Two funny videos
I’ve been a tad on the busy side, as I mentioned last week, but there have been a couple of very funny moments during the caos.
I was told about both these videos at work and I’ve hunted them down for your viewing pleasure (it really is well worth it).
The first one is in Flemish (from Belgium). Not that it matters that it’s in Flemish, you’ll get the gist anyway. All you need to know is that the man being interviewed has just had a part of his body removed by mistake.
The second is funnier . . . and quite a sweetly amusing story. A lovely young business studies graduate from the Congo, called Guy, turns up to the BBC to apply for a high level IT job. While at reception, the receptionist is asked to find Guy Kewney for an interview on downloads and mp3s or something similar. Guy Kewney is Editor of NewsWireless, European Wireless Editor of eWeek.com, does a regular back page column for IT Week, and the regular lead column for Personal Computer World.
Unfortunately receptionist makes the fatal mistake of confusing Guy, the business studies graduate from the Congo, with Guy Kewney, and Guy from the Congo is taken off to be interviewed live on TV. His expression as he realises the camera is going live and he’s supposed to be this IT guy is priceless, but he manages to pull of a stellar interview and I seriously hope the BBC hired him on the spot. Silly BBC and poor, poor guy!! See it here (thanks to the Mail for publishing this!)
Please note - this should in no way be considered as condoning laughing at others misfortune :o)
