Fox News Detroit Likes The Legend of Zelda?

[flowplayer=http://media2.myfoxdetroit.com/video/2009/07/21/10-P-HOS-EMPLOYMENT.flv width=320 aspect=.75]​

Looks like someone at the local Detroit branch of Fox News has the Triforce on the brain, if this investigative segment is anything to go by.

At first, it seems like nothing more than your standard local Fox News segment, with nary a thing out of the ordinary: A scam employment agency, an angry ex-con with a chip on his shoulder, etc. Not worth giving much thought unless it's the sort of thing you're into, right?

Wait a second - skip to the 0:55 mark. What's this I hear? No, if you've played Zelda (specifically The Ocarina of Time,) this is unmistakable. One can only wonder why the sound people at Fox Detroit chose to use this particular brand of music - were they trying to say that people looking for work should just start smashing pots and cutting grass until they find all the rupees they need for a bigger Bomb Bag?

I'm not really sure if I want to know the answer to that.

Very amusing.

Makes me want to run around a Forrest in skimpy tights and a skirt.

Interesting, since I sometimes watch them for my local news, this is the guy I'd expect would use this kimd of music.

 

[BehattedWanderer]

...the Hell, FOX news? I can almost hear the "Yaa!" and the patter of booted feet running around on wood flooring. I'm...so confused.

 

[That WoW Player]

Yeah I heard it and had a flashback to sitting in front of my N64 and walking into that building in OoT just inside the gate that had all the pots in it.

Something tells me that their video team is in trouble

I think there's got to be some group that provides people with this sort of music without telling them the source. I've heard Splinter Cell's music on Top Gear before, and I swear they used Lost Oddessy's main theme once.

Looks like we have an editor on the inside......

 

[Ken_J]

I works and Zelda is a good series so whats the big deal, oh right people have an unjustified hatred for Fox news.

 

[Casual Shinji]

Who cares what they like?

 

[chronobreak]

That was hilarious, when it started I almost fell off my chair! However, I am worred that this will turn into another Fox News bashing thread, I would ask that you remain vigilant so that does not happen. Also:

Not worth giving the time of day unless you're the sort of person who'd watch Fox in the first place, right?

What sort of people watch Fox, if you don't mind me asking?

 

[Soxafloppin]

I wonder if that breaches copy right, if not, they why the fuck not, Mortal kombat theme next time bitches.

Or better yet, be forced to by your grandmother.

I saw this on the news and I thought to myself "that's something that might end up on the Escapist."

Looks like I was right.
Hooray!

 

[Gigaguy64]

man.... that was awesome. i wonder how many rupies those jobs those people are trying to get pay.

Is this for real? Like, someone in the Escapist staff saw this?

Erm... I wasn't concentrating at all on the music - American news is wierd.

1. English news, each topic is brushed over for about 5 seconds.

2. The hall of shame? WTF?

3. We barely ever intervene.

4. When we do intervene, however, we are intelligent enough to use hidden cameras.

One moment. FOX news != American News. FOX News is sensationalist journalism. And even then, that's not even indicative of FOX News normally.

It's not bad, just really out of place on fox news, the channel that called Mass Effect pornography. I gotta wonder if they actually knew where it came from...

That's not illegal, is it?
I'm pretty sure that's covered under 'fair use', since they aren't using it for commercial advertising.

OK. Sorry, it's just the most famous, isn't it.

Well, in England it is.

Infamous. It's infamous here too. CNN is famous. MSNBC is famous. FOX is infamous.
