TV guy was being a jerk because he was trying to do his job and trying to get a big giant orange jackass out of his shot while he's trying to cover the iPhone launch? I'm sorry, I'm not sympathetic. I've seen the G4 shots, and it's unfortunate that I can't find them posted anywhere. They consist of Zach, the reporter, and nothing but a giant orange cyclops behind him. It's not like the Hungrr mascot was innocuous and small in the background. The background WAS the mascot. It's all nice and warm and fuzzy that the mascot is raising awareness for whatever, but people have jobs to do and his was to get him out of his damn shot. They didn't fly out to New York City from Los Angeles where they are based to get a giant stuffed head in their report. It really doesn't matter how unimportant the iPhone might seem compared to Hungrr's mission. At that time, at that moment, the iPhone was his job and his livelihood. If G4 wants to help out with awareness for Hungrr's mission, then Hungrr should contact them and set up a proper interview and people might actually know what the hell a giant orange cyclops with a piece of paper pinned to it means in the first place.

i go insane when there is a news crew getting in the way of my daily commute in NYC, and i agree that its definitively fun to piss off meathead NY cops. but there is no denying that this brightly colored mascot for hungrr was being obnoxious and rude.

playing the poor oppressed innocent victim is too common within these activist groups...that orange headed idiot knew he was being a jerk, but in his mind it was justified because he was "sticking it to the man" and he was fighting for a good cause.. why do these people think maddening behavior is the appropriate way to make a statement?

And of course this was immediately uploaded online to show the internet community how piece of shit newscasters and ny cops want to destroy hungrr.com!! ugh.. those fascist pigs..

hungrr.com's tactics (as far as this videos concerned) cheapen actual global issues into gimmicky sympathy video clips for solidarity seeking college students..
