I wish the news was always like this

Don’t you?

Where do you even begin…?

The brick wall, the sheet of paper, the looking at the sheet of paper, the pauses, the reading, the BLATANT reading…

Pagan thanks to the brill Alice Lowe (from the ace Garth Marenghi) for this amazinossity.

    My favourite bit is when the guy says 'hello' before launching into his speech, as if we hadn't noticed he was there before.

    This is the most boring thing I have ever watched in my life. I made it half way through and I skipped through even that.
  • The smug grin on her face at 4.00 that says "Yes, that is exactly what I think too, I was right!". The cameraman seems to get sick of her a few seconds later.

    I'm confused by the edits. What could they have cut? If they were trying to fix the pacing, the edits were way off.

    "Teen Witches" I think I rented that one. What's with that sign off "magic is everywhere" "and so is TV" (Stevie?), what does that even mean?
  • That was so strange.

    There's no point in "being" pagan if you can't tell people about it on the Internet. What a perfect outlet!

    Clearly they come from the Leslie Nielsen school of deadpan.
  • I skipped ahead and appreciated the comments by the male speaker that the central theme through the Harry Potter books were about racism, prejudice and the subversion of government by a radical group led by Valdemorte to promote prejudice and conflict.

    He also confirmed what JK Rowling said, that the Harry Potter books were purely fiction and not about Wicca.

    He does make a good point that prejudice does exist towards Wiccans in our own society and discouraged fellow Wiccans from calling those who are not Pagans, Muggles. :D

    just nice to see to people having a conversation, although they should turn their chairs to one another - I think they are unaware their natural banter is being filmed
  • How about the off-centre, mildly tilted, camera angles? The background buzzing... the hilariously unsubtle edits... the girl pretending to listen by nodding her head in fake agreement (I presume the edits take place while the girl is fed questions to ask the man)... was this actually broadcast on something?

    And seriously, is that all the news there is in the Pagan world that night? Harry Potter is popular? Stop the presses!!!

    Actually the guy makes some good points, but ow this is awkward to watch.. and its Roh-ling you silly woman
