tags:See if you can watch this (at least through 1:20), knowing that it is completely legitimate, and not at least chuckle.
Well, as legitimate as news gets in Cleveland, anyway.

Stumble This











- Reporter receives undesirable assignment, produces ridiculous segment as retaliation, management releases it as submitted to spite him
- Reporter produces segment with absurd additions as a joke, producers think it's hilarious and just can't keep it to themselves
- Reporter and management understand viral nature of the Internet, release ridiculous segment for publicity
- Reporter was offered the bear cutout visual aid by a well-meaning but misguided colleague or supervisor and couldn't resist taking it all the way (leading to any of the other scenarios)
The rabbit\squirrel\thing head pretty much eliminates any possibility that this was produced without tongue firmly in cheek.5th possibility is that ReverendTed has too much faith in meat-brained humans.
Ummm, GO INSIDE LADY!! I doubt the bear is going to come knock on your door, and if at that point you open it.....you deserve to get eaten!
If our news was this entertaining, I might actually watch it! That was great! How many grainy thumbnails labelling "murder" and "car accident" do we have to see? Get us a guy trotting through the woods holding a bear cut-out and I'll tune in nightly!
"I'm good...I'm...uhhh, faster than a bear."
Awesome, played so straight I was wonder. Till the rabbit head guy.
