A weatherman reporting for the weather channel is having a rough go. He’s trying to do his report in what appears to be very high winds. Leaning forward, and shifting his stance to stay upright. He’s really working it. Thespis would be proud. Because while he’s giving his performance, two guys walk into the back of the shot and for some reason, the winds are different where they are.
