Did you hear Kate Garraway's 'quip' this morning regarding the Tsunami in Japan?

On Daybreak at around 6.10am the presenters were discussing the headlines and newspaper stories with their colleagues. When they were looking at the pictures in the newspapers of the devastation in Japan Kate remarked "it looks like when Billy throws his toys around the room".

Whaaat?!
Small Balls - I think the point of my being up at 6am (5.45 actually) is that I'm out of the house too often. It's called working.
It's one thing to make jokes in private with similarly thinking friends/colleagues/family, and another to air your jokes on TV when the disaster is ongoing. Apparently there's a high chance of another major quake in the next three days.

I agree she's a buffoon - she laughs like a donkey at her own unfunny jokes and interrupts her co-presenters. Perhaps that's why I prefer Daybreak to GMTV as she's been demoted to an entertainment presenter, so she's usually not 'on the sofa'.
Tas- it isn't too bad from 6am - 6.45. No adverts or competition rubbish. 100% better than GMTV. However later on I've heard it's the same dismal GMTV.
Cass Adams - I noticed that too - it wasn't an authentic sad face was it?
 
insensitive stupid cow
my son got a stupid text message about the disaster from an absolute moron which annoyed me but for her to say this on live tv is shocking , lets hope she is reprimanded or sacked for sheer stupidity
 
Stop seeing insults where they don't exist. What Kate said was just another way of expressing 'total carnage'. She could, of course, just have said, 'it looks like total carnage' but instead she chose a euphemism that meant the same thing. No insults meant - no insults taken.
 
If she was watching the video pictures of the cars, lorries and trains strewn about, then she was making a good comparison.
 
I think it is a bit too early to joke about the Japan tsunami and earthquake. I think it is tasteless. Tens of thousands of people were likely killed, and a nuclear disaster is in the making.

To make light of the events is kind of insensitive in the extreme.

what a great news journalist, the woman is a complete buffoon, it just shows she has no empathy for the situation. Presumably she will now go the same way as Ally McCoist and Andy Gray. Or not, as the case is more likely to be.
 
I heard it, i thought it was out of order really.
And what was Christine doing with ehr 'pretend' sad face on all morning. She is not a serious broadcaster at all.
