Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.
No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.
Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.
Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.
No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Here in Vancouver, Canada many years ago one of the morning show hosts dressed in a beaver suit with a big sign asking to buy heroin and went down to the east side and bought heroin live on air, then got handcuffed for buying drugs on air at 7 in the morning.
They went on a "totally planned vacation for a few days" after that incident.
Please let there be a video of this on the web somewhere
No, there is not. There is some video of him in the costume but not doing the actual drug deal. There were two cops listening live and tracked him down pretty quickly. To this day he won't talk about it at all. While the other two hosts will kind of giggle about it. They won't outright talk about it, mostly it is mentioned about how much trouble they got in, along with how many other times they got suspended for a few days for doing other bits that went too far in their boss's eyes.
Why did he do this? And why did it have to be done while wearing a beaver suit?
They did it as a comedy bit. It was funny, they did it also to show how ridiculously easy it was to buy drugs in the downtown Eastside when even a guy being so blatant and showy could get heroin in less than 10 mins.
With almost all media being on-demand now, this is something I miss from live entertainment being mainstream. All the fun, shared moments from everybody tuning in at the same time.
I guess you can still get that experience with sports (or maybe live-streaming?) but it doesn't feel the same.

Haha, I can totally read it in his voice now

But do you know who DIDN'T need to shriek their head off?
Reminds me of Mori Calliopeʼs 2021-12-22 primal scream over Adam Sandler jokes. “That was a blood-curdling scream. 大丈夫？”
