might have seen that on CNN and never known if anyone else did.
This is almost as funny as the time she was choking on Skittles on-air (after the jump).

P.S. Keep it up, Georgia!

Kudos to her for continuing and not making a big deal out of it on-air.

And here I thought Texas was the top penis-producing state in the country......

It still is.

If people were allergic to penis, do you think they would have gotten as many complaints?
KCC, you rock! If not the most, the biggest! Right behind Wyoming.

For all the left wing weenies at CNN only tofu and bean sprouts should be served but only after a feng shui master has rearranged the cabin.

Tried to watch the skittles vid but it's been removed from YouTube "for terms of use violation", so everybody better get their fill of "peanuts" before they yank that one, too.
And no, I didn't mean "yank" like THAT....

This Blog is such a joke. Lets make fun of someone with an accent that peanuts sound like penis. This f*king blog should be shut down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey John--she corrected herself so it wasn't an "accent", she misspoke. If you shut down every video website which showed videos featuring newscaster gaffes there wouldn't be any left on the web. Get a sense of humor you penis.

What a slut! She dreams of penis, penis and more penis!

What do youe expect from the liberal journalistically dead network? CNN is junk news and an Obama stooge!
Mike Feb 22nd 2009 10:10PM
You jealous dummy. Obama hasn't even done anything yet to attract that kind of animosity.
The Republicans lost, and considering 9/11, the Iraq War, Katrina, the 2000 and 2004 elections, most of the last 8 years and the campaign they ran, THEY DESERVED IT.

I am sick to death of people whining about peanut allergies. The number of people with "life threatening"
peanut allergies is MINUTE.
Peanut Allergy is the most prevalent food allergy in the US, where as many as 1.5 million people suffer from the disease (American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology). (Most are children who outgrow it)
Peanut Allergy is the most common cause of food related death (Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America). Approximately 100 people in the U.S die every year from an adverse peanut allergy reaction (Food Allergy & Anaphylaxis Network).
There are about 304 MILLION people in the US.
Why should everyone else have to be denied peanuts because this tiny group has a problem? They need to learn to manage it and carry medication if needed.

Oh, those Freudian slips. Just hate 'em, don't you?
Mike Feb 22nd 2009 10:10PM
I'll have the sausage, the clams, some buns, some melons and rump roast. Hehe seems kiddie humor never stops, huh? AOL is so immature.
Dave Miedema Feb 22nd 2009 10:35PM
PENIS?!? TWICE?!? She's gotta be a liberal!
Jimmy Dorsey Feb 22nd 2009 10:20PM
Simple solution! If you are allergic to peanuts do not eat them!
masanddjs Feb 23rd 2009 1:06AM
All you have to do is be within the vicinity of peanuts to have severe reactions. They never have to cross your lips. It's an airborne allergy, as well.

On a recent JetBlue flight from Ft. Lauderdale to LaGuardia an announcement was made at the gate that there would be a child onboard with a severe peanut allergy. They said no peanut products should be consumed on the aircraft for the safety of the child. Additionally, any JetBlue snack containing peanuts would not be served. Once we boarded, the anti-peanut announcement was made again. After the in-flight beverage service we were just basically sitting there chilling out and waiting to get home. I then noticed the flight attendant having a snack in the galley, but facing the passengers. I was in the second row, aisle seat. She was eating celery with PEANUT BUTTER. She had a couple of peanut butter tubs and was filling the celery sticks with them. I could smell the peanut butter. I was flabbergasted! Once she was done, she did not wash her hands, then she came around with a garbage bag to pick up any trash that people might still have. I tapped her arm and asked her how long till we land. She leaned into my face and said "about 30 minutes" - she reaked of PEANUT BUTTER. Now, how do they justify these announcements when their own staff do not follow the rules? She technically had peanut butter on her hands, how about if she had to approach the allergic child? Some of those allergies are so fatal that even inhaling peanut breath can cause illness (no joking). The reason why I didn't say anything is that these flight attendants can get so snippy and nasty and the last thing I need is to be blacklisted or be accused of "interfering with the flight". Jacqueline, shame on you!

I wonder if Annie Scott would find similarly amusing a male news anchor's gaffe that illegal immigrants were entering "VAGINA," instead of VIRGINIA, or that a "VULVA," instead of a "VOLVO," was seen speeding away from a crime scene?

I can't believe some of the ignorant people in this country, it seems that every post that comes around no matter what tye subject is, some idiot has to change the subject to politics (blaming Bush or Obama for everything). One group blames every incident on the Republicans and other blames the Demacrats, you people are sick and in need of medical attention. Stick to the subject at hand and leave your ignorant political oppinions to yourselves.
