Get thee to the BBC iPlayer and watch Wonderland: Virtual Adultery and Cyberspace Love. It seems love really is just a matter of cup size and scimitar length.
‘Lee thinks there’s something wrong in his marriage. His wife Carolyn won’t let him in the bedroom - always a bad sign, I think - and he has to sleep in the living room. He’s right, Carolyn is having an affair. And, frankly, poor Lee doesn’t stand a chance. The new guy, Eliot, is everything Lee isn’t: a tall, chiselled hunk, with a no-nonsense attitude, who wears just a pair of jeans, a sword and a couple of Uzis. Lee tells Carolyn he feels like Forrest Gump. Possibly not the best way to go about winning her back.

When I die You Tube will owe me a large part of my life back and whilst sipping Martini’s in Hell, I’ll ponder just how close Jeremy Beadle and You Tube are and whether one is the demonic spawn of the other. It’s Friday so there’s wit and meaning in this clip from Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace.
Media content silos should open their vaults and let the content run amok on You Tube and if the lawyers disagree just get the work experience ladyboy to stick a dv cam in front of the boxed set and put it on You Tube anyway, because everyone else is. By releasing it officially you’d control the quality and build brand awareness and promote DVD sales.
Can anyone tell where all the online video guides are? Not the community stuff, but an independent editorial voice? Isn’t it time we re-invented the TV Guide?
For your Friday reading pleasure, Tamil filtered through the warped minds of data inputers.
More recently the same video has been accredited to Wal-Mart, though the ‘the prices are low and so are our wages’ subtitle is enlightening. The original video was posted on You Tube a year ago. Read the rest of this entry »
