Headline: "Local Air Traffic Controller Suspended for Watching Movie"
In its release, the FAA said the following:
"During the early morning hours of April 17, 2011, an air traffic controller at the Cleveland Air Route Traffic Control Center was watching a movie on a portable electronic device while working a radar position. For a little more than three minutes, the controllers microphone was inadvertently activated, transmitting the soundtrack of the movie over the radio frequency for that airspace. The problem was brought to air traffic controls attention by the pilot of a military aircraft using an alternate frequency. The controller has been suspended from operational duties pending an investigation. FAA policy prohibits the use of portable DVD players and other devices from being used on the floor of the radar room."
Hmmmm, what ever could he have been watching?

Seriously dude?
CINCINNATI -- Reds pitcher Mike Leake was arrested on a shoplifting charge at a downtown department store Monday, accused of trying to steal six shirts with a total value of $59.88.
surely they were watching something with "Rippin & Tearin baby...Rippin and Tearin!"
He was totally watching Pushing Tin. Horrible movie, should've been fired for that alone.

I was waiting for that one....
Another candidate for parent of the year.

how do they not report what movie he was watching? that's terrible journalism-- i'm sure that's what everyone wants to know.
Redskins/Giants at FedEx on the 10th Anniversary of 9/11.
i trust that the skins' ownership will handle that with quiet dignity
They are building a to scale model of the pentagon in the parking lot and having Brian Orakpo tackle a fake plane just before impact.
i like it, but i'm worried it's too subtle
The Redskins are also playing the Bills...in Toronto. Zman, I'll meet you there.
It's a date.
mustard stains are pretty easy to get out of wool blend pants, right?
My kid cries hysterically every time Toney Douglas shoots, to the point where he is not susceptible to the 5 S's.
ray allen, you crafty old dive-taking veteran
Worse ears: Ronan Tynan or Jorge Posada?
i hope you're watching the 4th quarter of celtics/knicks
Melo is the tits.
First 40-point playoff game for a Knick since Ewing in 1990.
Yeah, it's an okay game. I guess.
And Carmelo's decent too.
I dropped 40 every week as a Nick, however.
Paul Pierce is at least the nipples.
rondo is the boobies
That's some of the most blatantly obvious double team defense I've seen. And the Knicks nearly couldn't make Boston pay. Luckily, somebody besides Melo can make a layup.
Surprised to see KG get the call there. Glad he didn't settle for the fadeaway from the baseline though.
the fuck are the knicks doing not fouling right away?
Melo is now the taint.
I can't believe Jeffries didn't go up with the ball right away.
At least a new episode of "16 and Pregnant" is on at 10.
Jeffries wanted no part of another shot in the final 30 seconds. He didn't even want the layup he made. Doc thoroughly outcoached D'Antoni down the stretch. Better players help though.
Geoff's comment at 5:43pm last evening still has me laughing.
Teedge, you were the intended audience for said comment. I wanted to also work in an OJ reference but it seemed forced.
I'm still pissed about last night's Knick game, and my pissed offedness is compounded by their loss in Game 1. I haven't been this annoyed by a Knick game since Charles Smith's 1993 performace at the end of Game 5 against the Bulls.
This is good. It means that I really give a shit about pro basketball again. It's been a while.
Zman - you should not let this Knicks team get to you. They are not good and never had a chance of ousting the Celtics, despite a pair of close road losses.
Things should remain unstable for the franchise this offseason, as Walsh likely leaves. I also expect D'Antoni to bolt if Walsh's replacement isn't Bryan Colangelo.
Our best bet #1a would be for the Colangelo/D'Antoni pair to re-captures some of the success those Suns teams head.
Other best bet would be for JVG to come back to NYC.
Not my best proofreading job.
Maybe Isiah will come back and lead the Knicks to the promised land.
If last place = the promised land, I think you may be correct.
It would be funny if it wasn't a real possibility.
I had a conversation this morning with a Celtics fan (with whom I am 2 games away from losing a bet) and he concluded that I sound like a Red Sox fan circa 1999/2000.
Isaiah is already back and casusing problems.
I really think Paris Hilton may be smarter than Jimmy Dolan in the battle of the trust fund minds.
The returns are early, but the fifth installment of the Fast and the Furious franchise is clocking an 86% on Rotten Tomatoes. Just sayin'...
is that good or bad?
/shakes fist at you kids and your interwebz
Z-Man, what did Celtic boy mean by that? What were 2000 Red Sox fans like? Whiny d-bags lamenting that the "big bad yankees" spent too much money and got every break?
The douchieness that the last ten years of Pats/Celts/Sox has bestowed upon their fans cannot be understated.
hi marls! go fuck yourself!
Hi Rob!!!
I really don't include you in that mix since you are only a fan of one of the teams. Combine that with the fact that your W&M/Bullets/Redskins fandom keeps any of unfettered baggadocio in check. However, if you want to lump yourself in there, who am I to stop you?
glad we got that cleared up
I would not want to piss off the Tiny D.
braggadocio -> baggadocio -> bag of douche.
Do you get Marls' subtle dig at you yet, Rob?
The use of "douche" is running high here today. Won't all the ghooglers looking for feminine products be surprised.
unfettered douches, at that.
real coincidence that kq and shlara have been scarce around here lately. way to go, you misogynistic bastards.
$73.57 to fill up my tiny car with gas. Go eff yourself, oil.
I am off to Rangers/Capitals for work. As an Islanders fan, who to root for is a real issue.
I think I am just going to root for a Sean Avery injury.
The Celtic fan (who is also a Red Sox fan) meant that I sounded like a Sawks fan circa 1999/2000 because I had this stupidly unrealistic hope, bordering on fantastical expectation, that my raggedy Knicks would win a playoff series when any rational human being would clearly see that they were doomed.
Marls - just root for short beer lines and fights.
red stag, by jim beam? the fuck?
and nice gack by the caps
at least make things interesting, denver
So who woke up the Caps?
I suspect that Messier doesn't employ a stylist.
