Taxi Driver Punditry and Party BuddYS

I almost have no time at all to post today, but I have two funny tidbits I thought people might enjoy:

* An anchor on BBC news mistook a taxi driver for an internet expert in the lobby of the television studios, and without double-checking his identity, went on-air and interviewed him briefly about the Apple versus Apple trademark battle. Three questions were asked, and the anchor didn't even seem to raise an eyebrow. This brings self-proclaimed punditry to another level! Click here for the video clip.

* And here's another thing a friend recently alerted me to, that I find utterly ridiculous: ever want to be a celebrity for a night? Apparently you can go to Party Buddys, a "lifestyle" service that makes you feel like a celebrity for a day, complete with your own paparazzi, entourage ("groupies"), bodyguards and V.I.P. club service. Alright, alright. I get that some people might go for this, but seriously, can we spell the plural of "buddy" correctly, at least?

Could someone please do this and tell me how it is? Or more importantly, how much it'll set you back?
