Truth-telling
December 9th, 2010
An Irishman abroad tells it like it is !! :-).
It started out as a pretty straightforward (if somewhat sweary) crowd-pleaser of a man-on-the-street interview about Ireland's financial troubles, with the interviewee blasting the bankers, property developers, regulators and the government for thirty years of mismanagement and greed.
Then we got to the last five seconds or so. The interview went in an entirely unexpected direction, and I spent a good minute after the video ended laughing so hard I forgot to breathe.
Strongly recommended.
Edited 12 Dec 2010, 22:50 GMT to add: As it turns out, the interviewer wasn't a reporter: he was a Canadian comedian by the name of Tony Quinn. For what it's worth, the interviewee, Denis Ryan, grew up in Ireland and stands by the views he expressed in the interview. [Via MeFi user maudlin, posting here.]
