Journalist lives to regret drunken video on YouTube
![]()
The night after Obama’s election was a time for celebration for most people (although obviously not John McCain) with parties, drinking and general fun. However for one British journalist the night became a bit of a nightmare when he became an overnight star on YouTube.
Sitting in a corner on a laptop he is approached by a cameraman, who asks him a few questions about himself and the election. Adam Smith (the journalist) is obviously quite drunk, but talks fairly coherently about why he is there and who he works for (Birmingham Mail in England), but then it all went wrong. When asked about an article he is writing at the moment he says that he has copied and pasted it off the BBC website, and then goes on to resign from his job.
