‘Seriously?’: Reporter Refuses to Let Soccer Fans Get Away with FHITP prank.

Hunt was reporting outside a Toronto FC soccer match this week when one fan jumped into her live shot and delivered the charming catch phrase into her microphone. She immediately stopped what she was doing and confronted the group of men.

“Were you guys waiting around to see if you could ‘F her in the P’ me live on TV?” she asked them. When they answered affirmatively she asked, “You were? Seriously? Can I ask why you would want to do something like that?”

They mostly appeared too drunk to give her a coherent response, but Hunt kept it it. “No seriously, it’s a disgusting thing to say, it’s degrading to women and you would humiliate me on live television?” she asked them, saying she’s “sick” of hearing this type of thing on a regular basis. Then she shamed them for holding on to the tired, old meme, to which one guy replied, “It’s been like a year!”

Last fall, female journalists at the CBC penned an op-ed calling for the end of “FHRITP” pranks, calling them “violent and offensive” and saying those who engage in them suggest “that a woman who is doing what can be a pretty serious and intellectually rigorous job can be reduced to simply a sexual object which can be taken at will.”

That video is NEVER going away. There is no living that down. If those clowns aren't married yet, they may not ever be, now. If they are, ouch. I feel sorry for the females in their lives.

I've seen plenty of stupid but I could at least understand why idiots thought it was smart. In this case? I got nothing.
