Well, I just watched this Youtube video about a reporter's hilariously ill-advised attempt to get up and close to the action.

So it got me to thinking... anyone else got any similarly hilarious videos or pictures that should be headlined "that... was a bad idea."

It seems weird calling an inner tube a "Sled" but that aside I don't think I have ever seen a toboggan video without someone getting slammed like that. Either way he got it good though.

What's your point?

My comment was a reference that apparently there is no organization called "Global News".

Man, that was a perfect flip. It should have ended after he signed off. Would have been super perfect.

I have a link to a Google search showing no organizations named "Global News".

Pay attention.

I don't care if it's a fake news organization or not. I laughed multiple times.

That's "Global Television Network" in Canada.

Sheesh.
Being in debt and celebrating a lower deficit is like being on a diet and celebrating the fact you gained two pounds this week instead of five.

BTW, Global was one of the companies that produced the 90s version of The Outer Limits.

I must admit, after watching that again, it's pretty hilarious. Oh man that was a wicked front flip.

Except of course the first result called "Global news"

Ahhhh you Americans. If it isn't in the US it doesn't exist... unless it has to do with terrorists that is.
