Watch a BBC Newsreader Lose the Will to Live While Reporting on a Dog-Surfing Comp

#Journalism

We here at Student Edge get immense pleasure from reporting the latest updates from the animal world.

(It goes without saying, #RIPHarambe.)

Whether it be cats running for public service, a Rat Café, or dogs going to school, we are intensely fascinated by the animal kingdom’s attempts to imitate our human ways of life.

But not all esteemed journalists feel the same way.

BBC News presenter Simon McCoy could not fake even the slightest bit of enthusiasm for his network’s story on a dog-surfing competition, dying inside while saying the words, “This does not look like a walk in the park.”

You can hear him audibly sigh and lament the state of his career below.

The only way this BBC report on a dog-surfing competition could be better is if the anchor closed with "kill me now" pic.twitter.com/PyGJbzlkHR
