Note: This is NSFW. But if you want to quit your job, this is a great way to go.

Reporters get to be in front of the camera all the time -- but most hecklers only get one shot at glory.

Last Thursday, CBS Local 2 reporter Joe Galli was at the Palm Desert mall in California when a heckler confronted him. Galli was reporting on local shopping -- a family-friendly capitalist holiday -- when the heckler interrupted. “F*ck her right in the p*ssy,” the heckler screamed, possibly referring to the famous meme. But Galli, hair coiffed, posture-perfect, doesn’t lose his composure. He fights back, and oh, it is glorious.

“Everyone keeps calling #savage in comments online. I took some Googling to make sure that's a compliment. #ThanksInternet,” Galli later wrote on his Twitter.
