Dot Com Pho – Sort of Cinematic Edition

We should totally get together and sing a theme song for Dot Com Pho. We can get all sorts of Dot Com Moguls to join us. Sort of like "We Are The World"...but, y'know, really terrible and off-tune.

Well, if we had Leo, it'd just be another episode of Battlestar Galactica :)

I got "sick" when watching this video, sometimes it was too much foggy...

Perhaps Stephen is in the learning process and want to get used to this skill, anyway just be patient, I believe Stephen will have something cool comes up soon. :D

BBC borrowed it from the Allman Brothers. The song was known as "Jessica" decades before Top Gear got a hold of it.

That's your Top Gear fact of the week.

Looking forward to next weeks, preferably something about why Richard Hammond finds it impossible to have his girly locks cut?

But chances are, Top Gear got permission or paid for the right to use the tune. :P

BBC seems to do whatever they want which makes for the best television programming on the planet!

You're joking aren't you? The BBC is probably the most regulated television company anywhere in the western world. There's 40 something million license payers that jump on their backs about anything and everything.

But when they do it right the quality is absolutely superb, the nature stuff in particular.

They may be regulated, but clearly they are not regulated in the same manner. It's like saying the driving laws in the UK and Canada are the same when they are in fact not.

The stuff they pull off (and pull) on that network would never make it to air in some places, particularly here. Whatever regulations they are cavorting around with clearly don't affect the quality or the entertainment value of the programming which is the most important thing at the end of the day.

I stand by what I said.

You're still wrong though. The BBC don't do whatever they want to do. They work within a very strict framework of regulation that applies to them where they are based, the UK. The regulation of the BBC is actually much stricter than any of the other broadcasters in the UK, they even have their own standards charter, that's the point I was making.

If you're trying to say that the BBC is considered "way out there" compared to what is allowed in Canada then I'm really glad I don't live there. Some British channels even show boobies.

Anyhoo, I like the BBC, sure it's another tax to pay but unlike a lot of stuff they give great VFM.

You cast the net to cover the western world. Therefore, the strict framework of the BBC is like a free for all in other countries. Boobies and all.

If you had said UK ONLY then I have no point of reference since I only watch BBC shows. But since you said Western World, then I still stand by what I said.

"BBC seems to do whatever they want which makes for the best television programming on the planet!"

The BBC makes great programs because it's not competing for advertising money by making programs for the lowest common denominator. Instead it has a accountability to the entire British public.

I probably shouldn't have mentioned the western world, I can only go on the bits I've seen which is most of Europe, North Africa, a lot of North and South America. I'm yet to see any TV that is more restricted than the BBC. I'll probably get over to Canada early next year though where no doubt I'll be proven totally wrong by the hollier than though content pumped out on Canadian TV. :)

If you've ever played Guitar Hero you'll know that it was called Jessica, as well.

When I play a computer game I prefer it to use my imagination and take me away to things I can't do in "real life". Conquering alien planets, living after a nuclear war, driving a formula 1 car etc etc Anyone can pick up a real Guitar and impress real chicks for less than £100. It's not just Guitar Hero, I won't play soccer games either cos its much more fun to join a real team and don't get me started on The Sims ;)

I just did because Gary did. Hope nobody sees me do it and does it themselves!

Looks like a did it right!

Vimeo looks so much better than YouTube.

Second that. Vimeo rules. Way higher quality and it will even allow you to replace a video on the fly unlike YouTube.

Well now you've seen the world through the eyes of John Chow! LOL

LMAO stephen,,,

Did John help explain it to you? If you pop it into your USB drive and connect to 'DoYouPoken', you should be able to get it all set up for use. Then you just high four other pokens and exchange contact info with other show attendees, friends, etc.

It seems as if you have a lot of fun with that!
Also a lot of fun is to gamble on Twitter: http://www.money-era.com/2009/09/make-money-on-twi...
