Sheep Cam

    Sheep with cameras at the Tour de France? Ewe better believe it
    To capture the opening stage of the Tour de France, Sony has reportedly strapped “action cameras” onto five sheep who will be grazing in a pasture the peloton will pass this coming Saturday.


    The sheep are owned by farmer Ian Hammond, who will control the cameras remotely. The sheep, and Hammond, live in Yorkshire, England which is where the Tour de France is starting this year.


    “Locally we are really looking forward to the Tour de France coming through Yorkshire,” Hammond told the Daily Mail. “I’m looking forward to seeing how my flock perform as Sony’s first ever sheep cam.”
    The sheep do not appear to share Hammond’s enthusiasm, buckled as they are into awkward looking harnesses on which the cameras are borne. Also, they are sheep.


    The strangest thing about all of this (to me, at least) is that the Tour de France is starting in England. Like, seriously? Is that even allowed?

    Sheep are well known for their camera skills, hunting down the best angles, unfortunately they do tend to prefer to shoot in black and white as opposed to colour and because they can not talk and have hooves with no opposable thumbs their ambitions are often gone in a bleating moment......

    Unless it's bent over (cue puns) eating all day is that sheep not just going to film the back of its head all the time!?

    Also, just to be clear, I assume this is a joke or is it for real?
