webcameron vodcast with Boris Johnson

webcameron vodcast

Yesterday at work, we released the first episode of the Webcameron video podcast, featuring the charasmatic and very wacky Boris Johnson. You can subscribe to it with iTunes here, or with the XML feed here.

It somehow found it’s way on to the HolyMoly site and managed to crash their servers!

This was how they introduced it…

“It’s certainly a week for audio and video:
I think this is a bit of an exclusive. Basically, my mole nicked this from the PC of a senior MP and wacked it over to me.
It is the next installment of the Cameron webcast thingy, but the Tories have obviously listened to their critics and got Boris Johnson to do the opener. He is, as you’d expect, all over the fucking shop. Do you know anyone else that keeps a single sheet of A2 paper in their desk drawer?
And shit the bed – how long has that cake been there?

and this was the message later that day…

Blimey what a day.
We got over half a million people hitting the site in very short space of time and the poor site just fucked off on holiday.The clever hosters have widened the pipe (whatever the fuck that means) and have assured me it won’t happen again.But of course it will – it’s the internet and they are born liars. They told me if I held my hand up to the screen I would be teleported into eBayland, a world of wonderous bric a brac and fake prada coats, where office furniture is given away and i can get a crack for my region2 DVD player. But they lied. They lied my moles.

Anyway, the reason the site died was becuase dickhead here thouht it would be OK to put a 23mb video of Boris Johnson looking at cake. It wasn’t OK. You can have a look at it here though – it is relatively amusing.”
