VIDEO: Fox reporter tasting hurricane sludge is not very smart

When going to journalism school, one of the first rules you are taught should be, “Don’t eat random objects just to try to make for a better live report.” FOX reporter Tucker Barnes missed that bulletin…now watch him eat possibly poisonous foam created by Hurricane Irene.

Screen Shot 2011 08 29 at 10.14.29 AM 135x95 VIDEO: Fox reporter tasting hurricane sludge is not very smart When I’m under a deluge from a foreign substance during the middle of a disaster that people were panicking over (justifiably or not), my first instinct would not be able to taste random viscous liquids blowing up onto the shore. But maybe I’m just innocent like that.

Either way, I look forward to Tucker Barnes’ forthcoming endeavors as a super hero. If you can’t catch superpowers from recklessly eating toxic sludge like it’s a cheese plate at a wine tasting, I don’t want to be alive.
