Jim Naughtie's 'naughty' C word gaffe!

[Professor6871]

I think he got it right the first time about Jeremy Hunt.

[baphomet66and6]

Hilarious, heard that on the 'Have I got [old] new for you' prog last night.

[Jmziecoupe]

LMFAO, sounds like hes taking a shit while talking about the news

[zXFreeStyleXz]

i'd just be like

[P1eski]

Gosh, that was funny! It reminds me of days I had 'coughing fits' during church sermons.

[marthafarquar]

Type in 'west kent hunt' - Nicky Campbell is comedy gold

[gliderama]

Hasn't the BBC turned against the public. Left wing fuckers.

[ambientend]

This is the perfect cross between those two Alan Partridge scenes; One where he is in bed with Jill, and the other on series two after he presents Dante Fires after piercing his foot on a spiiiike.

This has me weeping tears of laughter.

"It's eight 'o clock on Monday, the SIXTHHHH of December"

[SidVic40]

How he held it together is amazing. True professional but a gaffe of Duke of Edinburgh proportions.

[MrBuachailloneirne]

@SidVic40

Errr....he DIDN'T hold it together - didn't you listen?

[RWstunts]

@MrBuachailloneirne he didnt burst out laughing lol

[MrBuachailloneirne]

[ambientend]

[imloveridge]

[kobra867]

[Yogsyogster]

@kobra867 hes not trying not to laugh he's trying to pretend that he said "cunt" because he was coughing"

[Lomomn1324]

[Lomomn1324]

lol

[basil226]

Hunt is a member of the Tory government so it would be easy for anyone to make such a verbal slip up, surely!

[russhurley]

@basil226 hahaha

[russhurley]

ah man i'm addicted - got it on repeat. the man deserves a Sony Radio Award for this. CLIP OF THE YEAR!!!

[pigsy65]

He's a sports commentator talking about a new sport for men called 'hunt the c**t'.

[Toyota2MR]

Praise be to the Spooner God xx

[drmarrese101]

[ledge36935]

[russhurley]

[N4TH4N88]

lolzor

[kainy1234]

This put a big smile on my face when I heard it live as I drove to work :)

[TroChr]

I feel incredibly sorry for him. It was painful to listen to his obvious regret. He is an excellent broadcaster.

[russhurley]

@TroChr why do you feel sorry?

[russhurley]

@TroChr why do you feel sorry for him?

[TheDramaMonkey]

non-runner, I respectfully suggest that you're everso subtly missing the point.

[pafaye1]

2 hours since last post ???? Hard to believe. Obviously hasn't gotten "out" yet. George Carlin (God rest his soul) would have loved this! See an "Attach a video" icon to the right of this box - NOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo!!!!­!!!!!

[knightofcydonia07]

If you're going to corpse, you may as well do it as well as this.

[nonrunner]

Why is cunt such a bad word? its an ancient word that expresses female genitalia in a way that men find very scary so pervert it to a word of derision! All words giving status to women have been sexualised by the male linguistic oppression eg dame duchess queen etc Have CUNT am proud!!!!!

[russhurley]

@nonrunner C YOU NEXT TUESDAY

[orlando098]

@nonrunner

I don' t see why you have to read patriarchal oppression into it, it just shows how historically we are prudish about referring directly to words related to body functions like sex and going to the toilet. Words like shit, cock or fuck are other examples. Cunt is perhaps seen as especially strong as a throwback to Victorian ideas about ladylike refinement (making referring directly to women's private parts especially unacceptable). People were much more direct in the Middle Ages.

[orlando098]

@orlando098

For example, Chaucer uses it sometimes in the 14thC in the Canterbury Tales [eg. in the Miller's Tale: " And prively he caughte hire by the queynte"] and in London and York there were roads called Gropecunt Lane... (which have been renamed now)
