Eventually all TV reporters will be wrapped in a protective bubble...

The world of TV journalism must look so glamorous from the outside with the perception of fame, parties and recognition all looming large, but there is the other side of it too. While we all want the life of Anchorman's man in the field Brian Fantana, the reality is that you usually end up reporting from the middle of nowhere, dealing with the public and risking being embarrassed at any moment. We feel the literal pain of Australia's Seven News US Bureau Chief, Mike Amor, after his segment on the new Hendo Hoverboard ended up with him getting a smack in the back of the head by a rouge flying skateboard. It's a great story, compelling and rich. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhKCQxaZXIA Clip via - SunriseOn7
