Soldiers "spoof" Amarillo Video

[kat]

THE SUN said that British squaddies in Iraq made a spoof video taking off the song "Is this the way to Amarillo" and so many people downloaded it that MOD computer systems crashed.
But, according to the BBC, the MOD is taking the matter lightly, and they told reporters that the spoof was hilarious and it was important to keep the morale of the soldiers high.

Download it and see for yourself HERE (http://www.ghost-rider.filmstars.co.uk/)

Dont think they want us to see it :( :angry:

[Netty]

It just flashes "404 error" at me!

I have seen a clip on the BBC news site - but its only about 30 seconds.

[Ravenfire]

Ive seen it on there as well. Angel can you send me the clip please if you managed to download it.

[angel1980]

Bloody things given me a virus!! Well i'm assuming thats what it is, i was trying to send it to Kat but kept saying unsafe and stuff and run a scan and 2 infected objects have been found. :ac39:

[kat]

Sorry mate thought it would be safe after seeing it on the NEWS :sign07:

[kat]

The link is also on the Inquirers website too

Oh just checked it again and after the link it say's VIEW THE full video, here. Whoops. That one's gone down.

[angel1980]

It's ok mate, not your fault. :-)

[Ravenfire]

You've reminded me I need to do a virus scan so Im doing my trend micro one now. Which one do you use?

[angel1980]

I did the free AVG scan, but it said it couldn't remove it, so i did the trend micro scan which said the same, it said it was because it is in use. ;)

[Macaroni]

I think its great !!!

[Netty]

Heard on the radio this morning that they are going to donate the video to "Comic Relief" - good if it can raise morale for the guys over there and raise money for those in need.

Well the main one involved Staff Sergeant Roger Parr's family live in Llandudno and it is mentioned in the North Wales Weekly News.
