BBC.co.uk 500

As some of you may have noticed the BBC has been having some problems today with it's root home page.

Not a great thing to post I know, but when I saw there error 500 page I pee'd myself:

Works fine for me.

cambb · 10 Mar 2010 at 13:54

OK for me too

DTWD · 10 Mar 2010 at 13:54

Yeah it's fine now, it was the test card graphic that cracked me up, and seeing as it's probably not going to be around again for a while I thought I would share.

Theres a phrase that I can't say or I'd get suspended, that accurately describes the complete lack of care I feel for this.

Seriously like, "Omg, a server is offline!"... :rolleyes:

Clearly this has never happened before in the history of the internet.

Guy's don't be mean, some people don't like clowns.

I nearly pee'd myself reading that.

I was itching to post what I think you were talking about too. How I miss that picture.

Here's a clue

Anyway I think that DTWD is actually yantorsen or someone similar.

Is that the real error pic? WTF is with the flames behind it

DTWD · 10 Mar 2010 at 14:09

Yes it's real, that was what I found funny. In my entire travels around the BBC I have never seen this particular screen. The fact the BBC was poking fun at itself with there error messages.

Nevermind.

That clown is ages old, I remember it on TV with that girl when the channels closed.

The clown since then has obviously died and gone to hell

I missed the flames till you mentioned it - haha.

matt_fsr · 10 Mar 2010 at 16:21

Way to miss the OP's point everyone!

I like that pic... kudos to the Beeb for recycling

mmmmm flames...

I'm guessing most of those completely missing the point don't remember the BBC test card.

It's amusing in a slightly geeky way.
