Have you ever watched a newscast and seen the same shots show up over and over again? Fat people walking down the street from the neck down? Smokers lighting up a butt outdoors? Partiers downing beer with friends?
That's stock footage that gets used when there's no new footage to show.
Sometimes those shots have to be retired because we've all seen them too many freakin' times. Such is the case with this classic clip. This will be the very last time you see the fake dead bird with his feet in the air, used too often in a West Nile Virus story.
So long, fake dead bird with his feet in the air. We hardly knew ye.
