Amarillo Spoof Crashes MoD Computers!
This is probably old news to most of you by now, being reported on the BBC last night, but yesterday MoD computers were brought down by the mass circulation of a 52MB video clip of soldiers in Iraq performing a spoof of Tony Christie's "Amarillo" around the barracks, entitled "Is this the way to Armadillo?"
Tony Christie appeared on the BBC news article last night saying he thought the video was "fantastic" and reportedly rang the star, Staff Sgt Roger Parr, to congratulate him on his newfound fame.
The reason I've taken so long to post is that I've downloaded the full 52MB clip from the eD2k (edonkey) network and copied the URI. For those of you with access to the eDonkey network, you can download the file by following this link.
I would have posted the story this morning but the DNS servers in my work still haven't updated and so the new site isn't reachable yet. C'est la vie.
