【eroticize】

It's silly season in the UK,eroticize which means the media is abundant with funny and frivolous stories to make up for the summer's slow news -- and one reporter in particular is just completely over it.

BBC News presenter Simon McCoy is so over it in fact that not even a story about the World Dog Surfing Championship can get a smile out of him. He even prefaces the segment with, "Just bear in mind, it is August," setting up the clip with as much silly season enthusiasm as he can muster.

We didn't think it was possible to be this unhappy while reporting on surfing pups, but sheesh, were we wrong. Is he talking about pups or the stock market?

His exasperated sighs can be heard over clips of the event -- a stark juxtaposition to the footage of happy doggies splashing carelessly in the waves. This man has had it with all the silliness.

Maybe he's seen one too many dogs surf and now he's unimpressed. Perhaps he had higher aspirations to only report on cats and now he's stuck doing dog stories.

Dogs surfing = BORING. Tough break, dude.
