Mistaken Identity

Well, the BBC accidentally pulled a cab driver guy who was there for a job interview in for a live interview (links to boingboing.net post) instead of the guy they really wanted. Blah blah they wanted Guy Kewney's opinion on the Apple vs. Apple case. The case was interesting, but what I really want to know is how much BBC backstage was freaking out while this woman interviews the wrong guy. And just in case you want to know how much they messed up, here's the comparison:

This is Guy Kewney. He's an IT journalist, blah blah netnewswire geek geek something. Guy Kewney had the grace to point out that the guy below isn't a taxi driver. (netnewswire link)



This is NOT Guy Kewney. His name is Guy Goma, thus the misunderstanding. He's a French taxi driver guy from Congo who was there for an IT job interview, He also had the grace to play along. He should totally get hired for not making the BBC look stupider.



Now, don't you want to click the link (which links to the YouTube clip)? Oh yes you do.

Hilarious.
