So I was just flicking through the YouTubes when this caught my eye. No idea what made me click it, but that I did -
If you don’t like watching videos, let me just explain what’s happening. BBC News 24 is a… 24 hour news channel. So obviously they get bored quite soon. Presenting the weather just isn’t enough now, so the newsreader has to make a quick jab at weather forecasting before handing over to the weatherman almost ready to deliver a one-fingered salute. How ITV of them.
So it got me thinking – could I stomach presenting a show probably nobody even has on? Then I remembered I have my own student radio show, so that’s a big bold tick in that box.
Then it was more of a "What the hell would you do in that situation?". If I had to be a weatherman on a 24 hour news channel, I’m pretty sure I would be the same – bored senseless and looking for any cheap way to get some thrills from the whole thing – but then feel about two inches tall when shot comes to me flipping the bird to the nation. Pretty sure I’d be fired, too.
I love the little sort of jazz hands-style thing he does when he realises the camera’s on him. Macho macho man.
Ahh anyway. I’m sure the Internet will grab hold of it with both hands and remix it, parody it and whatnot before the day is done. good old Internet.
EDIT: Surprise.
