BBC Mistakes A Fridge For A Video Tape
from the the-madness-of-labels dept
The perfect Friday time wasting story. It appears that someone rushed an important video tape to a BBC office recently. The label on the tape was falling off, so someone in the mailroom replaced it. However, he or she took the original label and happened to stick it to the lunch room fridge. The end result should be listened to in order to fully appreciate what happened, but the sender of the tape received a hilarious voicemail message wondering why they had sent a "six-foot fridge" instead of the needed video tape. Such is life in a hectic news room.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
