On 8 May 2006, the television station BBC News 24 wanted to interview technology journalist Guy Kewney about the Apple Corps v Apple Computer legal dispute. By mistake, the BBC let Karen Bowerman interview Guy Goma (born 1969), a Congolese-French business studies graduate from Brazzaville in the Republic of the Congo, who came to the BBC for a job interview as a data cleanser.[1][2] The incident became one of the BBC's most widely reported bloopers.
