You'd think after Microsoft's twitter bots going all Third reich that companies would have learnt that you still need manual moderation.

Apparently rather than learning from its environment taybot had phrases that could be used to forcibly add things to its corpus, these were discovered, so it was force fed stuff really.

But yeah ill-advised by walkers.

At least Peter Sutcliffe would never stoop as low as to sell crisps to children.

There was that Golden Wonder range specificity targeted at prostitutes though. "Crunch while they cruise" was his catchphrase, if I remember.

Savilles favourite Walkers crisp flavour was the Tomato Ketchup ones, says it all really.

I've just googled to see if anyone had made Gary hold up some porn, but found this instead:

A mother has contacted police after her three sons witnessed hardcore gay pornography being played on a restaurant computer screen.

She looked at the screen which showed a man and a transsexual engaging in a sex act while Dead or Alive's 'You Spin Me Right Round' was played. It also showed a rotating 'helicopter' penis.

That'll be Meatspin, could have been worse I suppose (Tubgirl, 2G1C, Rick Astley)

It's actually mind boggling that anyone involved couldn't envisage such a thing happening.

[Barry Admin]

Nice selfie. The Mexican wave. It's the funniest fucking thing I think I've ever seen.

I'm sure someone knew exactly what would happen...

I've never so enjoyed being on the Daily Mail website, and I think that's the first time I've ever had an auto-playing video go off and me NOT start swearing at the computer.

When Stalin came up, I laughed more than I have in weeks, which after that fucking Audi thread I really needed, so thank you!

Yes... unless of course they expected it to and just thought it would get them more publicity.  Post-Preview EDIT: as Mr S. has just said.

One reason to suspect that hypothesis is that the rest of it is so well worked-out: the fan in the stands has gloves on (unlike any other fan in the video) so that they don't have to worry about matching the skin colour.  So clearly they did think at least a bit about what people might upload.

Am surprised we've not seen any cat pictures yet.  Does it only accept human faces, I wonder?  I suspect it must have some kind of facial recognition thing on there, otherwise people would have uploaded pictures of genitals, and come to that selfies with busy backgrounds wouldn't have worked properly either.

Please I beg the universe on one knee someone do a goatse version, I BEG YOU....

I think it said at the bottom of the DM article that the service had been suspended. :-(

This is it really isn't it?

Same. This one creased me up as well, though I'm not sure what the fuck it is.

[Barry Admin]

Ahh, I didn't know the Mail had video on that site, that's why I posted those clips.

Great stuff, still loving it. Big thumbs up.

[biggytitbo]

This is it really isn't it?

It's a good theory but I seriously doubt it, major companies like Walkers are hypersensitive to any negative publicity that they'd be absolutely mortified at seeing Gary Lineker holding up pictures of Fred West and Peter Sutcliffe.


The whole thing is incredibly, incredibly funny though. It makes Brass Eye redundant.

Sorry to be slow on the uptake but is that young Gary squeezing one out? 'Nice selfie!'

[Replies From View]

Have one of those infinite ones where he's holding up a picture of himself holding up a picture of himself etc.

[Quincey]

Has no one done a cock for the selfie?
