  • thi muther fucker copyrighted one of my videos made by me with my own song i didnt understand what was the problem

  • Judge him on his work. Little secret: Lots of journos drink a little too much and talk a little bit of shit.

    It's a long career mate. At least you're not stuck in some dead-end part of the world, being a boring churnalist.

    This will come good for you.

  • nice...good lad !

  • Where is this guy now? Is he working at another paper?

  • Yes, he works for the faece, ken?

  • this douch came to my college in my media studies lesson on careers. hes pretty sound to be honest. shame on you though lol

  • You'll learn more about being a proper reporter from him than you will in college or doing work experience on a paper...you won't find his talents in a textbook but trust someone who knows him well - the man is very talented, unorthadox and a true character.

  • THATS HOT .....

  • i think you need to be from birmingham to really appreciate his self-depreciating sense of humour. trust me, it's fcukin hilarious if you can understand him - please don't knock the hard news journalist! (and don't take it too seriously...)

  • give this guy a TV show-he's funny

  • i actaly met him once...and yes he was drunk then too! keep up the good work steve zacarader. you still owe me a tenner you spongeing journo has been.

  • He's just a normal pissed man having a laugh with a loose tongue. Cut him some slack. He's not driving on the piss or getting into a drunken brawl. Adam Smith is alright in my book. People calling him an idiot are doing so not because of what he has done. They are doing so because of a superiority complex, which really is just a cover for cowardly vindictiveness. I'd like to see them say it to his face rather than from the safety of their anonymous Youtube acccounts.

  • I agree that he's not doin any harm but I would DEF say he was an idiot to his face if I saw him - he's not exactly a 'big bad scary man' - jus a weasly lil' prat

  • Watch all the videos...especially the day after one and you will see that the cut and paste thing was a drunken joke. He's not an idiot. It isn't embarrassing either - it's very funny and anyone with a sense of humour would just laugh along...

  • It's jus my opinion - that's the beauty of free speech. As a journalist, I personally feel very embarrassed for him.

  • Freedom of speech!!!! Love you!!

  • Bout time we have a Real Life Journo!! ADAM SMITH you are a legend!! LOVE THE VID MATE! WILL BUY U A DRINK ONE DAY!

  • does this "hard news journalist" still have a job?

  • lol just read about this in the newspaper

  • if your a brummie should you not be based in birmingham alabama. confusing americans with your accent as you insist you are from birmingham.

  • good lad! cut and paste i love it!

  • This man is a 110% pure leg-end. fair play to him Fuck the boss, and fuck the paper. Hooray for the BBC! "cut 'n' paste bitches!"

  • lol, what a fool

  • who knows what the hell he's sayin? ...and

  • nice!

  • George W. Bush looks like a monkey, acted like an imbecile, but that didn't prevent him to be elected and reelected, you American idiots!

  • okkith, I don't think we can blame the majority of American's for Bush's 'elections' given they were stolen.

    I do think, however, those who DID vote for him and supported his 'war on terror' should be the ones to get their pocket books out to pay for the wholesale decimation of Iraq and it's citizens.

    And I think Bush & Cheney should be tried, convicted and executed for war crimes.

  • Well said!!!

  • Wow...has it really been 5 months since I said that? I had to scroll back and find what you complimented me on, lol.

    So glad we have a cool Pres for a change.

  • Don't see anything wrong with this guy, he's just merry and egged on by the interviewer. Went to the quacks today and this chap is more coherent than my Asian Doctor and he wasn't pissed.

  • Am I meant to be shocked? I've met the odd journalist and this guy doesn't seem exactly atypical. It's hardly a respectable profession, is it? I mean - Private Eye owner Peter Cook got through the front door of The Mirror(then owned by his arch-enemy Uncle Bob) by turning up with a crate of scotch!

  • fuck you i'm doing what i want

  • this guy is awesome!

  • Whoever posted this was a total ass. I mean they caught this guy drunk and acting stupid. So what? Who hasn't done that (Mormons excepted)? As guilty as this fellow is, I'm sorry that this post cost this fellow his job and professional reputation.

  • Can't you guys just find this funny?

    He's just some poor journalist drunk out of his mind talking absolute bollocks.

    Could be any one of us caught at the wrong moment!

    How unfortunate...poor brummie, funny though!

  • Wow, this is straight out of South Park. "Yes I can!! CCHHAANNGGEE!!!!"

  • lol, sooo stupid.....

  • What a total plum - is this the type of 'professional' twat the birmingham post employ.

  • Birmingham Mail.

  • They fired him, you tool.

  • They made him redundant actually and the part I find amazing is that they hired him in the first place - not fired him. Any fool would fire him after that DUH

  • Setup! He knew this would get out, what he was doing, being recorded by a fellow journalist etc etc

    So over people becoming popular and getting like this - so knew what he was doin and trying to promote himself.

  • Bush is a fucking fascist.... To an extent comparable to Hitler. Bush was not voted into power, he was declared president by the supreme court... slightly totalitarian? And of course no one can miss the fact that, like a true extreme fascist, he could not resist invading as many foreign countries as possible and murdering as many innocent people as possible.

  • Comment removed

  • Because i'm providing you with relevant points? Do you actually have anything to say back, that may perhaps dispute what seems to be blatant truth? Or are you somehow limited in that all you can do is write some pathetic two-worded insult rather than construct a valid response?

  • Comment removed

  • its actually just as, if not more, meaningless and pathetic.

  • People like you don't realize your foaming at the mouth irrational rhetoric only hurts the ability to restrain Bush or have constructive effects. It's a turn off, and only makes people end up suppporting the President rather than side with somneone whose perspective on history is so ignorant and distorted to compare him with Hitler or claim our armed forces- not Bush, our soldiers- murdered as many innocents as possible. Bush may be a loser, but you being a jackass won't help that.

