There is the "look @ me dad" syndrome. It's usually men who didn't get enough attention from their fathers. Picture the 5 year old boy on the side of the pool about to jump in and saying repeatedly, "Look @ me dad" as his father reads a newspaper. I see adult males doing the equivalent in many variations. This is one example. I'm sure you can all think of others.
By the time you realize that it's dangerous, it may be too late to retreat.
The reporter can take his chances, but every year there's some courageous fire fighter or policeman who also dies trying to rescue a fool who shouldn't have been there in the first darned place. That's the tragedy.
Unh, what's that? Unh, dunno. Look like dog shit. Enh? Feel. Unh, feel like dog shit. Smell. HUH? SMELL! Unh, smell like dog shit. Taste. Taste??? Taste! (tasting sounds) Unh, taste like dog shit.
One of my pet peeves, It is why I both love and loathe the Weather Channel. It is a great source of weather information. Apparently, no one but I would watch if they just gave an accurate forecast and showed the radar. To get viewers they have to have people standing outside in the storm. Usually the person standing outside with trees falling all around him announces that the local police have urged every one to stay inside during this dangerous storm. Remember, all you aspiring journalists, Dan Rather was a nobody reporter at a nowhere TV station in Corpus Christi until the day he broadcast live from the beach as a hurricane came ashore. Then he became a famous network anchor. Then he became an infamous liar. Now he is a has-been.

No macho here, some reporter from each of the local stations has to do this in every hurricane, blizzard, etc.
PS Sewage or sea foam?
There really is a difference.

Good thing we no step in it.
Weather reporting is a freak show. It's reality TV, and if someone dies, well, we'll get to see it.
I love this video.

Here is an update on Irene from the coast of Maine. We have had scattered snow flurries in January that were worse than this.
Conspiracy theorists will say that the media hyped Irene to make Obama look good.
