I would have been orgasmic,if that had of been Fife or Milewski!

You'll notice that (as would be typical of a reporter) he ran into his "left" side.

Schaun und Freude liked this.

I saw that! The pole jumped out and struck the reporter.

I feel bad for the guy, he was actually pressing the lawyer for an answer.

Posted by: syncrodox at March 10, 2012 9:11 PM

Ouch! I feel that guy's pain. I have accidentally walked into poles like that and it really hurts.

You mean to tell me that the municipality doesn't pad its posts? I see a law suit coming.

Posted by: larben at March 10, 2012 9:17 PM

Did anyone check to see if the pole was ok? When something as dense as a reporter hits it, there could be serious structural damage.

Posted by: AtlanticJim at March 10, 2012 9:18 PM

I say that lawyer guy is a real Pro - the way he dusted off that reporter! Have to look closely, but did you notice the slight hip block just before the reporter guy ate the pole?

Posted by: Wolfy at March 10, 2012 9:37 PM

Hard to feel sorry, actually I don't. I wondered if it actually knocked any common sense into him, but then I remembered he was a journalist any didn't have any to begin with.

Heh Heh....

If only it could have been Craig Oliver,Robert Fife or even better Peter Manbridge.

Posted by: Frankemm at March 10, 2012 10:42 PM

Was anybody else surprised the lawyer stopped to help?

Posted by: Stunned Actually at March 10, 2012 11:31 PM

solidarityforever:

The lawyer is conservatism, the reporter is liberalism trying to keep up, and the sign is common sense?

Posted by: Jason at March 11, 2012 12:31 AM

That was just really funny to watch.

Posted by: Abe Froman at March 11, 2012 12:40 AM

Now thats news I'd like to see the MSM provide more of....

Hate to admit it, I walked into a pole once. Was a a youngster visiting Paris, my parents walked us all over the place, I started to sulk, didn't watch where I was going. Bang! Right into a metal steel pole. I think that was the last time I sulked in my life. My father didn't offer a single word of sympathy, which was good. Today he would have been charged with child abuse.

Yep, that's gonna leave mark.

Posted by: SteamboatJon at March 11, 2012 8:05 AM

And he wasn't even on his cell phone.

Posted by: Ghost of Ed at March 11, 2012 9:26 AM

So, a lawyer, a camera, and a reporter walk into a bar...

Posted by: Alyric at March 11, 2012 9:38 AM

Was the pole hurt?

Posted by: Fred at March 11, 2012 9:42 AM

Ban Posts !!!!

Posted by: RL at March 11, 2012 9:57 AM

The next day we are diluged with headlines and media commentary; "city streets unsafe for moral and intellectual superiors - Journalist assaulted during interview - no police response - city responsible"

Posted by: Occam at March 11, 2012 10:00 AM

RL said, "Ban Posts !!!!"

Yes, but was the post registered?

Posted by: Frank Q. at March 11, 2012 12:10 PM

To his credit, the lawyer being ambushed stopped to see if the guy was okay.

Posted by: MikeM_inMD at March 11, 2012 1:50 PM

Was there a post-mortem?

Posted by: stevesmith at March 11, 2012 6:17 PM

The coroner felt there was no need. Seeing as the victim was a reporter, he concluded that he been brain dead long before the pole came into the picture.

A real life metaphor for journalism today

Posted by: Revnant Dream at March 13, 2012 4:15 PM

Are journalists our intellectual and moral superiors? Perhaps not, but they're poles apart...
