During Katie Couric’s Olympic coverage in Italy for The Today Show, some birds decided to stop by and take a crap on her. It looks like the birds were part of some planned event to show how great Couric is with animals, but I don’t think anybody meant for them to get excited and take a dump on her. Or maybe NBC finally got my letters and decided to give America what it demands: things pooing on Katie Couric.
UPDATE: There’s finally video of the event and it looks like she didn’t actually get crapped on. Oh, the humanity.

italian birds rock

What an awesome jobs those bird did on that woman. Once upon a time Katie was a cutie and seemed nice but that was pre-NBC.
Other than Paris can there be a more annoying woman on the planet. If she was the only news (lol) person reporting on coming of Christ I woudn’t watch because I’m sure she would feel she was more important then Him.

mama mia! la pobrecita con la caca de los palomas! that’s what katie gets for being so darn phony!!! ok, i got that off my chest ;)

should have read “the second coming of Christ”

Glad to see the birds did what many only dreamed.

HAHAH #1 hilarious…I think the birds recognized how ugly her coat was.
Waldo Pepper | February 8, 2006 at 2:41 pm
maybe the birds were there to help her pluck those eyelashes some more
Spindoc | February 8, 2006 at 2:47 pm
Those birds did to Katie, what SHE has been doing to the quality of television for years!. Rock on Feathered Critics.

LaydeeBug | February 8, 2006 at 3:02 pm
Funny, but I have NEVER see Katie Couric host or announce anything. Except once when she was on Will & Grace. Maybe I should quit my job and stay home so I can watch her.
The Devil | February 8, 2006 at 3:02 pm
LOL @ #1. Short and sweet.
I have no problem with Katie Couric but any time a celeb gets crapped on, I think that’s a Good Thing.
GothamGuy | February 8, 2006 at 3:03 pm
It would be funny if Katie went up to the bird like Tom Cruise did to the photographer who squirted him with that fake mic. She would be all like,
ReadyAimFire | February 8, 2006 at 3:06 pm
Wage war!!
The Italians CLEARLY have something against America!!
SuperSpence | February 8, 2006 at 3:09 pm
DAMMIT! I’ve spent the last six years of my life training a flock of pigeons for this very thing and now someone has beaten me to the punch.
What am I supposed to do with my life now?
jb | February 8, 2006 at 3:20 pm
The birds are Italy’s response to her beyond-annoying-man-on-the-streets yesterday with the fat, loud-mouthed, spoiled Southern frat girls… “Hey, Girl – I was a Delta , too – but at UVA, not Texas….” She’s in Freaking Florence, and that’s all she can think to shreik about. Beautiful.
LaLa | February 8, 2006 at 3:37 pm
Unfortunately I saw this live today and it’s bird FOOD on her head, not poo. She was trying to get a bird to land on her head as she was feeding the birds from her hands.

if only bird could be trained to poop on matt lauer too. and al roker.
Devil Is Chrome | February 8, 2006 at 3:50 pm
Poo – which accurately describes the Today Show.
Tracy | February 8, 2006 at 3:54 pm
I heard that if a bird craps on your head it’s good luck. It happened to me once and I didn’t feel particularly lucky that I was covered in bird crap.
Wild Rose | February 8, 2006 at 3:58 pm
Wouldn’t it be sweet if she’s secretly terrified of birds but was convinced to “give the viewers what they want”? And what’s with wearing the gloves but she’s willing to have bird food smeared *in her hair* so one of those freakin’ germ-laden pidgeons will land on her head? I’m so grossed out by this display of stupidity.
wipe | February 8, 2006 at 4:07 pm
K.C.: “Someone please get me some toilet paper!!”
Italian Guy Standing Next To Her: “No need to. De bird ees far away now”
Wild Rose | February 8, 2006 at 4:07 pm
oops! Meant “pigeons”. And don’t anyone defend her by sayin’ it was cold in Italy at this time of year and that’s why she’s wearin’ the gloves. Any Northerner knows ya wear a hat as well if that’s the case. :oP
jennifer11 | February 8, 2006 at 4:21 pm
man- birds get to have ALL the damn fun.
*kicks dirt*
HangTenHoney | February 8, 2006 at 4:21 pm
Hate to say it, but I was watching this morning and can confirm that THIS IS NOT REAL. Someone put bird FOOD on her head, and the birds didn’t even touch it. In fact, after the bird segment, she commented that she was happy that not a single bird shat on her, and kept her coat on throughout the rest of the show.

Bugman4045 | February 8, 2006 at 4:25 pm
Now, if Matt Lauer would just jump up there and poop on her head!!
The rumor I hear is that Couric will be leaving NBC for CBS after the Olympics. Possibly to replace Rather on the evening news.
sikofdis | February 8, 2006 at 4:25 pm
her jacket looks like the seat-cushions on my parents’ patio furniture.
MortyFishbein | February 8, 2006 at 4:32 pm
These birds did what I’ve wanted to do for years and all I have to say is: ABOUT TIME.
HughJorganthethird | February 8, 2006 at 4:34 pm
“Hate to say it, but I was watching this morning and can confirm that THIS IS NOT REAL.”
Thanks for clearing that up. Being employed and all I rarely have time to sit around watching that harpie Couric molest birds but thanks to folks like yourself I can now rest easy knowing no-one was shat upon.
Skullyzena | February 8, 2006 at 4:44 pm
Okay… I saw her for the first time in a long time this morning and didn’t even recognize her. What is up with her face? It looked swollen and her eyes look like they have been pulled up on the sides. Did she get a face lift recently?
Captain Awesome | February 8, 2006 at 5:08 pm
Couldnt have happened to a better cunt.
dimestoredetective | February 8, 2006 at 5:35 pm
I’d hit it
sikofdis | February 8, 2006 at 6:27 pm
“Real” or not, this deserves to happen…and we can all dream, right? And dimestore, I wouldn’t hit that with the front end of a 74 Chevy…oh, wait…yes I would, provided said Chevy was travelling at least 50 mph.
(p.s. – right on CaptainAwesome!)
fluku | February 8, 2006 at 6:27 pm
me too, i hope your talking about the pigeon
Sheva | February 8, 2006 at 6:56 pm
Yeah 35, leave Italian pigeons alone. If you have your own personal pigeon at home, that’s your business.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
HollyJ | February 8, 2006 at 7:30 pm
lol@1!
prideofchucky | February 8, 2006 at 7:33 pm
Couric is a top of the line idiot. I love that expression of Matt Lauer’s face, who you know was like, “Get that f*cking bitch pigeons!”
SIDENOTE: the posts on Superficial have been funnier lately. Rock on Superficial!

It did not happen. I saw the show. I do not know what it means, but Pidgeons refuse to crap on Katie Couric.
hafaball | February 8, 2006 at 11:30 pm
Why did they have Pidgeons anyway? Don’t they usually use doves for these things? The Today Show must be very cheap hehe O.o
Jewbacca | February 9, 2006 at 12:01 am
i think katie was rolling on some x, she was enjoying the pidgeon shit.
fame is funny | February 9, 2006 at 1:23 am
i hope at least a tiny bit got in her mouth and she peed a little when it happened.

Oh yes… Life has a way of surprising me. Never could I have imagined that I would be truely jealous of a bird. Way to go my feathered friend!
