Someone at the Huffington Post thinks KOCE/Channel 50's Real Orange may be joshing us.
Something that seems to be tragic happens during an on-camera interview with an Orange County Fair ice sculptor.
Here's what the unnamed Huffingtonian wrote:
Found via Vulture comes this suspicious video from the OC Fair
of a bumbling reporter effectively smashing eight hours of ice sculptor
Roland Hernandez's life, leaving them to melt on the turkey-bone
littered fairplex asphalt. Vulture astutely points out “The speed at
which [the reporter] puts the mike back into the man's face, however,
suggests premeditation”. Do you think the video is real or a hoax?
I'd lean toward real only because Real Orange has never before displayed a sense of humor.
