The Joys of Live TV

Ah yes, Live TV. Pure unscripted debauchery. For only on live TV do we have the proper lighting and camera work to see people hurt themselves, embarrass themselves, or expose themselves. And aside from the hilarity of the actual event, there's the look on the newscaster's face when they have to go "back to them in the studio". I mean, is there any proper way to move from a guy doing the nasty behind the live reporter's back to "whose up for adoption" at the local shelter? Well I've yet to see it. And that's why I like this video.

Here a poor young woman was overcome with anxiety during a live interview and she fainted. Sure she fainted face first to the ground, but that's not the funny part. Check out the other interviewee when the girl passes out. For some reason the camera stays on him, and his lack of expression is priceless.



You can almost see the wheels turning in his head, "Oooh, she's passed out. Should I rape her now? Ahh, tsss, damn cameras right on me. Shoooooot. No, no, no, don't wake her up. Just go back to the studio, interviews over. Yeah, leave her with me. Whoop, cameras still rolling, better knell down and act like I'm helping. Maybe...feel her thigh a little bit. Yeaaaah."

Ahem...yeah I dunno why I let that go on for so long.
