Hurricane Irene: Dude streaks through Weather Channel live shot (video, pic, NSFW)

[Video Link] It's not a real American disaster until some drunk idiot pranks a live TV news shot. Above, Weather Channel reporter Eric Fisher gets mooned while reporting Hurricane Irene. Full frontal dong-age occurs shortly after that.

"We're in a lull..." No, sir, you're in a LOL.

Screengrab of naked guy follows (NSFW).

  I’m not sure that “depressing” is the right word for what’s going on there. Perhaps “delightful” would be more fitting.

• [HannahJo]

  That was more than just a moon…

• [puppethead]

  That’s no moon…it’s much more.

• [EH]

  I like how frustrated he is being surrounded by revelers while trying to talk about what a tragedy the storm is. 

• [KarenJ]

  Natural selection at work here…

• [steve white]

  if its so dangerous to be out Mr. what are you doing there?

  oh sorry the goggles will save you!

• [wfpman]

  “That’s when you really feel that acceleration of the wind coming around the bend.” ….uhhh yeah.

• [xian]

  Why is Bob Saget reporting the news?

• [Jeremiah Blatz]

  “Please stop making a mockery of my reportage!”

• [BookGuy]

  It’s all fun and games until somebody gets hit in the penis with a 70-mph tree branch.

• [Kommkast]

  Well really.. its just the waves you have to worry about, otherwise its just like any other large storm as long as its not higher than Category 2 I think. So your free to have as much fun as you want so long as you stay off the beach. :p

  • [Trucideau]

    Two or three deaths so far due to falling trees and flying limbs, from what I’m reading. So… revel as you will, but wear a hardhat.

    • [Buddy Chump]

      …or a CUP if you want to emulate our newly hatched heroes.

• [futnuh]

  If there was a God, and she was a prankster, she’d have sliced the weatherman’s head off with a piece of flying sheet metal. That’s all.

• [puppethead]

  Oh, one more.

  “My eyes! The goggles do nothing!”

• [BradleyHart]

  Unfortunately those guys haven’t used up their fifteen minutes yet…

• [Max Smouha]

  god bless america

• [Buddy Chump]

  Hilarious–we saw it live but we must have blinked during that part.
  We’ve got to excuse the “weather” channel. They’re in the throes of a “HURRIGASM” and continue to warn people “Do what we say, not what we do, and please send us your pictures of the storm!!”  Also, it looks like they’ve shut down any mention non-East coast weather.

• [Michael W.]

  Is the name of that Chinese restaurant back there Wong’s or Wang’s ?

• [gedsudski]

  Either way it works, and the one next to it is FOXY!  baahhahaha

  • [Michael W.]

    If the order was reversed and it read, “Foxy Wang’s”, my life would be complete. 

    The last bit of evidence I require that there is in fact a God and he has the mentality of drunk frat boy.

• [dayna]

  I saw this live and had to run outside to tell my husband. He’s fairly certain I’ve been watching the Weather Channel for two days just waiting for a penis sighting.

• [grima]

  Dr. Darwin will see you now.

• [RadioSilence]

  “setting a bad example”

  Well maybe you should get off the street!

  • [akputney]

    My thoughts exactly.

• [Crispinus211]

  This is the only rational response to the Weather Channel hype machine.  Yes, this is a serious storm, but the relish with which the WC and other outlets lean into the carnage warrants a good mooning.

• [social_maladroit]

  Shorter Weather Chanel: “We’d like to discourage you from streaking during our live shots by reminding you that you could get killed during this very, very dangerous storm.”

  It would have been even funnier if that guy had come back with a bar of soap and stood there, full monty, while lathering up.

• [herrnichte]

  right!  team_A:  crowd source that photo and lock down the identity of the owner of that wang.  team_B: using reverse perspective and (uh…) Bayesian Markov networks establish the centimeters of relative endowment (or CRE) +/- 2.7millimeters of that flasher.  google+ demands this information.  go… go… go!

• [Rich Keller]

  Kevin Nealon had some routine with “naked in a rainstorm” as a running theme. 

