Amarillo spoof video causes MoD crash

A spoof video of the Peter Kay's Amarillo video recorded by troops in Iraq caused overloaded MoD email servers to crash.

Full Story (BBC.co.uk)

I found the video on eMule. If you do happen to want to see the full video, the filename is armarillo.wmv if that's any help. It's a rather hefty download though at 52.7MB.

All that's missing from that sing along is an Indian, Sailor, Policeman and Construction worker for their own YMCA gathering!
