Whats with the stupid reporters showing off in front of the camera during the hurricane?
“Holy fuck, its really windy out here! I can barely stand up!”
“Watch me try and run across the street!”
“Its really hard to stand here and keep your balance because you have to watch for flying debris!” - this one said this while clearly wearing sandals!
“Whoa! That big piece of roofing almost got me!”
What a bunch of asshats! Quit trying to hotdog for your girlfriend, get the fuck out of the hurricane, and report the news like a reporter and not a high school kid. Be professional. I don’t care of a Volvo almost took you out as it was careening down the street. I only care about the news! If you get taken down by a Stop sign, who is going to tell me the news??
The next jerk off standing in line AND you get to see a guy taken out by a stop sign.
I don’t know why people get so riled up about this. I love seeing a guy out in it.
I love seeing a guy out in it talking about how deathly dangerous it is and then you see some mom and her kids walk by in the background. Fucking tools.
I don’t know where else to put this, but this seems as good a place as any, since we’re talking stupidity.
There was a quick sounds bite with a reporter on my local noon news today, interviewing a guy who either rode it out or had made it back to what remained of his house - the guy said, “Whoa, looks like a tornado or sumpin’ went through here!”
Uh, yeah - I’d guess the ‘or something’ - maybe a hurricane?
:smack:
The nice thing about it though is that occassionally you’ll realize something about the reporter that you never knew before, like if he’s truly a brave soul or if he loses his wits in a crisis. Take Jim Cantore, for example. You get him away from a custom set and next to real world items and… woah. Did you know he’s only 3’8" tall? The guy needed a step ladder to get into a golfcart. Weird.
