@Irishk,
There's nothing surreal about it Irish. I take it in my stride. When Emma Hurd is at the rapidly fluctuating front line, well 5 miles back actually, possibly in the studio in front of a large screen the viewer can't see the edges of, in an Army Helmet of a drab green colour, pretending she knows what's going on so that the couchie can imagine he or she does, --that's in my surreal range.
The ads are pretty good too. At first, in view of the seriousness of the situation, Sky News gave up its income from ads, I suppose out of respect, but after 9 days that's all gone by the board because the situation is not as serious in proportion as we get bored with it.
Then up pops Kate Burley, once seen floating towards the camera gusset first on one of the ice-dancing shows resting on the shoulders of her partner, interviewing four Gadiffi soldiers in hospital in Benghazi and them all telling her what a bastard Gadaffi is. Really touching. Cut to ad--"It's not the meerkat dot com--it's the
MARKET dot com. Geddit?"
