Laughing at Themselves

On Thursday, FTVLive told you how KPRC in Houston made a bit of a mistake in their graphic:

After FTVLive posted the story, it did not take long to go viral and a number of other media outlets picked up on it and people on social media also weighed in.

But give KPRC credit, they owned up to their slip up (get it? Slip?banana) and now they are trying to take their banana mistake and make some banana pie.

The station is offering up banana face masks for sale and they say, “We’re making a banana-inspired facemask that you can buy and all the proceeds will go to the Houston Food Bank.” They add, “Text “feedhou” to 41444, and put the codeword “banana” in the notes section of the donation page. With your donation of $20 or more, we will mail you a banana face mask.”

Here is their artist’s rendering of what it will look like:
