CHICAGO, Illinois (MX) - In a bizarre ratings ploy a Chicago television host tattooed his face with the shows "M" logo. Movie critic / reporter Marcus Leshock appeared on the cable television program "Metromix on CLTV" donning his new body art on Thursday. Friday he made a statement on his blog saying he thought he was doing what was best for the show and station.
It's not like I spent $22,000 on a make-up artist, or $150,000 on a new wardrobe. All I did was try and generate some hype for the show. If that's wrong I don't think I want to be right.
Turns out Leshock was wrong, He has been suspended from his hosting duties until the tattoo could be removed with a laser. When reached for comment, CLTV did not return our phone calls.
More after the jump...
That's because the whole story is FAKE! We're just playing off of the story of a McCain supporter who claimed she was attacked by an Obama supporter and had the letter "B" carved into her face.

Man, that Marcus Leshock will do anything to promote this stupid sho......oh wait a second! The story is FAKE? Good thing I read all the way to the end or I never would have known.
I was worried, too. Marcus is CLTV's future Hall of Fame talent. I wouldn't want to see him end up anywhere else. Unless it was on a national network making 7 figs. Otherwise, "Around Chicago, Around the Clock" - that's where he belongs.
