I had completely forgotten, again, how hilariously and poignantly imcompetent mtv3 is and has always been, compared even to something like subTV, and that they own. I just remembered how crappy graphics they've always had, how their cameramen keep bumping into stuff on a regular basis in live shows, how they have the most awful cuts to commercial breaks I've ever witnessed, how the most amusing thing about them is that weatherman who always seems to be trying to attack you and is just about to come through when they cut it (not so fun to see after seeing the ring and/or suffering from a caffeine overdose)...and of course, how, when the famous loppukevennys comes in the ten o'clock news, the anchors still after a couple of decades of practice manage to sit there looking like someone just shoved a rather long stick in their arse and finding it hard to figure out who was supposed to say what next. So what was that clip then? What was it trying to be? If the aim was to show how a slightly weird reporter stalked some famous American guy for absolutely no reason, then it was a success. Now any decent dodgy reporter would have tried to get an interview and if refused one made his best to portray O'Brien's visit in a negative light. But as a dodgy channel, mtv3 is again hilariously incompetent. Instead, the reporter just let us know that the man he's stalking doesn't really want to be followed, but that he's following him anyway, for no apparent reason other than satisfying a Finnish desire to know where your neighbour is going and what they're doing. And the material he got out of it was a couple of very weird interviews where the girls who got to meet O'Brien were actually too shy to talk about it, and the same footage of O'Brien's visit that has been shown everywhere else. So basically, he just made himself look insane. Brilliant! That was amazing.
