Anyone want a journalist on the rocks?
What? Icebreakers are suppose to reduce the tension of an interview.
Breaks the ice at parties…eh…nudge, nudge, wink wink
It’s nice to have the pick of the conversations at a party.
*jumps from one foot to the next*
Eeeeeeppp
*runs*
IGLooooooooooooooooooooooo
He knows how to tip the hoar over eh? Know whatahmean, know what-ah-mean?
*stares frostily*
No, I do not.
I melt when you look at me like that
*Eyes glaze over*
The reporter was the pick of the litter.
With this guy around, who needs an ice crusher
whoa dude, we’ve got the same name o.O
I-I-I-I-I-ICE BREAKER!!1
Icey what you did there
You need better puns. Sorry, but I cannot laugh at that. It is quite overused, and I cannot control that. But I am going to say that, to get laughs, you have to come up with something original.
chill out, man
freeze! hold up a second! man you’re as cold as ice! ice-till don’t snow what your problem is… how did that pun not suffICE? that joke might be old but it’s not like it’s from the ice age! ice-uppose there are only snow many puns a person can think of! i thought that pun was a work of art! you have to learn to sculpt your words differently otherwise you are going to chisel at people’s emotions! they will end up feeling shattered!don’t be so cold
someone might even get violent and kick your ice if you don’t cool down. remember, revenge is a dish best served cold.
stay cool!
You sir, are epic. Try to detect a pun, you won’t.
You clearly win all the internets.
Win. This person has it.
Sorry, but your win isn’t as epic as Uvulus’s
Third!
You must be Andrew Wiggin.
that was just bad.

It looked like whatever it was shaping up to be was ugly anyway. No great loss to the art world.
It’s kinda like a school bully smashing a little kid’s class project & then saying “oops, sorry.”
But in your defence, what good is art that melts?
Well, if you’re gonna do such a fragile piece of art, you better work on the sturdy base first
Oh, it was a sturdy base. The reported clearly lifted it backwards without a good support behind it, and it fell. Reporter fail.
Totally looked like he meant to knock it over.
Completely staged. The comments like “It took so long” etc., plus the fact that the reporter obviously pushed it over, plus the fact that he immediately shoved the mic into the face of the sculptor after he broke it…lame. Cheap publicity stunt that was poorly thought out and even more poorly executed. Boo.
Plus the time jumps ahead 2 minutes somehow.
…and the guy is an artist, he would have gone on a cussing tirade had that not been setup. Still funny, I lol’d.
Faaaake. Bad acting
I also suspect the same… He says, I’m so sorry and directs the mic to the guy. Really… Bad acting!
Yep, staged, badley.
I would have kill’d him if that was me :O
Wow, totally fake. Good job.
Totally not. Ice is slippery. The reporter is an idiot.
No, it is. Apparently this reporter said so on Howard Stern.
Yeah, to save his own ass.
Uh, no, it’s fake. Why can’t people just accept that fact?
so what? it made me laugh!
what? that O.J. did it?
Watch the sculptor hold it up and then drop it as the reporter moves to “knock it over”
Keeping your hands off things you can’t afford to pay for or replace is a simple lesson my mother taught me as a child.
This.
I’d kick the reporters head in if I were the sculptor.
He had a chainsaw right there… why not at least menace the reporter with it???
Exactly!
Yet another possible Doom throwback, thrown down the drain. Doesn’t anybody know what to do with chainsaws anymore? That guy from Texas had the right idea.
Basically this, forever. If you cant afford it. dont touch it.
I think the whole thing was staged, myself.
Agree – FAKE!
Waiter, more champagne! And plenty of ice!
*hands Marius a bukkit of spiders*
Oh…….Ice….sorry
Oh not for me, thank you. I’ll stick with the quail’s eyeballs. Spiders make me throw up, you know.
Not sure why people are saying it looks staged. Doesn’t look that way at all.
Working in the news, I’ve worked with guys like that reporter. Can’t keep their hands to themselves and think that because they’re doing the news, they’re “in” on everything and can do whatever they want.
The other guy knew he was live on TV and understandably did his best not to tear the guy apart (although he deserved it.)
True. Thanks for the explanation. I don’t see how it’s fake at all.
The reporter admitted it to be staged.
http://townhall.com/MediaPlayer/AudioPlayer.aspx?ContentGuid=dd006e41-be54-460e-b4e5-7ae630a0c2fd
So it was a prank, not staged. The two other reporters had no clue and it was just to have a little fun with the TV audience.
I think as a prank I like it better than it if it was completely real (and way better than staged for online).
I would also like to hear an explanation to why this has to be fake.
It doesn’t look fake to me. That the sculptor doesn’t kick the living crap out of the reporter is probably due to his ability to constrain himself.
bad fake
agreed
I think it’s fake because the guy clumsily knocks it down.
But more telling is that when he says he is sorry, he is putting the mic in the sculptor’s face to get his response. That just doesn’t seem realistic to me. I don’t think he would continue to record the guy’s audio after that if it was legitimate reporting.
