Local Newsanchor Draws Twitter's Ire For Tweet Comparing Shooting To "Breaking Bad"

    Philadelphia news anchor Joyce Evans came under fire yesterday for a tweet that used a Breaking Bad reference to plug a story about a local shooting. And, of course, Twitter responded brilliantly.

    Here's Evans' original tweet.

    Thought "Breaking Bad" was hot last Sunday? @FOX29philly See who's breakin' bad in SW Philly leavin' 6 people SHOT - Tonite at Ten!
