Watch: Newscast wishes Joe Frazier happy birthday, forgets he's dead

These broadcasters may have taken one too many uppercuts from "Smokin' Joe" before showtime.

Philadelphia television station FOX 29 sent out birthday wishes to boxing legend and longtime Philly resident Joe Frazier for his 73rd birthday on Wednesday, and even noted he was scheduled to mark the occasion by appearing at city hall. There was just one problem: Frazier died in 2011, and nobody bothered to mention this fact.

Had Frazier turned up at city hall in his current condition, of course, it would have made for the "Fright of the Century."
