Bet he felt like an X-Man er sumpthin', ball lightning of the hands.....

Fake?

Probably? I don't think I've ever seen a real news shows with those types of credits, so if it's fake, it's probably a clip from some fictional show (but I don't look too closely at news credits, so I could easily be wrong).

Additionally, that spark doesn't look right.

Well, Andy Geoghegan is a real reporter: http://www.abc.net.au/lateline/content/2007/s1891379.htm and I would assume that the credits are because the clip is from one of those blooper type shows. So i think it's real, but I'm biased

i think its real too. his hands move *way* too fast when he's shocked, and his finger muscles seem to have contracted, as expected. -- he's lucky, im fairly sure 6000 volts can make you grab hold of the wire involuntarily.
