Now, something a little less ordinary.......

Aloha! We don't get BBC cock-ups everyday but we certainly got one 3 days ago where BBC News 24 were supposed to interview a technology expert about the legal battle between the Beatles' Apple Corps and Apple Computer. Instead, they interviewed his cab driver (probably amidst all the haste) who looked nothing like him! First of all he was black, didn't know anything about the story and had a thick french accent. Poor guy - watch the clip below. I found him really cute, I bet he'll get enough babes now after his 60 seconds of fame! How stupid were they? Plus look at his first expression like "Ye! Mo gbe!"vocab and then the reporter lady stuttering and uhm-ing towards the end, probably when the studio peeps realised their mistake! What if it was a Naija cab driver in London? Maybe he'd have started talking about politics or something heheh. More of the cabbie story here and if you want to know more about the court battle between Apple and Apple - click here.
