Fighting off the winter blues

I stumbled across this video today while randomly browsing YouTube, and decided to watch it and read some of the comments. It was during the course of reading these comments (or at least some of them- there's nearly 2000 at the time of writing this) I found out that a British newspaper decided that they were going to get outraged by this. I, personally, fail to understand why this is something to get annoyed at. Okay, yes, it was unprofessional, but I think that it's hard to stay "on form" for every hour of every day. There's going to be a point when the non-working persona of someone will start to appear.

I want to make one thing clear at this point- as a British citizen myself, I pay taxes that pay for the police, etc. If we were going to get technical, those police are sliding down the hill on my money- I help pay their wages and for their equipment, so this is technically true. But honestly, this behaviour doesn't bother me. Okay, so the police like to have fun. So what? Don't we all? We've got far bigger things to be worried about than a few policemen (gasp) enjoying themselves.
