Both anchors are just adorably cute and the reporter fella's a real trooper.

I wanted to show those anchors my sprinkler!


Am I right, people???!??

[east coast producer]

Yea, you go show them your sprinkler and I'll show them my fire hose.

Meanwhile, the producer isn't laughing and just keeps saying "Rap! Rap! This isn't funny! You're killing my show! Rap! Rap!"

Same kind of thing happened to us while covering the Outback bowl one year. One of our crew put a traffic cone over the sprinkler head until we were done.

It's certainly not the first time it's happened (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZvocQp-VoM). You can fast forward to about the 1:30 mark.

I thought the same thing....an "A" block with 2 stories.
But yes, that guy is a super trooper!

You seriously disapprove of using this as a kicker? :confused:

NO! This is not kicker material! This is youtube/industry message board material. Never, ever kicker. The news isn't the news!!! Terrible kicker!

I'll take the chick in the pink blouse. You can have the "fella."

I've gotta disagree with you here! I think you're over-thinking it... maybe it's because I'm a morning guy...

Well, speaking for kickers, I prefer the gay penguin dry humpfest.;)

[Kace]

The sprinkler only affects the reporter and not the viewer and should not be news. :rockon:

[Clever Login Name]

Kicker? I hardly know her!

I believe s'news owes me money now. Or vice versa, I'm not sure.

There's a modest licensing fee. The firm of Hobbs & Hack will be in touch with you about it.

The whole thing was staged as a gimmick for this guy's Youtube resume. What better way to get your face in multiple newsrooms.
