Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Any good People or Celebrities quiz should start off with some juicy information about the subject's past, and this one is no exception. You know, the sort of thing that gets you wondering how on Earth they survived such terrible parents, or some sappy inspiring story of the obstacles they overcame, or whatnot. There's just one problem. I couldn't find any juicy information. So we're going to have to settle for mundane information. Which of these is true about Guy Goma?
2. When Guy Goma arrived at the BBC office on that fateful day, May 8, 2006, he was there for a job interview. For what job was our accidental pundit applying?
3. Who was the Guy who was really supposed to be interviewed?
4. As the story goes, Guy Goma was waiting in the waiting room. Somebody asked him if he was Guy. Our Guy replied in the affirmative. Then, some Guy was escorted into the studio, and, as the newscaster introduced him, it became apparent to Guy that he was actually the wrong Guy. What was Guy's reaction?
5. Now, what was this interview about?
6. The newscaster, Karen Bowerman, asked the first question: "Were you surprised by this verdict today?" Was Guy Goma indeed surprised?
7. The second question (this is sounding like the scene in Monty Python with that silly guy on the bridge, isn't it?) was, "With regard to the cost that's involved, do you now think that more people will be downloading online?" Well, folks, did he?
8. Finally, the newscaster commented that this does seem to be very much how the music industry is progressing, with people downloading music. Did our hero jump ship? Or did he answer this question just as coolly? (Just answer yes or no to the latter question.)
9. Speaking of the ease and speed of the Internet, within a few days of the interview, did anyone establish a website www.guygoma.com?
10. What did the official BBC spokesperson say about the whole affiar?
