Let's define them as "accidents or actualities in language of a
telling, 
embarrassing, or otherwise significant nature." Potential examples: 
Eisenhower blathering on. A public figure saying, "we are at war with 
Russia, uh, we are not at war with Russia." John Kerry's huge pause 
during one of the 2004 debates.

Since this is a show about the media, which is construed as mass media

(newspapers, TV, radio) and new media (blogs, websites, podcasts), the

producer is interested in media-related examples. In general, you can't

go wrong with kids or robots, but in this case the Linkletter stuff 
wouldn't qualify.

thanks,
Michael