• [webmonkees]

  People don’t worry about the conditions unless they’ve assigned Jim.
   

• [Christopher Korte]

  If I WERE the illegitimate weatherman lovechild of Larry David and Bob Saget, I’d partner up with Mr Moonie and make a sitcom.

• [disillusion]

  While it is a low category storm, there are still some dangers.  One is possible flooding, and 2 being it’s not that the wind’s blowing, but WHAT it’s blowing.  Not to mention if a power line goes down while live.  I agree with the guy saying it’s stupid to be on the roads since it doesn’t take that much to sweep a vehicle away, and the possibility o a flying brick or something going through the driver’s windshield.

• [Christopher Korte]

  WOW, I’m sitting here in the DC metro {…waiting…} for Irene to strike and this video is bringing my entire household to their collective knee! We’ve watched it about a dozen times. An indelible image. BRAVO Brave Virginian!

• [irksome]

  Weatherman hyperbole is the worst thing EVER!

  Nice of the camera to pan back so we could get the full view.

• [Threedonia]

  Ironically… a hurricane also has only one eye.

• [S. Ellis]

  Oh, hometown. This is the first time you haven’t disappointed me.

• [John Kirriemuir]

  That was a reminder of the “It’s cold and wet; that’s why there’s shrinkage” Seinfeld episode.

• [Threedonia]

  As a super genius I reject the logic of that response — though I admire its simplicity.

  • [Threedonia]

    While I appreciate that the commenter “Tony Smith” — if that was his real name — was disemcommented…. it robs my reply of its true genius.

• [Buddy Chump]

  Oops–misppelled it earlier–Weather Channel is having a HURRICASM…?!
  I wonder if their advertising rates are more during these events.

• [Simon Frew]

  A weather guy out in the hurricane criticising others for being out in the hurricane… Hmm…

• [Antinous / Moderator]

  In a desperate bid for ratings, The Learning Channel will now present Pee-wee Herman standing in the rain and telling The Aristocrats.

• [pita]

  I could swear that guy is in a studio with a green screen behind him.

• [miasm]

  “I’ll bite my tongue”!

• [Anthony I]

  They were probably in the Navy.

• [Antonio Ramírez]

  You keep using that word, “speechless”…

• [Nagurski]

  Typhoon time in Taiwan was the best. Fly around on motorcycles, looking at all the cool weather action, bob around in the bay getting tossed by the waves. It’s really fun and exciting to experience them. Dangerous for sure, but most fun, exciting things are.

• [Mark Lucas]

  Another case of hurricane induced streaking syndrome (HISS) which clearly causes extreme happiness and severe compulsions to run streets getting naked screaming yaaaa, whoo while completely hammered :) This reporter was completely insensitive to what these brave young men and women where going through.

• [Cowicide]

  People representin’ vah beach! Only place in Virginia that’s really worth a shit.

• [we_the_people324]

  Streaking in the rain. Now that’s something i need to try.

• [Matthew Hahn Jr]

  Thanks for this. Too funny.

• [willyboy]

  Noel Wyle? 

• [Ricky WhoDat Morales]

  Partly cloudy with a chance of weanie

• [Rephlex]

  Brilliant! Wish it happened on Fox right after Geraldo talks about how Mega-Death-Cane-Irene 2011 had killed people in front of his very eyes.

• [lecti]

  Is the guy in the back cracking up around the end?

• [urbanspaceman]

  It’s all fun and games until somebody gets hit in the penis with a 70-mph tree branch.

  Well, maybe some folks like that sort of thing!

  Anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtzoUu7w-YM

• [theregjoe]

  well, weather makes people do crazy things
  weather is crazy himself

• [Don Brock]

  They’ll do anything for ratings nowadays.

• [Randette Brown]

  I wouldn’t have minded seeing one of those morons slip & fall flat on his face or out in the open penis, since all this is so funny to some people – meanwhile other than the idiots who thought surfing was a great idea, other people have died due to this storm, that ISN’T EVEN OVER YET…..

