Jacob Calle, a filmmaker who runs the website Hurricanebear.com, dressed up in a bear suit and walked along the Galveston Seawall during the day on September 12 in an obvious attempt to draw attention to himself. And my goodness did it work! Calle was fetured on CNN, Al-Jazeera, the Wall Street Journal, and the Galveston County Daily News, gaining all kinds of publicity for his silly gestures.
A reporter for the Weather Channel has his report diverted by another attention streaker – or "seeker". It's so funny that toward the end, the Weather Channel reporter begins to realize what's happening and holds his laughter to complete the report as professionally as possible.

Funny how the person and their driver, just as Calle did, knew just when to come into the picture and act silly.
