Live television is one of the Internet’s most precious resources, because human error so often works its way into the spotlight. In this video, the station cuts away from “Good Morning America” to provide live coverage of a bridge implosion scheduled for 7:00 a.m. But it doesn’t implode, so they banter while the camera stays fixed on the bridge. Then they kill some more time, then some more, and then a little more before finally cutting away to the weatherman and then AW DAMMIT!

It really is amazing the way they manage to screw it up. I guess the show’s producers can put “picture-in-picture technology” on their Christmas wish list.

There’s been more TV stuff than I can cover over the last two days, so let’s play a little catch-up, starting with the live TV interview with the drunk lady who admitted to mixing up the brake pedal and the… the.. what’s it called? GAS! The gas pedal. Well played, Florida. We eagerly await Ohio’s response.

Two beavers are better than one. Here’s the music video for “Two Beavers” performed by Robin Sparkles (Cobie Smulders) and Jessica Glitter (Nicole Scherzinger) during last night’s “How I Met Your Mother.” [NY Mag]

The new Teen Wolf is a lacrosse douche. The trailer for MTV’s “Teen Wolf.” Basically, it looks like someone held up a DVD of Teen Wolf and said, “I want this to look like ‘Vampire Diaries’.” [The Sun]

E! is BARELY blurring tits these days. This footage of window washers just “happening” upon a topless Kendra is one of the fakest reality scenes I’ve seen in a long time. On the plus side, her breasts are barely pixelated. [Guyism]

Easy Christmas gift. Sterling’s Gold — the faux memoirs of Roger Sterling (John Slattery) on “Mad Men” — is now  for sale. Full of witticisms like, “When God closes a door, He opens a dress.” I wish. [Brain Pickings]

Ladies and gentlemen of the Internet, meet your new king. Antoine Dodson had a nice run, but there’s a new gay man on the local news to be auto-tuned, and he LOVES sequins.

This news report comes from King 5 in Seattle, and it starts out as the dullest news story ever made: it’s about people shopping at Goodwill’s annual designer event. But then our intrepid reporter goes for the man-on-the-street interview, plucks Eyebrows McSleeveless from the crowd, and asks him what he’s doing. “Tons of f*cking sequins!” is his natural response on live television, because — let’s face it — he’s doing tons of f*cking sequins. I know it’s wrong to swear on live TV, but I think he deserves a pass. Let he who has not been euphoric about an influx of sequins cast the first stone.

This is a glorious disaster from the 11 a.m. newscast on Channel 10 in San Diego (an ABC affiliate). Everyone here — from the on-air “talent” to the camera operators to the producers — manages to screw up some way in the first minute, and it’s a delight to watch.

Also, according to the ticker, Jon Stewart is going to host the Oscars, so this video is probably pretty old even though it was uploaded to YouTube just two days ago. That, or the guy who runs the ticker was having an off day, too.

This is a clip from Monday’s finale of “Australia’s Next Top Model.” In a beautiful twist of live television, host Sarah Murdoch pulled an epic pump-fake: she mistakenly told the runner-up that she was the winner.

During the live TV finale, Murdoch announced 19-year-old Kelsey Martinovich was the new catwalk queen, defeating runner-up Amanda Ware — and proceeded to let Kelsey celebrate and even give a brief victory speech.

However, moments later, Murdoch became quiet and a shocked look came over her face as she listened to producers in her ear tell her she said the wrong name. [Yahoo]

I have to say, Kelsey handles it well. Murdoch is completely mortified by her mistake, and Kelsey — the girl who just got gut-punched — ends up consoling her. She seems so understanding, non-judgmental, and accepting of disappointment. Coincidentally, that’s everything I look for in a sex partner.

(Note: Don’t miss Amanda’s reaction at 1:55. Best part of the video.)
