Funny Video of the Week: Reporter vs. Sled


There's a few questions I have about this clip. First of all, what kind of news channel is doing a special report on sledding? You would think with all that's going on in the world the outcome of a sled race between Reuben and his buddy wouldn't quite make it on the 6 o'clock news. And why did the reporter even need his "trusty" stopwatch? Was this not a head-to-head race? Someone needs to explain to him that when two people race, you can usually just see who crosses the finish line first to determine the winner. No stop watch necessary.

Also, did the reporter really say "Oh jeeze!" as he got absolutely demolished? I can think of about a million worse things that would come out of my mouth in that situation. If the guy prevents himself from swearing here, that means he's never said a bad word in his life.

Regardless, it was a great collision. I give him a 9.5 for the flip, but only a 4.0 for the landing. I'm giving bonus points for the fact that the stupid trusty stopwatch got sent flying, bringing his total score to a perfect 10.0.
