OMG.
In what has to be the funniest thing I’ve seen all year, the BBC apparently ran an interview with a man who was supposed to be Guy Kewney, a technology expert, but instead put a taxicab driver job applicant who was in the lobby of the network at the time on the air. (You can see the video at the link above)
Phil Gomes, who pinged me about this this morning, had some fun with the story, even getting a poke in at FairPlay. More details over at Guy Kewney’s blog, where he is most certainly taking this well. Well, after he had this to say.
[update 12:29pm 5/15] As it turns out, he’s NOT a taxicab driver after all, but an applicant for an IT job at the BBC who thought this was an “initiation prank,” Kewney informs. That’s okay, though, Phil’s FairPlay joke still stands.
