Viewers of ABC 24 nearly got more than they bargained for after a man wearing nothing but a robe and his underwear attempted to flash on live television on Friday.

The man is understood to have walked straight past the station’s security in the front foyer, towards the windows at the back of the set, before undoing his robe and revealing his underwear.

But the man failed to make an appearance on national television, with the ABC confirming checks of footage showed no sign of the man “or his briefs”.

News presenter Jane Hutcheon was on air at the time, believed to be interviewing Penny Wong.

Hutcheon later wrote on Twitter: “A man stripped to his underwear outside the studio while i was reading today. who was he?”

Police said they were not called to the ABC studios.

An ABC spokeswoman said: “We have checked our footage and can’t see any evidence of the man in question going to air. The ABC has security procedures in place to deal with any inappropriate incidents that occur in the atrium, but those procedures weren’t required on this occasion.”

COMMENT:

Seriously folks…I mean…fuck me!  What the fuck is this?  A man in his underpants is NEWS?  I mean, seriously, did they call out the armed forces?  Did they scour the neighbourhood?  Were the underpants clean?  And will there soon be another daring attempt on live television?

These questions must be answered, folks.

I mean…fuck me!  How many women’s panties have I seen with very little and often no effort.  Hundreds!  Just yesterday I was riding a train.  A woman was seated nearby.  She wore a short skirt (surprise) which kept riding up her thighs (surprise) and she, in a show of modesty, kept pulling the hems back down (we’ve all seen that before) and in order to do that she LIFTED the hem first, allowing a good view of her zebra striped panties.  Did she know she was doing that?  She would have to be awfully dumb not to know.  And she repeated that move about 4-5 times just between two train stops.

All I can say is that Jane Hutcheon knows a story when she sees one, even if there isn’t one, and…as for the second girl, she had dreadful taste in panties.
