You know you have reached the slow Summer news cycle when a station starts doing stories on their own. 

WLOX (Biloxi, MS) did a story on Reporter AJ Giardina. 

AJ did not die, nor is her retiring. He's been there 39 years and not 40, so it's not like a big anniversary. But, they didn't stop the station doing a story about Giardina and how he likes to pull practical jokes. 

By the way, you might want to stand back.....because..... I SMELL AN EMMY! 

Update: Someone contacted us and says that Giardina is retiring. We don't know when.
