Fucking With Reporters Is Never Not Funny
I know that this reporter is just trying to put food on his family, and it's not like he comes down to the drunk heckler's work and knocks the basket of chili-cheese-fries soaked in half a spilled beer with three cigarette butts in it off of his belly, where it was resting, as if his belly is a table. But the fact of the matter is that fucking with reporters is never not funny. FACT.
Wait, no, I changed my mind. Fucking with reporters is never not funny until you get straight punched shoved in the face by a reporter. Can you do that? This is clearly the reporter's first day on the job, and he just came here from an alternate universe where video cameras only record sound, and YouTube is a website of user-uploaded wood carvings. How else to explain the fact that he just punched shoved a dude in the face after pushing him a whole bunch? Whoops! You can't do that on television. Somebody slime this fool.
That'll teach him. (Video via Lindsayism.)

I believe the line you're looking for is from Mr. Show and goes, "Look, obnoxious fat man, I don't come down to where you work and slap the dick out of your mouth." Which of course also doubles as the slogan for Grandma Betsy's baking power.
Also, I'm having troubles logging into the site today. Is it because Lindsay's gone?

It is the producers fault. I used to work for a now defunct local TV show in Vegas as a cameraman and we only went to Fremont Street once because it is nearly impossible to get a good take and I can't even imagine why you would try it live. There is no way that you should take the gamble with doing live from Fremont Street. No matter the time of day there are drunk people who are attracted to cameras like flies that want to make an ass of themselves. They should have filmed on the Strip or in front of the Las Vegas sign because the tourists there are less attracted to cameras.

I say Metro should have cold-cocked the annoying drunk sumbitch. Maybe a left-right combo punch to the face and gut would have put that guy in his place. Instead, what happened was so candy assed that I hardly could believe it. It looked like those women in the studio could hardly believe it, either. They were so overcome with the candyassedness of it all that they went into chick shock from it. The one on the right side of the screen looked like she wanted to get out there and be part of the beat down. The other one was scared that her career was going to be affected by it all so she just resorted to some kind of corporate buzz-speak. Then they both started back paddling away from it. It would have been hilarious if it wasn't so lame. Now its turning into an internet meme. 50 years ago if that had happened, the drunk guy would have just gotten his lights punched out and the news dude would have kept on going without missing much of a beat. The people back at the studio would have just smoked a bunch of cigarettes and read more news. End of story. What a bunch of wusses we have melted down into.

We already have one "An American Patriot," so you can be on your way. Thanks for stopping in, though.
Score = 3
Well, at least you allowed me to have my say. I guess that makes you pretty Patriotic, as well. Have a good day and if you celebrate July 4th, I hope you have a safe one, 'aftershock'.
