Back in the ’80s, Miami’s Channel 6 used to be a CBS affiliate with the call letters WCIX. Also, apparently, all of their reporters signed off with profanity-ridden slang catch phrases. Well, at least one did. And now, for some reason, more than two decades later, a blooper has hit…

We’d expect a poorly Photoshopped picture of President Barack Obama lip locking with Venezuela’s controversial leader Hugo Chávez to appear on some Miami Republican’s blog, not in an ad associated with a clothing company. Yet United Colors of Benetton is responsible for the bizarre image. It’s apparently supposed to get us…
