I realise that someone has already posted this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOc7Nk63vbc and I also undestand that where Raymond Brown is concerned "it's all about selling papers" (rather than reporting news?) but... ...anyone got the faintest idea what this one's about and what brought it on?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qu0l9t6bNtI bit of a giggle though![:D]

quote:I wonder why old Ray won't mention the remix in the Merc, oh maybe it's because he would look an even worse journalist. (I realise all the media is is journalists exaggerating things to sell papers) but i only think this because our group has been affected by it. And the second vid is of the younger lot (we dont have anything to do with them) but we are aware of them. I think the Merc should report on that =p.

quote:He's watched pretty much every video that has been posted on youtube by us so inevitably he has seen it, it was made to mock him because for obvious reasons we don;t like him too much (he has even admitted that he is an asshole in an interview with the producer =p) There is a section cut from that remix video that may not see the light of day but is still very funny. He probably won't mention it because it won't put him in good light and he won't want to publicise the fact that he is being mocked but its been uploaded for a long time now and i doubt it will be mentioned.

quote:Yes - very hard hitting. Whilst their opinion is probably shared by many I liked the fact that for maximum rebellious effect they obviously made their 'statement' at a weekend when there was no-one at the Mercury offices. Raymond must be sh**ing himself at that one.

quote:Haha i thought that too, the vid drags on too long they should of at least got different angles. What makes them extra hardcore is that they posted it in the letterbox to add EXTRA insult to injury to our poor Raymond Brown who will be greeted with a simple task of re arranging the letters at work on Monday. I wonder how long it will take him?

A journalist concerned about selling papers? I don't get it, why would he be worried about selling papers? You must explain that one to me. Next you'll be telling us that a pharmacist is concerned with selling medicines. Or a restauranteur is concerned with selling food. This reporter must be having a right good laugh at this ...

The remix is great! Does anyone think the Mercury will wake up and realise they are alienating their potential future readers? I doubt it!

It may be a bit off topic but it's very relevant. These days, I find I know more about local happenings by logging oin to this forum than by reading the Mercury. Or at least, by the time I read it in the Mercury, it's old news because it's been all over this forum. Is this the first competition the mercury has had in its history of publishing in Hertford?
