Holy christ, I thought that was a Mr. Show sketch or something by the end. Is this what passes for journalism these days?

oh my god, it only gets better too.. the shot of the "bear" "running" through the woods (and climbing the tree) is priceless.

Someone should take the audio and put it on top of a video of not-animal-bears-but-gay-hairy-guy-bears like they did with the audio from that Anderson Cooper 360 clip about the sun bear cubs.

"Oh look, he's falling asleep!"

The sad thing is, most Fox News watchers now totally think that was a real bear.

Holy crap. This thing is brilliant. What happened to that reporter? Is he still working there? Because that is a man who is having fun with his job.

And the way he says everything completely seriously... this guy needs to be on the Daily Show. There's no way he's not in on the joke.

See that "Added June 10, 2009" on the YouTube sidebar? That's when everyone else saw this.

@8— ohmygod. I'm so sorry. How embarrassing. I'll take this post down immediately. I hope I didn't waste any of the time you were spending doing fucking nothing with your life.

"It was an adrenaline rush, and I think maybe you can only take one of those a year."

What a sad way to live your life.

This is the inevitable outcome of Jon Stewart being named America's best newsman.

@7: Funny, I thought this looked exactly how like how a Daily Show parody of a local newscast about a bear sighting would look.
