What the hell is an "em-joy"?
Veronica - forever the Mean Girl, De La Cruz, couldn't just let the misspeak slide. Instead, VDLC felt the need to close the segment by "correcting" Melissa as if it were a casual aside... #PettyCruz should learn to play nice - the viewers notice.
She said "emoji." Emoji - a small digital image or icon used to express an idea, emotion, etc., in electronic communication.
ReplyDeleteC'mon Rich, get with the times!
I saw that live. I thought KPIX should not have hidden Melissa behind a desk. She looks like a million...put her standing in front of a greenscreen. We can then see all of her.
ReplyDeleteThere weren't enough seats at the conference table. They weren't even trying hard to lie!
ReplyDeleteI emjoyed that post. ;-)
What the heck was up with Roberta this morning? She seemed so frantic--yes, I know this is supposed to be a big storm, but she was acting like it was the end of the world, stumbling over words and making all sorts of dramatic pronouncements and gestures. I'm sure management's telling her to do this, to "sell" harder.

I just watched the link @10:57 posted. Wow, you'd think we were expecting a torrential hurricane the way Roberta breathlessly and frantically delivered the incoming rain. Calm down, it's only a little California rainstorm.

Roberta has a tendency to get like that when a Big Storm is hitting the Bay Area...LOL! Roberta talks really Fast, and in a Monotone Voice, I wish She wouldn't do that, the Weather really speaks for itself?! But Roberta get excited about the Storms, hence the drama!
I remember a few years back when they shut down all the Schools in the Bay Area, because we were supposed to have a Weather System coming in that was going to be short of a Hurricane...Roberta got into it again, and the weather system turned out to be nothing but a little spritz! Calm down Robert!!!
She's a Georgia peach married to Herb Caen's son. People want to know.
ReplyDeleteI thought Veronica's correction was as unoffensive as possible, while still not simply letting "emjoy" slide ...
ReplyDeleteYeah this was definitely not nearly as bad as the above blog post made it sound
DeleteI was watching that live, too. Caen pronounced emoji as "M-Joy", and my immediate thought was, "Oh, God."
ReplyDeleteI'm glad VDLC corrected her.
I remember when Melissa first started. Green as could be and nice to everybody until she figured out who she absolutely *had* to be nice to, and then everybody else was feces, which is pretty much how it goes at PIX. Anyway she got coached on how to be a TV person, new hair, chopped the hyphenated name, and I'm sure her parents are proud. The rest of us? Meh.
ReplyDeleteEasy Stan she's no Heather Holmes.
ReplyDeletePete Wilson once did a similar "correction" with Wendy Deer-in-the-Headlights Tokuda.
ReplyDeleteI admit I was disappointed at Caen's reporting efforts when breaking the Raiders story Tuesday night. Like a deer in the headlights.
ReplyDeleteHow could she not know how to pronounce "emoji"? Does Melissa still uses dial up?
ReplyDeleteDid not bother me in the least. MJOY??? She should have been corrected. I like it when it when VDL gets testy.
ReplyDeleteQuite the 'tude from VDLC at 0:35-0:41. She is a moody one.
ReplyDeleteVDLC can do any thing she wants. She's HOT!!!!
ReplyDeleteI used to think she was too, but the novelty wears off. It also depends on the angle as well. Same kind of effect as Kim Kardashian without all the makeup. Same thing for VDLC.

ReplyDeleteShe's OK...I've seen hotter younger pinays at the Serramonte Mall.
em-joy... really?!?!?! Someone must be living under a rock. VDLC handled it fine. The real headline here is a reporter saying "em-joy" on live TV. This is only the tech center of the world! Maybe she will call Vallejo "Valley-Joe" next!
ReplyDeleteNow I see Melissa Caen reporting in the field. Silly
