The explanation behind that animated gif -- MK, still huffy about the 6-7 a.m. "walk on water" laughfest, starts the 7-8 a.m. segment about 25 feet further away from the camera, saying "I'm out here where it's 3-4 feet deep." Pretends to extend her paddle into the water like she's marking twain (noticably never straightening the paddle). A man walks through the distant background, as before, the water barely tops his shoes, totally exposing her stupidity.
However, to compound matters, MK then turns the canoe and paddles through the frame while constantly yapping. The momentum carries her far OFFSCREEN -- which in network news is fubar. Kept blabbering the whole time. The whole episode won't go down well for MK with the powers-that-be at NBC.
