A particularly shitty live cross

Both New Zealand news channels seem to have developed an unhealthy obsession with the live cross; sending reporters out into the field to report live on the bulletin from the scene of the action. During the recent snowstorms, there were some very bedraggled looking reporters out in the wind, rain and snow.

But we doubt that either channel would subject one of there treasured reporters to this; seen on Campbell Live last night, and quickly found on YouTube:







Yes dear readers; that's not "sea foam" that the intrepid reporter is being coated with; perhaps he didn't notice the rather organic tint to his coating. We have no doubt that his colleagues kept their distance on his return to the studio after what was literally a shitty day at work!

We guess that we can take some consolation here; whatever life throws at us today, it's not likely to be as bad as what the raging sea tossed at Tucker Barnes!

I've heard it said that New York's biggest export is sh*t.
There was a time when sewerage was barged off-shore and set free. Look slike that might still be the case.

I'm not sure where the video was shot Rob, but it may well be the case indeed. But it's hard not to feel nauseous when Tucker Barnes talks about the salty taste of the "sea foam" in his mouth!
