A KTVA reporter in Alaska quit her job live on the air to pursue pot legalization in the state.
"Fuck it, I quit," she said before walking off the set.

Still, ever since RT's Liz Wahl resigned in protest of the network's Putin coverage, the quitting-on-air thing has sort of lost its luster. Once you get past the initial 'wow' factor its impossible to overlook the fact that such displays are, from their inception, self-promotional stunts.
