In Videos: Brazilian Reporter Attacked by Grapes
Reporters often put their lives at risk, but how often does harm's way involve grapes? A Brazilian correspondent was filming a segment on national grape varietals in Rio Grande do Sul when suddenly, an evil vine attacked. Actually he got electrocuted. That was no vine—it was a wire! Following the shock, his news anchor colleague did a great job on her feet jumping to sports coverage. While this is a very serious matter, and we probably shouldn't laugh, it's like Steinbeck wrote Grapes of Wrath for this very headline opportunity. Watch the video after the jump.

According to the bottom of this page from April 12, 2007, "By the way, the guy is alive and well (and still a prick) and wasn’t much injured that day."
