Mixed Signals

December 5, 2001: Rome, NY

Rome, New York -- A celebrity cameraman who got a little over-eager while filming a women's volleyball game was ejected from the arena by the referee after he appeared to zoom in on more than just the ball.

Former presidential candidate Ron was asked to be a celebrity cameraman (ala the NBA on NBC) and quickly jumped at the opportunity.

"I love women's athletics," Ron said in cold sweat. "So fluid...so smooth...so nice."

Following complaints from the players that he was focusing on body parts that had nothing to do with volleyball, and four warnings from the referee, the guest cameraman for MTV television was told to switch off his camera and leave.

Ron argued that he had just been doing his job at the weekend game between club teams Marini and Vajina, while a spokesman for MTV Sports said on Monday it was all about full coverage.

"In volleyball communication is not always verbal," he said.

"Sometimes the players use certain gestures -- for example touching their lower back to send messages. That's all our cameraman was filming."

"Yeah! That's it!" exclaimed Ron. "They were...uh...sending signals. Ummmm....they were...touching each other and...uh...they were sending signals."
