We definitely feel bad for the innocent people who were thrown seriously embarrassing curveballs on live TV. They didn’t deserve it. We will, however, shake our heads and roll our eyes relentlessly at the reporters or interviewees who made complete fools of themselves. Whether they were unprepared or just made a horrible split-second decision, that moment will haunt them forever.
Especially since good people like us keep blasting it out there years later.
