AWKS: ‘The Project’ Accidentally Photobombs Own Story With Big-Hair Baby

Obviously you saw this photo when you clicked on the story but please take a moment to look at this again – look at this goddamn baby’s giant hair:
That baby has the hair volume of someone easily ten times its age, and the confident eyes of someone who is fully aware of that. Straight up, it is a ridiculous baby.
The baby became the star of tonight’s episode of ‘The Project‘ after they ran a brief story on the weirdly hirsute 8 week old, and Peter Helliar decided (rightly) that it would be a hilarious joke to cut back to it in every subsequent story, pretending that it was going to be some relevant image.
It backfired on them however after they somehow managed to insert it into one of their serious stories – mysteriously foreshadowed by Carrie Bickmore who looked at their list of stories halfway through the episode and said that some wouldn’t be appropriate.
The fuckup came when they were talking very seriously about the crazy, misogynistic backlash Kim K has been getting for the horrible transgression she committed by getting robbed. While discussing how gross it is that people feel so comfortable making jokes about a woman being threatened, bound, gagged and robbed, they somehow swapped their camera feed for the baby pic, leaving their US correspondent to keep talking while some of the crowd nervously giggled.
They’ve not put the video up (because, duh), but Waleed did clarify at the end that it was not a joke in incredibly poor taste:
“Obviously there was a little technical issue in the middle of that. We need to point out that was not remotely deliberate.”

Goddamn, that’s baby’s hair is big.
