Peter Andre on Sky News

faceless · admin Joined: 25 Apr 2006

I happened to have Sky News on yesterday and heard them say that they'd have an interview with Peter Andre at 3:30. I thought it was bound to get a good few hits, so started capping it - not knowing that it would end with him in tears... RESULT!

I uploaded it to youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLXcQNQJ0qk ) and waited to see how it would go. Within a few minutes it had hundreds of hits, and at the last count it's had 160 000 views. That beats even the Peter Kay video that I uploaded a while back. Only a few people have ripped my version off this time though...

Thing is, I've again had a pile of messages from pyramid schemes asking me to put their advert in and that they'd pay me if I got hits for them. I told them all that they should either offer cash upfront or fuck off... and one of them didn't like that at all! Apparently I've no understanding of how business works... ah well, the next time I'm thinking of putting an advert in the local paper I'll tell them I'll only pay if I get work from it, I'm sure they'd agree to that!

I don't really know who this guy is, or what kid he's talking about. I believe I know that he used to be married or together with Katie Price who is also known as Jordan. What's the deal with the kid? What's that all about?

Did you not watch the I'm A Celeb with him and Jordan in it? Tsk tsk, I thought you knew your pointless celeb rubbish pirty!

I think the kid Harvey is blind and almost deaf too - he's the son of the footballer Dwight York.

Nah, I must of missed that one! How did I miss that one???? I watch them all! lol! Was that the year I was preparing to move to Denmark? Ah, shite! I guess I'll have to google it or wiki it to find out the whole story as to how they got involved with another man's disabled son. Sounds like a big mess though, that's for sure.

the disabled boy is the child of jordan ( katie price ) and the footballer dwight york. they got together after jordan split from dane bowers ( who was in cbb with her latest husband alex ). after dwight and jordan split she got together with peter andre on i'm a celeb. apparently dwight york hasn't had much to do with the kid, and peter has been there for the kid more than him.

i don't even know why i know all that Embarassed

8th most viewed today, globally! That's quite mad really. I put in a link to the site here from the outset, and so far about 250 people have clicked it. So that's 1 in 1000 who've clicked - and of those there's been ONE signup. Now that's impressive!

I'm surprised at the amount of hits from the Netherlands. I wonder why that is?

upon clicking the above link again, I get a note from a real dickhead,

"This video contains content from Virgin Media, who has decided to block it in your country. "

WTF !!

however, using MY virtual private network, I learn that the hits have reached above 330,000.

Nice.

Fuck you Mr Branston, and all the prostitutes that work in your inadequate and totally inept "IT" dept.

haha yeah, I was wondering how Virgin Media have claimed it. It's owned by Sky News, though I do use a vigin cable box.

I wondered what claim the whores @ virgin could possibly have.

It does make me wonder how far this censorship could go, (edit) and how automated it is.

Maybe I should google it Smile

and, i wonder what would happen if I uploaded it from my utoob account ?

there's definitely some automation involved, but that's usually only with audio as far as I know. I uploaded a compilation of clips from Big Brother last week and it was sniped as being channel 4 copyright within minutes. I think it was because I left a bit of the intro music in, because there was nothing else that was really identifiable.

You should try uploading and see what happens, and could you check if the other versions of the video are also blocked?
