Technical glitch or too hot for TV?

On some terrible show, G4 or something, which is like one big advertisement for electronic junk and video games, the hosts were being told about a new plug-in hybrid from Honda by a guy out-of-studio.

'But their so expensive,' the hosts said about hybrid cars.

'Well, yes, and of course the best thing [for the environment] is not to drive at all,' he said.

Bzzzt. Instant test pattern!

Coincidence? Let your paranoia decide!

(Please do let me know if that guy is seen again...)
