UK Ministry of Defense Broken by Spoof Video

Posted by timothy on from the oopsie-daisy dept.

An anonymous reader submits "It seems that the Royal Dragoon Guards in Iraq decided to make a spoof of a Tony Christie video, which was recently re-released by Peter Kay for Comic Relief. However, the video file was over 50MB and it took out various e-mail systems, including those at RAF Strike Command. Despite the inadvertant denial of service attack, the MoD said the spoof was 'brilliant.'"

      Maybe the Nazis find the video "offensive" as it has topless males. The Nazis are homophobic, but no one knows it.

      Yeah. It is that icky sort of Jeff Gannon self-denial homophobia. Just look at all the pseudo-Greek naked statuary in Nazi art.