Also, 8 hours already spent on the sculpture? Please.
How would you knock something down if not clumsily? I don’t think he was going to do it in a professional and correct manner.
There’s no chance that the reporter was so flustered that he really didn’t know what he was doing?
And let me see all the ice sculptures you’ve made since you can tell what they should look like after 8 hours of work.
+1… 8 hours?
well i can tell from some of the pixels
and from seeing quite a few shops in my time
Ha ha! That was a funny comment.
I say it’s staged, because the guy who staged it says it was staged:
http://www.asylum.co.uk/2010/08/04/tv-reporter-smashes-ice-sculpture-in-fake-clip/
For video evidence, look at the clock in the bottom-right. It goes from 8:54 to 8:55 at the 10-second mark in the video. It then goes to 8:56 at the 14-second mark. That proves that the video was at least spliced, which doesn’t necessarily prove it’s fake, but definitely casts doubt.
PS – he admits it on the radio as well: http://tinyurl.com/2dwzttf
Sorry, I’m pretty darn sure the radio thing is a coverup for a real incident that was managed by striking a deal with management. The sculptor comes off as a jerk, so to save his image they make a deal to make it out to be fake. “See? I was just pretending to be a jerk/klutz” Clever news station, actually. There’s no way this was fake. The coverup is fake. Kinda annoying really.
I find your theories fascinating. I’d love your take on WTC-7.
> The sculptor comes off as a jerk
a jerk? come on, have you worked for hours creating something only to have some idiot ruin it in seconds? I am not saying it’s real/fake. just saying that if it was real, the sculptor would have every right to be completely pissed.
Yes, the big Orange County News Ice Sculpture Knockover Coverup! I believe Bob Woodward is working on a book about this.
Oh really, what news do you work in? The Daily Idiot?
Of course it’s staged, don’t be so obtuse.
It’s probably because the ice sculptor talks very act-ish. But that’s understandable: I bet he wanted to rage like crazy, but acted cool to not look like a lunatic (though I’d understand it if he raged). Especially since it seems to be his job: raging is not exactly a good commercial! So, because he had to do his best to act cool (still showing anger, but not raging), he talks like that.
Or it’s because the reporter brought the mic to the ice sculptor’s mouth after his goof-up. But he probably didn’t know what to do, and in the confusion and embarrasment made the reflex of putting his mic at the sculptor’s mouth.
It looks staged because it doesn’t look like a sculpture that had been worked on for 8 hours.
Reality Fail & also Acting Fail, they suck
I like it!
Wow, that was some mediocre acting.
Way to go out with pride mister reporter.
1. It would’ve melted anyway.
2. It looked like it was an ugly sculpture.
3. Looked staged.
No.
1. It would’ve melted anyway.
2. It looked like it was an ugly sculpture.
3. Safety
4. Looked staged.
TIFIFY
No.
1. It would’ve melted anyway.

Safety dance? We have a safety dance???

Does it involve tongs, rubber gloves and fire extinguishers?
If it doesn’t, I don’t want to know.
Still wrong it’s clearly:
1. It would’ve melted anyway.
2. It looked like it was an ugly sculpture.
3. Safety dance
4. Looked staged.
5. ?????
6. PROFIT!!!
Fake. Here’s a radio interview with the reporter from the video explaining that it was all just a joke:
http://townhall.com/MediaPlayer/AudioPlayer.aspx?ContentGuid=dd006e41-be54-460e-b4e5-7ae630a0c2fd
http://townhall.com/MediaPlayer/AudioPlayer.aspx?ContentGuid=dd006e41-be54-460e-b4e5-7ae630a0c2fd
ahem….
Maybe a more appropriate title would be “Comedic Acting FAIL”. People are saying it’s staged because it is ridiculously obvious that it is. I can’t wait till tomorrow when there is a clip of professional wrestling called “Appropriate Folding Chair Use FAIL”.
hey, you’re stupid
Exactly, Failblog fail.
You haven’t realized that FailBlog does this so often? Wow.
staged – admitted on radio, per the daily what.
Fake….watch the time skip right before the “accident”
I must have missed something in the video. Sure, he worked hard on it, but was just a piece of ice.
It doesn’t work that way, if so, your children would just be pieces of living meat with your DNA
Whut?
Another reason you should never use a dumb reporter for a live telecast.
how do we tell if he’s dumb?
Ask him if he’d do Paris Hilton.
You morons will believe anything. Besides the fact it looks staged, and the acting is horrible especially from the sculptor, they have also admitted it was staged. But I guess big foot is still real and aliens are being held in the nevada desert, right?
Reminds me of the jenga world record disaster. That should be on failblog.
Oh yeah, that was horrible.
If that was me I would start screaming and feeding the reporter jenga-blocks XD
F A K E, the acting sucked!!!
fake
Hey… that’s at the Orange County fair! hahaha
Fake!
sued!
