Lol that Poor CNN Reporter

[Cush]

In VA Beach, barely holdoing onto a 300pound cement planet, the anchors kept joking with her because she only weighs 105 pounds.

WHy would they sen a 105 pound reporter out in a hurricane?

1. Stupidity? n/t

[madmax]

2. Bingo!!

[Ashcroft Kutcher]

3. Because

regardless of the sitiuation we don't want fatso's reporting the news.

4. Yeah, Al Roker is actually in some sort of danger this time around

:bounce:

5. "90 pounds dripping wet" and then....the signal goes out

Of course she is dripping wet because SHE'S STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREAKIN' HURRICANE AND HOLDING ONTO A BIG ASS CONCRETE PLANTER SO SHE DOESN'T BLOW INTO A SLAT WATER TAFFY/T-SHIRT STORE ON ATLANTIC AVENUE!

6. Could be the start of a great career ...

up here in Boston, a local station would always have this female reporter, Shellby Scott, out when there was a major storm, snow or rain.

When she was outside reporting it, you KNEW it was big. People would write in asking why do they treat her like that, but she loved it. She made her mark in the area from doing those stories.

7. Quite simple actually

viewer entertainment, do you know how funny it'd be to see some small reporter flying through the air on hurricane winds. I used to live in FL so I have a perverse desire to see destruction and damage in a hurricane's wake. I've lived through boring hurricanes I want entertainment value out of Mother Nature, if CNN helps so be it.

11. Keep glued to the channel

she might just blow into the ocean - the ultimate in Reality TV. Or, if you get real lucky something sharp might blow into her right there on national TV.

This is a nation of sick fucks.

12. The reporter on MSNBC (Brian Williams)

looked like he was getting blown into the next county. A guy was holding onto him, and he STILL got blown down the street. They've shown it several times this morning (and no doubt will again), and the people on the desk were having a good chuckle out of it (BTW, no reporters were harmed during the taping of the segment, unless you count Brian Williams getting blown out to sea).

13. Saw a clip of a stand-up on Mt. Washington...

Home of the nation's highest wind speeds...
This guy was doing a stand-up and not only did the wind knock him off his feet, it blew him away and had him hanging onto his mike cable like a friggin' kite string...
Kinda like thgat Weather Channel spot a few years back with the girl waiting for a bus hanging onto the bus stop sign blowing sideways in the wind...