  I see nothing funny about it, but the weather channel has become a joke, I get more information elsewhere

  • [Rose M. Welch]

    You wouldn’t mind seeing people get hurt, because they’re doing something that might hurt them? Wait, what?

• [Franklin]

  The Weather Channel is to hurricanes what Fox News is to Muslims.

• [qg192]

  Ok, I’m from Virginia Beach and this doesn’t surprise me – we honestly have no idea how to act during disasters.

  • [KWillets]

    Sometimes losing your pants is part of the disaster.

  • [Andrew Rhone]

    and people wonder why people in the south are called Rednecks!!! (now I’m from the north so all I can say is we have them up here too (im one of em)

• [John Veteran]

  My Eyes, The Goggles Do Nothing!!!

• [Aldin1]

  steve white asked: “if its so dangerous to be out Mr. what are you doing there?”

  Simple.  His boss told him too.  And if he refused, it would be “dangerous” to his continued employment with the Weather Channel. :)

• [oliver beatty]

  Why do T.V presenters become so pompously outraged whenever something happens that they haven’t scripted for? It’s the only time when T.V’s any use to the human spirit whatsoever. 

  • [NelC]

    Because being on TV having to extemporaneously spout off and sound as though you’re making sense is very, very stressful? And doing it in the face of rain and 75+ mph winds is even more so? Yeah, I think I’d get quite wound up, too.

    • [oliver beatty]

      That guy could extemporise for hours – he barely pauses for breath. And he also gets paid handsomely for his ability to do it. . . 

  • [Antinous / Moderator]

    Why do T.V presenters become so pompously outraged whenever something happens that they haven’t scripted for?

    It looked to me like the WC guy was almost giggling.

    • [oliver beatty]

      Truth – but why does he have to pretend it isn’t funny? Because it’s ‘setting a bad example’?

• [Vicky Kemp]

  Wind was so strong it blew that guys pants down!  We never get storms that blow good looking guys down our streets…;-(

• [José Carlos García Linares]

  Al mal tiempo buena cara. ;D

• [JoshP]

  something was bothering me about this little web STD.. it’s not the DB from the corporate headquarters or the fratboys on their outing.  I think it has something to do with the nonplussed nature people from the Gulf have toward these things, as opposed to this woowoo its snowing lets build a kegman atmosphere. 
    I mean, I’m not talking about treating every wall of wind that blows up on shore like its Katrina, but when the odd category two decides to suicide itselt by crashing its way up into the bible belt its something you are accustomed to.  What this video has, for me, is novelty, and not exactly in a bad way.  Enjoy your hurricane East Coast, like I’ve been enjoying my twenty some odd inches of snow every winter.  It gives me an excuse to practice my cursive too.

• [Ed Hawkes]

  @Steve White -”if its so dangerous to be out Mr. what are you doing there?” That’s what I was thinking too.

  1. We know theres a storm coming.
  2. Storms can be dangerous. They can also be glorious demonstrations of natures power. There is a natural inclination to check them out. 3. Mr Media guy goes there and gets pictures taken of himself in the middle of it, looking so serious.4. Other people come to check it out.5. This affronts the monopoly on observing the world he felt was his due.6. They aren’t serious and that makes him feel stupid, which he can’t admit, so he says it “saddens” him.

  They might have put themselves at risk going out there, but then again so did he. The justification of reporting is a red herring. The young dufusses had the same right to be there he did. 

• [CharredBarn]

  I was expecting a category 3, but looked more like a cat 1.

• [Andrew Rhone]

  well he did say No Shortage

• [Brainspore]

  Reporter: “Why are you out here instead of seeking shelter?”
  Citizens: “We’re drunk! What’s your excuse?”

• [Tim Dahl]

  Did you see that junk go flying by???

• [Threedonia]

  Lighten up Francis. 

  Actually I kick the crap out of Marilyn vos Savant in trivia, so yeah… I’m a genius — a super genius.

• [Threedonia]

  Tony is that you holding the microphone rocking the Rec Specs?
