Reporter has mic stolen during iPhone interview, recovers ungracefully
We're quite aware of the mayhem that went on during the buildup to the iPhone launch, and while it may cross someone's mind to purloin the oh-so-coveted device just hours before it went on sale to the public, we can't imagine a Fox News microphone being an acceptable substitute. 'Course, we've no way of really reading the vigilante's mind, but a brief iPhone interview was cut even shorter by a random mic stealer. Click on through for the zaniness as it happened, and kudos to the reporter on not just bailing out while she had the chance.[Thanks, Matt]

This is super awesome, but what I like even better are the interactive little Mac OS-like taskbar icon thingies at the bottom of the video afterwards. I'm an infrequent youtuber so those are new to me. But cool!

Actually Steve, the guy said "Dont fucking mess with me." not give me that fucking mic...
But in any case I thought that was hilarious. :)

No, he actually did say give me that fu#*ing mic, and THEN he said don't fu^%in mess with me, watch the full version then you'll hear it.
either way, not that it matters -- looks like the photographer aka "Hollywood" took care of the thief.

The guy on the right with a brown shirt helped a little. He gave him the 1 2 elbow push.

The guy says, "Fuck, the mic!" as in "Fuck, I just grabbed the wrong thing." He was actually reaching for the iPhone not the microphone. The news anchors are just too stupid to realize that.
