The legend reportedly started the beginning of 2014, when a TV reporter covering the search for a missing woman, not realizing the camera was still on, said "y'know what I would do?" when the woman was found, "well, I'd (proceed to have blatant s_x with her)"! Then, a month later, some raggedy-looking street urchin crashed a Cincinnati correspondent's live shot, apparently daring this other guy to do just that. Several more uses have apparently ensued prior to the one in Toronto mentioned here. BTW, the guy that was fired, whatever he is, apologized to the CityNews reporter. <http://www.citynews.ca/2015/05/15/fired-hydro-one-employee-apologizes-to-shauna-hunt/> (link) I wonder if cops/anyone else that may have analyzed the video footage, found out the identity of the passerby who originally uttered the phrase. Based on earlier info, he's due some kind of action. B -- -- TV or Not TV .... The Smartest (TV) People!
