It never fails. Send a reporter out on the street and they are bound to one day have a passerby look to steal the spotlight. This happens all the time with sports fans, who clearly do not know where the boundary is for a live news report, nor do they know when enough is enough. Fortunately, sometimes the reporter on the job snaps and lets them know they have crossed that line.

We go live to Italy where one honest sports reporter is just trying to do his job on Deadline Day of the January transfer window out on the street when some soccer fan with an inflatable banana (because who doesn’t walk about with an inflatable banana?) decides to invade the reporter’s workspace and have a little fun. The reporter, try as he might, tried to continue doing his job without melting down.

But then he snaps and establishes order, much to the joy of journalists across the world.

That’ll show him! The face on the guy after having his inflatable bana ripped from his hands is priceless. You can almost smell the fear in this guy’s act.
