Animated Media Presenters

Now, this nom isn’t restricted to just wimmin, but they are the culprits in the vast majority of cases.
I think we can all recognise media-savvy well trained speakers who blight our TV screens with endless head nodding and animated arm and hand movements that are well beyond Parkinson’s and bordering on Epilepsy.
There was some aspiring junior reporter that crammed in the full quota of presenting nous, but to me, she was bordering on offering her heady oversight in semaphore. A couple of flags was all that was required.
I don’t really know if any of the ISAC faithful are cut from the same cloth or have a background in delivering presentations, lectures or training, but having endured some formal training many years ago, I was always told that any gimmicks or gestures were employed to distract the audience from what was being said. Or in other words, if you need to move around, or move your hands or head, then what you were saying was essentially crap.
Sorry folks, can’t find a link but any daily news bulletin will do…

better help

  1. It’s probably because the general public aren’t buying what the media is shovelling any more.

    That pencil necked prick Robert peston being a prime example.

    • Prime example indeed Barry. I don’t know whether he talks truth or bullshit because I find his delivery utterly unbearable. When he appears I change channel immediately. He makes me wonder how people can be so inarticulate and how the fuck the decision is made to put such folks on television. Time was when TV presenters looked respectable and spoke clearly but long ago now it seems. I once heard a discussion/argument between Kelvin Mackenzie and a French female journalist. She spoke English with a strong French accent but the sound was beautiful, like birdstrong. He on the other hand speaking his native language, sounded like coke under a door. The contrast was striking.

  2. All signs come fairly natural to me and can tell straight off if anyone is trying to pull the wool over my eyes. I seem to have the gift of an inserted lie detector in my presence.

    • If I can remember correctly, that yankiefide character max headroom had everyone stuttering at the time.

  3. “move around, or move your hands or head, then what you were saying was essentially crap… ”

    Not sure about that,
    Hitler and Mussolini were animated orators.
    They swayed the opinion of millions of countrymen.

    Someone stood frozen and speaking doesn’t exactly show passion in a subject.
    May as well use a glove puppet.

    • I see what you mean Mis, it depends also from countries like Italy and France who are animated similar to conductors who vary in their actions. I have to say myself having become the glove puppet due to rheumatoid arthritis in the mits and feel embarrassed at showing them. That’s a laugh in its self.

      • Also with an add on Mis, I remember you liking one of my choices in popular music and I’ve recently been listening to The Blue Nile from the 80s & 90s. Give them a go. A bit dated, but I still enjoy them.

    • Hitler was a brilliant orator.
      We need a leader like him.
      Just replace ‘Jew hatred’ with ‘darkıe hatred’ and we’re good to go!

      • Indeed Mr Cunt Engine.

        Those naughty Lederhosen nutcases invented a problem that needed “solving”..

        Whereas our Cunts simply imported a very real one.

      • Hallo nochmal, meine kleinen Europaphobikers !!!
        I prefer to call it `motivational speaking`.
        And don`t forget to tune into the majesty of Eurovision later on where I`m sure Deutschland wird triumphieren with douze points – and of course Israel nul, as it`s always been !!

  4. Body language like tilting your head, crossing your legs, touching your nose blah blah all mean something according to the article.

    But it doesn’t say what scratching your balls means.

  5. Television programmes almost always get it wrong.

    Watch any American courtroom scene and you will notice that when the lawyers get up to question a witness or defendant they always button their jackets up.

    In ‘hidden’ language this is a defensive signal.
    It doesn’t show openness or a desire to listen.

    The exact opposite of what they are trying to achieve.

    The police are trained to a small degree in body language.
    To fuck them up if you are ever questioned, look up and to the left if you are lying to them and up and to the right if you are telling them the truth.

    That’s the opposite of normal.

    Better still, don’t talk to the cunts at all.

  6. The BBC environment reporter Justin Rowlat cannot keep his arms/hands still whilst delivering his propergander.
    What a Cunt.

    • Ho ho, brilliant!
      We need a salesperson at work…that woman who thinks she’s a parrot would be ideal.
      I’ve had a quick look on the dark web and the only sort of lesbian porn that can’t be found is lesbos with Tourettes.

      • I don’t know why tourettes is still a thing. It’s been known for years that like autism, 90% of cases can be cured immediately by a punch in the mouth.

        I knew of a case in Cornwall where a guy who was regarded as the village idiot and generally indulged was taken to A&E with some minor injury. There he continued to do his thing of intermittently barking like a small dog. The reg told him if he continued to do it she would throw him out without treating him. He stopped yapping.

  7. Lucy Verasamy the weather girl can be quite animated, but as a weather girl that’s kind of her job.

    The only reason i mention Lucy is because I would very much like her brought to my tent smeared in Nutella and wrapped in cling film.

    phwoah!

    • ” another BBC arm waving talentless cunt”

      Are there any BBC presenters today who can seriously be described any other way?

      To be fair, I don’t watch anything on the BBC these days, so if anyone wants to recommend someone who’s worth the time of day, I’d be happy to give them a go.

  8. Matt Frewer – aka Max Headroom – was in Robin of Sherwood.
    He was King John’s personally appointed assassin.

  9. Didn’t MTV Europe dabble in this sort of shit in the 90s?

    Mind you, some of their lady VJs gave me the horn back in the day.
