Fahrenheit 9/11

Fahrenheit 9/11

Channel 4 just showed Fahrenheit 9/11. Sadly, the person who thinks up technical solutions for Channel 4 and those who choose what to put on the air, are worlds apart.

At the end of the film, the voice over announces that Michael Moore is on a webchat ready to take questions. After finally accessing the Channel 4 site and rummaging around, you realise that they are not hosting it. Instead some outfit called www.webchats.tv is. Looks like a small operation in Nottingham, could be wrong, but I can't access their website to find out. Of course it's an effective slashdotting.

I must congratulate Channel 4 on predicting that hardly anyone would want to talk to Michael Moore just after the UK network premiere of the show, and announcing the fact he was taking questions online. Genius.
