That was a wrestler, dumbass.

Maybe his underwear were riding up a bit when the fake athlete gave him a not-so-fake slap.

My only regret about that was that people didn't pick up on the trend of knocking John Stossel to the floor every time he asked a question.

Note to self: I watch too many videos online.

That's John Stossel getting the beatdown from David Schultz at the beginning of the clips.

Any background on this one? Did they forget about the pyrotechnics or did she decide to change positions without telling anyone?

I saw it on one of those 'most stupidest videos' shows recently. She was reporting on the stunt, and was supposed to move out of the way before the motorcycle jumped out. The stunt rider took the reporter's cue to start as his cue, and we get to laugh at the results. She was shaken up and crispy, but ok.

That clip was featured on Maximum Exposure once (Loved that Show) if I remember correctly, she was supposed to move and the bike would explode out of the truck a split second later. But the biker jumped the gun and went early.

I don't know who John Stossel is, but I'd sure like to shoot and kill David Schultz.

Oh, I see someone else took care of that already.

Never mind.

What about Tareq Ayyoub? He was killed by two missiles fired from an American A-10 while reporting on the Iraq war on April 8th, 2003 (oddly enough). They actually fired on the Al Jazeera headquarters in Baghdad. Of course, they said it was an accident, but if you see the movie (The Control Room), it seems pretty clear it was not.

My favorite part was the reporter doing a full flip after getting hit by the snow tuber. 9/10 (loses a point for landing on his face)

Because, like the internet, I believe everything I see in movies.

The full-length grape-stomping vid is still a classic around my office and is probably saved on about half of the hard drives here. It only gets better when they switch back to the in-studio anchors.

"Oh, my..."
"Well, I certainly hope she's alright!"

pestluvr:

the link you posted says that amateur wrestler David Schultz was shot in 1996 by John E DuPont.

/confused

Here is the fireball:

You can clearly see that she is sitting right on the explosives that were to go off as the rider exited the trailer.

If she survived it was a miracle.

the noises the woman makes are so epic. we all know that kind of pain-omg-i-cant-breathe wind knocked out feel.

I'm a television news reporter, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

/no, really, I am.

I thought she died too.... I think I remember it being in one of the FoD videos.

On the cat-attacking-reporter incident, the reporter later said that she wasn't crying in the vid. She was trying not to laugh hysterically and thus break her professional cool.

The very last one in the vid shows an awesome cameraman. He slips and falls but still keeps the reporter in the frame.

my favorite farker comment the first time I saw the grape stomper posted here was 'she sounds like a retarded seal.' Now every time I see a retarded seal, I think of her.
 
2008-04-08 07:19:52 PM
Thanks subby, I needed that. It's been one of those yechy days.

Thanks to the video I was able to make a better FAIL pic out of the grape stomper than the one I made before...

Somebody use it the next time a StupidDeluxe video gets greenlit, so I can feel special & stuff.

I wanted to see more John Stossel being knocked to the ground.


/thats all

//goes to take a poop.
