In Ireland at least
Exceptionally high pun density in there. Good work local news anchors!
Wow, no joking about the puns there 😛
Ah sure RTE have the occasional warm mooving story.
I’ll be getting back to my project then….
He certainly wasn’t taking any crap from that butcher down the back of the shop. Udderly brilliant.
Would now be the time to whisper Cowengate… for more reasons than the obvious…
RTE do a piece on a news programme with music and puns galore and it’s ok to do so? It’s ok for one bit of bovine but not another!
my culchie wife, when I showed her this, first thing she said was “is it a bullock or a bull?” you can take the culchie out of Kildare, but…
don’t ask me, I’m a jackeen! I don’t even know what the difference is. apparently it’s a bullock though. whatever.
One’s got balls, the other has had them, erm, removed. “Bullock” doesn’t easily lend itself to as many puns though.
Look at around the one minute mark – the woman waves a hanky like a matador – classic.
Wow. Just wow & fair play to them for milking it!
Though also being a culchie from Kildare, I didn’t think to doubt whether it was a bull or not.
On the otherhand we have been used to so much bull of late, its really hard to tell the difference
I just love the line “He passed a Tesco to come to us”. Now there’s a valued SuperValu manager!
This is what RTE call news reporting? Bull puns and bluegrass music? Shouldnt they leave this kind of schlock to TV3? Another reason not to get a TV licence.
Good Lord – how many puns was she trying to fit into that opening line! Something tells me we won’t be seeing her again any time soon.
@Maman: exactly what I was thinking. I think this piece offends all bovine creatures and certainly offends my sensibilities. I’ll be asking RTE to remove this piece from their website and issue a broadcast apology.
@Eoin I agree, it should be gone, the mooner the better.
I can’t believe the amount of airplay and coverage this has received – it happened about one month ago. I know as it happens to be my neighbours ‘bullock’! Yes…this happens to be a supermarket in my local town and I would go as far as to say the manager set this up just so it could kick the boot into Tesco
This could give it a run for its money: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCYIa-gDRfI
Ha ha classic, if only it was a china shop
was on the news at 8pm in Italy
