The BBC excelled itself in the comedy stakes last week. Click the YouTube pic to see what the fuss is all about. From the BBC itself.

I’m already getting people saying: “Get that ‘guy’ a blog.” A sentiment with which I fully concur. And as Alex Barnett says:
So who said We the Media… was overrated?
To me, this ranks up there alongside Delboy and Rodney being under the wrong chandelier. Of course I’m sure the real Guy doesn’t see things in quite the same light.
So maybe the social computing mavens really are correct. Anyone can be an expert.
