Weirdest thing you've seen on TV

You'll be walking funny for days though.

That and Britney at the MTV Video Awards.

No meat eater has any fucking right to criticise bestiality.

Anyway (shamelessly trying to crowbar this thread back on topic), my other favourite surreal TV moment is one of those trailers for the BBC News they put on at 8 o'clock. The scene: UN forces have just liberated Kosovo. There was meant to have been some big stand off between the Russians and the Americans, but it didn't happen, althought interesting stuff was meant to happen the next day. Martin Lewis lets rip with the greatest premise for a primetime news top story ever,

"So that's the Nine O'Clock News: What nearly happenned today, and what might happen tomorrow".

I also have the complete original broadcast of G.G. Allin on Geraldo buried somewhere at home. Great stuff.

There was a guy on who was scared of baked beans. He was a cook in a greasy spoon.

The best/worst bit was when he was almost sick just looking at a tin of Heinz on the shelf. "Can you touch it for me?" <retching noises>

100 Things To Do Before You Die

The guy taking a 'legal' drug that almost caused him to have a nervous breakdown on camera was pretty bad, but surely worse was him collecting the semen from the stallion. "Just hold that tube there and let him have his way with you." (They set a mare up for it, then redirect the stallion at a critical stage) He felt "dirty" afterwards, unsurprisingly.

The second...a magazine called "Heisse Stumpf"

It was a good and informative documentary, actually, but I've never seen anything like that on TV. I guess it's because the subject is sort of a taboo in Western culture.

On the BBC News last week, they had an expert in to talk about the Apple court case. They walked into the corridor to call him on for his piece, called his name, and his confused taxi driver heard the name of the guy he'd been waiting for, stepped forward to meet him and ended up being ushered into the studio and grilled about the ins and outs of the court case before he could realise what was going on. (Story here.)

About 9 or 10 minutes into this week's Newswatch show (click on "Watch Now" link on right hand side of this page), you get to see them talking about it.

Methinks it might have been set up for teh rofflez (surely he'd have noticed when they stuck a mic on him, or pointed cameras, etc), but it's still quite funny.

Ha - I just googled it and got this page. My eye immediately alighted on the wrong picture...

There was one absolutely classic TV moment (this is pasted from an email I sent someone else, hence the length hem hem):

He'd been out for a night chatting with several of his girlfriend's friends about it, and they'd been very supportive and sensible and one of them even brought a tear to my eye she was trying so hard to be truthful and helpful and phrase it right. About how if you were in love with someone, or thought there was the *possibility* that you might fall in love with them, then it wouldn't matter at all, but yes, if you were wanting a fun one night stand, you might be disappointed to see something as small as his (it was only 3 and a half inches erect or something).

And then another one was saying: "Look, you've been with Nicola for eight years, she's obviously OK with it, the problem is in your head, you've got to look at what lies underneath your obsession with the size of your penis," and was asking him if he saw it as representing his manhood, and he said he did in a way, and they were all saying that was the problem.

So after all that, he was doing a sombre piece to camera, still out on the town, and two drunk women came up and said "Oooh, what are you filming? Tell us what it's about!!" and he said it's a programme about penis size and they cooed and asked if they could be interviewed. "OK," he said, "Do you think size matters?" and they both shouted "YEAH!" at the top of their voices and then one, an Australian, said "And any woman who says it doesn't is just LYING to make men feel better! Seriously!" It was the most darkly comic thing I've seen on TV all year. The timing was just perfect.

That BBC News 24 thing is hilarious. I wish I could see the whole interview.

i must have chanced upon that doc at least 4 times. it's pretty depressing but i think the guy would feel better (and it seems , have a better looking cock) if he wasn't so fat.

Ta-daah!

Nope, it was on regular TV here, though I dont now remember if it was ABC (which is like our BBC) or SBS (which shows a lot of european shows). We get a lot of BBC shows! Lots of Canadian kids ones too, for some reason.
