Ladies and gentlemen. Can I please have your attention? I’ve just been handed an urgent and horrifying news story. Happy Halloween.

Ron Burgundy is a pretty busy man at the moment. As well as preparing for the ridiculously-anticipated release of Anchorman 2, he’s also about to release a book about his life and times and, we imagine, he’s still maintaining his punishing gym routine (1,001, 1,002, it’s a deep burn etc.).

He still found time to wish his British fans a Happy Halloween today by drawing a comparison between the lame way it’s celebrated in the UK compared to the USA, where, Ron says, there are ‘drunken adults dressed like serial killers hiding in front gardens giving candy to strangers’ children’.

The Halloween message comes after Ron recorded a special message appealing to British viewers to buy his forthcoming autobiography, ‘Let Me Off At the Top’ which it seems, is not leather-bound and may not smell of mahogany…

Like all the other Ron fans, we’ll still be buying it, however. When in Rome after all (Yes? Please go on)…
