Edit: OK, Sorry - My Bad - Not a Dupe!

I didn't see that one before submitting this, but I can't decide if it's a dupe or not -- the other one is edited down and has added Yakkety Sax instead of the original sound. Opinions?

I would say keep it. This one is more newsy.

"she doesn't want to get out.."

FUCKING REALLY!?!?!!

This is a primer on why news anchors are some of the world's most leading idiots.

Most annoying commentary EVER!

Hah, California: "I wonder if we can pan out a little bit, yeah, get a little bit of perspective" -- Oh it's just 8 more lanes of traffic.

What fucking stupid commentary. Thank you for pointing out the obvious like 100 times. Jeez. Please stop the verbal diarrhea.

I think she was pissed off that she bought an ugly-ass refrigerator box instead of a real car.

And "pan out"? Really? I know to most non-film types, panning refers to pretty much every camera movement ever, but you'd think that a broadcasting professional would know a little bit more.

...and there was me thinking that if only this had Yakety Sax playing in the background...

I can't think of any video I've ever seen on the Sift that couldn't benefit from Yakety Sax.

"Where are we Ginger?"

Second most entertaining high speed chase.


Here's the first (By a long shot): http://www.videosift.com/video/Mustang-Spin-Police-Chase

Beats me why they were hassling her - she DID have her 4-ways going.

Most annoying commentary EVER!

Yeah something about their tone. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the anchors are empathizing more than they'd like to admit.

Surprising performance from that vehicle.

"We're on the surface streets now, so let's be careful as we watch this"



WTF!?!?!

Please stop putting car chases on the news. That's what the Internet is for.

CNN meets the View?

When they show the split screen the commentator informs us of where to find the erratic driving footage.

"...you can take a look (where?) on the left hand side of your screen there (no, still not seeing it) in the box (ooh, -there- it is) you can see..."

Do I hear people cheering in the background? That's appropriate for a news station.

BTW, I love the commentary. "Oh! She's turning!... Now she's going backwards! And she turns. Turns again... Turning around...."

But my favorite: "These are service streets she's on now, so let's be very careful how we watch this."

Uhhh... WHAT!?!?

typical woman driver.

She probably stopped a couple of times to ask for directions.


[EDIT]
That was sarcasm, btw.

So I'm picking up — just reading between the lines here — that the general consensus is that the commentary on this video is slightly substandard for a news channel.

Maybe they were concerned that the driver might put one of their eyes out?

@2:17 it sounds like someone just starts CRACKING UP in the background noise. wanna know what that's about.

Jeez, it's like watching a skiddish sheep zig-zagging its way out of the barn.

Adding video to channels (Femme) - requested by legacy0100.

I have an unnatural love for police chases. Maybe it's perfectly natural, like when you watch a lion take down a zebra. Usually if you look in the background, there's a mass of other zebras watching it go down.

***Yawns*** Typical day in beautiful Southern California. Nothing to see here!

She's lucky the BART police weren't there
