Cityslicker Reporter Not a Fan of Country Living

GiggleSugar — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 08:00:00 -0700

While this dude is on location and reporting on a high school tragedy, the unthinkable happens. A germy insect. Flies. Into his mouth. Gasp! And when the bug flies in, all of the mounting irritations and annoyances of the day fly out. Someone's clearly not a happy country camper. (Warning: Foul language up ahead!)

All the News That's Fit to...Dent

GiggleSugar — Fri, 14 Mar 2008 08:00:00 -0700

You know a story is worth watching when the reporter concludes that it was "a bad idea" to begin with. But this dude is much too hard on himself. What the report lacks in information, it makes up for in special effects - accidental special effects . . .

Sportscaster Makes a Freudian Fumble

GiggleSugar — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 08:00:00 -0800

He may be reporting on a big win, but our interviewer here has something else on his mind. It's also on the tip of his tongue and he's about to go out of bounds. Can he make a save? (Thanks, eBaum's World!)

Bird Craps Into Reporter's Mouth: Advertising Genius!

GiggleSugar — Tue, 29 Jan 2008 14:00:00 -0800

By now, we've all seen the vid of a bird taking a surprise crap on a reporter in the middle of a live news broadcast. It was the talk of the net last week, but there's a new development in the story. Was this really the accident it seemed to be, or was it the work of a couple of marketing gurus? The makers of "Frumondah soda" are taking all the cred for this "real fake thing that sells a real product," and they have the full commercial to prove it.

"The UFO Guy"

GiggleSugar — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 14:00:00 -0800

The UFO question never fails to bring out the crazy in folks. A reporter asked this random dude in the airport if he believes in UFOs. Does he ever. He believes in "extraterrestial" UFOs made entirely of water that can be found hanging around grave sites in Air Force One, Arizona. But the dude also admits to hallucinating a lot. Surprise, surprise.

"Giant Pair of Knickers" to the Rescue!

GiggleSugar — Wed, 02 Jan 2008 14:00:00 -0800

Some woman's underpants were used to extinguish a small house fire in the UK and this somehow made the news. What kills me is how the reporter here refers to the undergarment as a "giant pair of knickers," while sometimes adding hand gestures for extra-"large" emphasis. Meanwhile, the owner of the underpants stands by as if this is objective news. If you ask me, she should ball up those panties in her hand and give someone a giant knicker knock-out. He deserves it.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow

This is the hardest hitting story she's ever covered. . .

Dan Rather: To Coat or Not to Coat?

GiggleSugar — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 00:02:00 -0800

Instead of reporting the news from behind a stuffy old desk, Dan decided to report this story while standing atop a high-rise building. The idea was to catch a view of the space needle in the background of the frame, but it was freezing outside and other concerns took priority. Dan couldn't decide whether or not to sport a trench coat or pop his collar. Twenty minutes later. . .

Another One Bites the Snow

GiggleSugar — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 07:00:00 -0800

I don't know why reporters are compelled to "show off" newfound skills on live air, but I suggest they think twice and leave it to the ~~pros~~ kids instead.

Get Yer Deep-Fried Coke, Y'all!

GiggleSugar — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 07:00:00 -0700

I don't know what's more disappointing: the existence of deep fried Coke or the fact that this made a live news broadcast. Tough call. But one can argue that our news affiliates are merely reporting on a new development in this country's obesity epidemic- that is, the arrival of the most gluttonous, caloric, fattening beverage known to man. (When put that way, it kinda sounds good, yeah?)