Was reported fake today.
http://townhall.com/MediaPlayer/AudioPlayer.aspx?ContentGuid=dd006e41-be54-460e-b4e5-7ae630a0c2fd
Doesn’t “Anne” look like Tina Fey?!
that couldnt have been more fake. the guy makes a point of saying how long he’s been working on it. the dude goes to touch it. and the acting on the sculptors part was horrible. ps-that thing wouldnt have taken 8 hours to make.
so incredibly fake and set up it hurts
dang, it was so fake.
That is obviously set up. The guy wouldn’t be doing an ice sculpture out in the sun, and it would be way more secure than that. Plus, if that’s the best he could do in 8 hours, he has to be the worst ice sculpture in the world.
It was staged.
http://ocunwired.ocregister.com/2010/08/02/fail-dont-touch-the-oc-fair-ice-sculpture/
yes . sorry fixes everything.
He took it kinda well @_@
So well that it looks kinda fake … (and gay)
Why would someone fake this?
I mean ya it’s fake but not getting the “why” since it flies in the face of journalistic integrity.
Yeah how are all of you believing that this is real, it is totally fake, shame on you, bad fail!
“It was such a beautiful piece…until we destroyed it”
First rule for reporters on such events: DON’T TOUCH ANYTHING!
True. Imagine a reporter visiting Leonardo while he painted the Mona Lisa and asked if he could touch it while it was still fresh. Total Catastrophee.
Sculptor is supporting it with his left hand it falls the instant that hand is removed.
Nobody has a piece of ice as one of their prized possessions, that’s what we call foreshadowing.
Fake and Gay
Ice sculptures aren’t known to be nohow permanent.
Can anyone say…. FAKE…. SET-UP….STUNT… I find it highly suspicious that he already spent 8 hours… on that?!? No table… and you still have a way to to… oh yea, and the acting was piss poor.! sorry dudes… you FAIL!
This is fake. It’s viral advertising trying to get attention for the OC Fair.
Anyway you know it’s fake because of the terrible acting by the sculptor and the sculptor can be seen holding the ice block up the entire video. It actually falls when he removes his hand, not when the reporter touches it.
Totally fake. If you’ve seen mediocre improv you recognize it here. “We’ll talk to management”? Why in the world would someone say that? Also it’s such an obvious progression — “This is my most prized work” “Can I see it? Oops I broke it.”
Chill out? Really bad play on words btw, but I’d be pissed too. Nobody told him to touch. Some suggest it’s fake, but assuming it’s real, I’d be livid.
Fake.
The fake claims that this is fake, are fake. Or is it my own claim to that effect that is fake? Darn it, I confused myself. I guess I’m fake.
it would be reporter fail, not hardwork fail.
Definatly fake. That sculpture would melt in no time out in the sun. Hours…..my arse. That was set up minutes before the shot, you can already see the glassy (melted) surface
1. Ice couldn’t last 8 hours in the heat
2. The reporter keeps shoving the mic into the guys face after he knocked over the art work
I think this may be fake.
So what does he mean by “I hate guys like this!”
You telling me there are guys running around pushing over ice sculptures or what?
this was not funny i did not laugh at all
but this is the true meaning of fail i have to say best fail ever i jsut wont laugh X_X
fake. they copied this from a legitimate video of a reporter knocking down some guys world record jenga construction, which was funny as hell. this however; not funny, and not real.
link for the jenga disaster
This is also fake.
FAKE
the ice puns hurt…. do you think he was on thin ice after that?
and for all of the reasons people are using to say this is fake:
Q: why didn’t it melt?
A: they use something to keep it frozen, they don’t just make ice culptures in winter.
Q: why did he say he was tired of guys like this?
A: because it’s happened more then once before where somebody is not paying attention to what their doing and knock it over.
there, while it might be fake, every other video i’v read comments on here say “FAKE!” so you people really are just being annoying, even though your giveing reasons why it might be fake.
‘ice’-ee what you mean. thanks for giving us the ‘cold’ hard truth! you are going to ‘carve’ a big reputation for yourself! i dont want to ‘pick’ on anyone… that would be ‘cold’.. but you would have to have bad ‘ice’-ight not to notice it wasnt fake. but ‘cool’ it with all the QA, you dont want to seem like a ‘snow’ it all!
stay cool!
nice touch
Sorry guys, but this is the result of bros icing bros… it just gets out of hand
WTF is with the adverts before easch film clip ????
I don’t blame him for being upset. I mean SIX hours! that’s a long time. The reporter shouldn’t have touched it.
it was 8 you dumbICE
Holy crap @ the frequent commercials on these vids now.
I’m sorry… I can’t say anything funny on this…
There’s no “Chill Out, Bro” here. Those things take sooo long to do, and sooo much detail… he said he’d been working 8 hours on it so far and some douche just waltzes up and destroys it? I’d be friggin angry.
FAKE AND GAY!
Hi I recent came across this forum on Google. Just wanted to say hi to everyone and commend the admin’s representing a community well done!
Talk to you all soon,
Rebecca
thats orange county for you all!
What’s with all the ads before the videos?! FAIL!
Lame hobby win……maybe?
