CTV Reporter throws his microphone into the Polar Bear Pond

Toronto's CTV evening news weatherman Tom Brown was doing a report from the Zoo celebrating Halloween by tossing three pumpkins into the water for the polar bears to eat. The zoologist pitches in the first orange gourd. Tom shoots the second pumpkin into the water as if it were a basketball---And finally on the third pumpkin Mr. Brown loses his microphone into the chilly polar bear pond. Realizing that the viewers at home can no longer hear him, he plays charades as he kicks it back to the anchors in the studio. They do a good job of covering his mistake, in what I consider to be one of the funniest news bloopers of the year.
