UPDATED: B3ta hacks the BBC with Olympic goatse

This article is more than 17 years old
How one nifty web monkey fooled the BBC into showing a bit of Olympic goatse.

Apologies if you've seen this elsewhere on the interwebnets, but I was away all week and this is the first I've heard of it.

With all the furore over the frankly horrible London 2012 logo, plenty of people have come up with creative replacements. But none as creative as b3ta user Sean Stayte, who came up with this glorious image - which was then shown on the local BBC news in London!

You can watch the evidence on YouTube.

Warning: those of a delicate disposition may want to steer clear of both b3ta and goatse in general. I am not responsible if you take offence/feel queasy.

UPDATE: The video has now been removed from YouTube, which commenter GrahamIX says was the result of a copyright takedown notice from the BBC. "I had uploaded the same clip to YouTube and I received a DCMA take-down notice last night. So much for our much loved public broadcaster respecting fair-use of copyright material eh?". Come on Beeb, just admit you were caught out.
