  • Shakermaker, on 10/11/2007, -18/+194Fox News will probably lead with this story tonight, and then go into something about Paris Hilton.
  • dantidote, on 10/11/2007, -4/+179He didnt try to jack the iPhone, what the hell!?!
  • sockpuppets, on 10/11/2007, -16/+122TERROR STRIKES NEW YORK AND ONLY FOX NEWS HAS IT!
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -14/+81I think he was going for the iPhone - not only was his plan idiotic but so was his attempt.
  • nucleicoutfit, on 10/11/2007, -2/+64I think he says "Give me that *****' microphone" as grabs onto the mic.
  • anteyekon4myst, on 10/11/2007, -12/+62What part of that act made him stupid:
    a) doing it in front of a CAMERA
    b) doing it in front of SECURITY
    c) getting "pwned" by the security gaurds
    d) choosing to steal a crappy fox mic(probably been up Cheney's ass at one point) when there are slightly less crappy iPhones
    e) all of the above
  • olddirtycr, on 10/11/2007, -0/+48well he said "give me that ***** mic" so I think he was going for the mic
  • mrgeekguy, on 10/11/2007, -2/+46For every iPhone story I see from now on, I kill a kitten!!!! (Okay I'll just flick it's tail ...or give it a dirty look or something.)
  • larryjgallo, on 10/11/2007, -12/+53now that is pretty funny live TV
  • ElementCDN, on 10/11/2007, -0/+40I swear to god I heard him say "I like turtles".
  • Quidam, on 10/11/2007, -15/+52Yeah sure, the guy is stupid but I think it's ***** hilarious it happened to a Fox reporter.
  • r3dsh1ft, on 10/11/2007, -21/+54ok, now to grab mics from the remaining Fox "News" "Reporters" ...
  • cklol, on 10/11/2007, -0/+31He didn't know how to run very well...
  • azntiger1000, on 10/11/2007, -5/+32Don't steal ***** on live television. What a stupid ass guy. Steal the iPhone after they are done interviewing.
  • othersomethings, on 10/11/2007, -5/+29Laura Ingle? Really? I bet she hears "Little half pint" all the time.
  • LowROI, on 10/11/2007, -0/+21Aw...they were just about to show some closeups of the rod!
  • ericdano, on 10/11/2007, -9/+26Lame. What an idiot.
  • orp2000, on 10/11/2007, -3/+20Really Sparky? Let's see you get mugged or pick-pocketed sometime and see if you think the good samaritan that jumps in and throws the guy to the ground is a jerk. Get a clue.
  • sterken, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18Yeah, because freedom of speech and freedom of the press are only good things when you agree with what is being said.

    /sarcasm
  • GirthAgain, on 10/11/2007, -45/+59What a jerk.
  • Puppetfunk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13No he intended to get the microphone. He said "give me that ***** microphone"
  • jprez, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13grab the ***** iphone you idiot. what the hell are you going to do with a fox news mic?
  • wildfire, on 10/11/2007, -9/+22If he keeps that up he might just get a Darwin Award.
  • polyGone, on 10/11/2007, -0/+12Let's think tense.
  • likeyehokwhatev, on 10/11/2007, -2/+14Seriously, he could have at least tried for both
  • Rodalli, on 10/11/2007, -3/+15I'm sure that's what the guy was going for. Who the ***** would steal a microphone when there's an iPhone literally inches away from it?

    But seeing how this guy is obviously the world's worst thief ever, he ***** up and grabbed the wrong thing. Maybe he would have been more successful had he not been looking in the opposite direction of his mark in a bid to make himself inconspicuous.
  • mandarin, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11CNN wont be around there, they only cover Paris news.
  • Navicerts, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11He says "gimmie that ***** mic (unclear), ..... don't mess with-(unclear)"

    also, before he did that while they were interviewing you can hear his voice very dim in the back ground, and the reporter jerks her head up right before saying they had a 1000 dollar bid. I dont think there was any bid, i think she was trying to recover on live tv for something else that was said, she then makes the comment about security just kidding haha (but she was for real).
  • smurf22, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11Wait he went for the mic..... wtf is he mental? I just wantes to see him run away screaming I got it, I got it!
  • TheTaoOfBill, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11Um most of the comments are calling him an idiot.
  • TheCash, on 10/11/2007, -2/+12In contrast to what, CNN's live coverage and exclusive interview with Paris Hilton?

    The best part about this video was:
    A: Laura Ingle making this putz work for that mic when wussy-boy thought he could make a clean snatch-and-grab. The ladies at CNN can't even remember to turn off their mics before bashing their coworkers in the bathroom, and
    B: The Fox crew jumping his ass within seconds, then doing a closeup of him, showing the nation what a douchebag that can't even mug a 115lb blonde looks like.
  • kriminalintent, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9It looks like he was skipping.
    update on the story video : http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/justice/updated-fox-news-iphone-grabber-gets-busted-by-the-5+0-now-with-video-273771.php
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9I dont care what news station, that guy is a jerk. Plus, a microphone? *****, I could sure use that to plan my next roadtrip!
  • bananatree, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9I hope we get some more news on this elegant gentleman in the future.
  • AClayeJ, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9http://youtube.com/watch?v=Pz8M34t0M1Y
  • loggia, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9Bill Clinton knew this was going to happen in 1998 and didn't do anything about it.
  • ccrowe1990, on 10/11/2007, -19/+26Jackass
  • amrush4th, on 10/11/2007, -10/+17Tool
  • damnyooneek, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8he's not getting his iphone today.
  • thatsmyaibo, on 10/11/2007, -2/+9Where is the button to digg your IQ up?
  • MacSuxWindozSux, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8She probably said something really really bad to him before hand and they didn't air it.

    Thats probably why he's pissed and why she mentions they might need security (before the fight).

    A geek isn't going to go ape ***** suddenly and for no reason. She did something off air.

    It's Fox news... think about it.

  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+7Okay You made me Log-in to comment....you got me. ROFL Dugg for being nice..(Okay I'll just flick it's tail ...or give it a dirty look or something.)
  • rootbat, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Sounds like the start of a new sport.... MicJack'in
  • bradkovach, on 10/11/2007, -6/+11Dammit! I wanted to see the iPhone!

    /sarcasm
  • Puppetfunk, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5No he said it WHILE he was grabbing it.
  • Minkii, on 10/11/2007, -8/+13Idiot.
  • orp2000, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Hey, c'mon, it's keeping Paris out of the news.

    I do like the flick or dirty look ideas though.
  • MacSuxWindozSux, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4If only someone tried this on Bill O'Reilly... I'd Digg that.
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+7The idiot was probably a truther, this is his world, the reporter was just interfering with his "rights to free speech" by not handing him the mic.
