Warming Glow is a blog dedicated to the best and worst of television programming. Mostly the worst.


04.09.09 WATCH THIS IMMEDIATELY

ann-bruno

A Rhode Island costume shop owner named Ann Bruno was arrested on charges of cyberstalking a local competitor.  Police claim that she signed her competitor up for various “inquires and questions, debt-relief programs, which later on resulted in her receiving an abundance of telephone calls at her place of business.”  

So investigative reporter Jim Taricani of NBC-10 went to interview Bruno.  And that’s when Internet history was made.  Bruno alternately claimed a monster mask was her face and danced around in an Easter Bunny furry suit.  YOU MUST WATCH THE VIDEO IMMEDIATELY.  Here’s a sample:

Taricani: Seriously, ma’am, I wanted to ask you about the police charging you with cyberstalking.
Bruno: (Easter Bunny dances and waves arms)

It’s like a “Saturday Night Live” skit, except really funny.  Go watch it now.  Your day is about to get 1000% better.

UPDATE: Videos — yes, plural — after the jump.

That is absolutely fall out of my chair hilarious. This is why local news is some of the funniest shit on TV.

I’m impressed she was able to rob him of the quiet dignity normally associated with investigative reporters on local news stations.

Warming Glow – I think you’ve found your site mascot: Officer Bootsy.

Hailing from the biggest little state in the Union myself, I can assure all of you that people like this are found in abundance there. Crazy is in the water. And be thankful that we didn’t see her face.

I once had a patrol partner just like Officer Bootsy…except I got to be one wearing the Easter Bunny costume.

I like to imagine local news people as really self-serious college students who walked around in blue blazers with brass buttons acting all smart, and then after they’ve sacrificed but acting smarmy instead of eating pizza and getting shitfaced every night, they wake up as adults and suddenly their job involves interviewing the Easter Bunny about “alleged cyberstalking.” (seriously, where is that news? “Hello, channel 8? This bitch won’t stop emailing me! What do I do???”

So if you DO understand your rights and the charges being brought against you… hop up and down TWICE.

That’s what I picture happening right before you wake up tied to a chair in a musty basement with boarded up windows.

“Matt Lauer would’ve been better…”

Not only is this lady witty enough to pull that line just before they turned the camera off, but she’s completely and totally correct.

I would’ve wet myself if it were a Gumbel or a Lauer behind that mike.

…and the paper-mache SpongeBob mounted on top of the car in the first shot of the video should’ve let us all know we were going to Awesome Town.

This lady knew exactly what she was doing. She was making fun of the Cranston police on national t.v. for their stupidity. She was later exonerated and all charges were dropped when the police found out that the victim gave a false police report to get back at this bunny.
Now the victim is facing charges. It seems that the Bunny lady never even called the victim or was never typing her name in the library. After all that, police found that the computer did not show Bruno typing Sissons name.
Good for Bruno
That was genius.
Who the hell does that reporter think he is.

What a stupid woman. If you’re going to go through the trouble of doing that kind of stuff you are never supposed to use the local library unless you absolutley have to and if/when you do go through some damn proxy servers first. The best method is to hijack off of someone else’s wireless using a cloned mac address that cannot be traced to anything stupid ass bitch.