  • Do you guys think he's for real or is he just imitating the South Park spoof in the lastest episode?

  • Bush isn't a fascists, he's just and incompetent statist. And besides WTF does Bush have to do with this? Bush is hardly an excuse for socialism/fascism/statism.

  • if reading the independents story on this today has anything to offer.. it seems that mr smith is caught up in the trinity mirror shake-up of editorial staff in the midlands - no wonder he's putting his two's up to the employers during the credit crunch.. the guy is about to lose his job before christmas! do you really blame him? i know he's a journo but he's also a human

  • stoopid. Obama crying. It is a disease. like the people crying believing they are victims. Give me a break. Obama is a punk...

  • whoaa people you re crazy. This video has nothing to do with Obama...he cant be held responsible for some volonteer-reporter "after hours " behaviour. CHill pill for all the political-analystis making non existing parallels!

    Only moral of the story : if you drink and talk shit, don t hold discussions with a stranger and camera cuz it will cost you your job and reputation.

  • This just reinforces the fact the the media is the back pocket of the democratic party. This guy actually volunteered to work for Obama then wrote a "plagered" story for his readers. Enjoy the next 4 months cause the next 4 years will be our downfall. This idiot is just the begining.

  • The next four years will be our downfall? What was the last 8 supposed to be? Whether one is stupid enough to blame it all on Bush or not, the fact is we've fallen down hard in many ways and McCain's government would have been the same as Bush's. Time for new blood.

  • "New Blood"? Really?, would you put a teacher fresh out of high school as your principal? How about putting a waterboy as the head coach of a football team? Why not its fresh blood. The new vice president is better qualified!!

  • Are you all that stupid, its nothing to do with who is the fucking president, its about a fellow brummie who is pissed and having a good time.

  • Telling people to leave the country demonstrates the real "working together" that we have heard about. Don't worry my little lemming, after the Socialists rip up the Constitution and trample the falg, us REAL Americans will take control of the country back! You fools that voted him in are going to feel like you bought a lemon when you realize he sold you a load of crap.

  • It's us socialists who are going to see the already shredded constitution put BACK together.

    Watch, listen and learn.

  • Socialism would be a complete contradiction to what the Constitution stands for. You couldn't "put BACK together" and have socialism you would have to completely change it.

    Socialism is in complete contradiction to liberty.

  • A society must never ignore the needs of the unfortunate, the downtrodden. It should be a hand up, not a hand out, but I cannot fathom allowing people to go hungry when others are so full.

    The coming years will test us all, rich, poor and wherever we fall in between. Hopefully it will get better, but I think the America we used to know is a memory.

    Thank "Beijing Bill" Clinton. China is the dagger in the heart of our industry, and nobody built China like Bill.

  • So is fascism, which is what you have under the Bush Corporation.

  • I guess I should have put Socialist in quotes, to relay the sarcastic point I was making. You call us 'socialists', and truthfully, I'm not offended by that.

    It's NOT a dirty word.

    And if you think Bush hasn't been busy ripping the constitution apart and providing the largest upward giveaway on our tax dollars you're crazy.

    All these last 8 years have been about is socialism for the wealthy. That's about to change. Deal.

  • Most socialists I know hate the constitution. That is funny, they always take a stand for the constitution to your face, then race taxes, and the central governments powers right behind your back. All in the name of their good, which is evil to most Americans.

  • what makes me laugh is how many of you are running down this guy bitterly because your country elected obama.

    aside of that this video is extremely funny-the guys hilarious, but f*** where do some of you leave your sense of humours?? do you just get on you tube to vent bitterness pi** off and take up a ball game or something semi useful

  • Another brilliant Obama supporter!

  • I bet this guy has to kiss a lot of butt to get back on staff at his old job.

  • don't worry, they're not concerned about YOU.

  • thats ok, i would like to see how brave you are saying to my face...

  • And you are an idiot.

  • i checked u and saw u are restricted to Simpson and kids stuffs. stay off your mothers old computer ok!

  • obama even has drunks from other countries supporting him, not just drunks in america! Idiots unite for obama!

  • If you are really that disappointed with the results of the election, you should leave the country and find a place that better fits your needs.

  • Yeah-like the bush-haters did for the last 8 years, correct?

    By the way, those who welcomed socalism- they could have left the US at any time for a socialist nation. Why didn't they?

  • jcnarizona: it is because they are cowards.

  • You can be dissappointed with the results, and still be proud to be an American. At least we are not flocking to get counseling and threatening to move to Canada because the election did not go the way we wanted. It is STILL a democracy, and we are not going to leave the country we love and many brave soldiers have died for because the majority voted for Obama. He is still our President, and I respect him for that.

  • Yes, we may not like him, but he is still our president.

  • why leave the USA??  it is beter to stay and be as much an unpatiotic opponent to a funcioning government as the Democrat party has been. Payback time.

  • Typical ignorant Brit. Doesn't know his ass from a hole in the ground.

  • Says the fucking yank.

    Go back to your incest redneck community, ignorant fuck face.

  • Hey you ignorant politically correct Brits. Sometimes when you're not bowing to your new Islamic leaders ... do the world a big favor ... brush your God Damned teeth for God's sake. If the olympics gave gold medals for rotting teeth the Brits would have more gold than Fort Knox.

  • This video is FAKE with a capital 'F'. You can tell the person asking questions, has dubbed in their voices. Another one 'I gotcha' videos....

  • Oberst..It sounds as if Meowbay needs his litterbox changed...Give up..He's living in liberal fantasyland...

  • It's sad to see all these comments and everyone having a go at each other. Why is it too much to ask that we put the insults away and start talking to each other with respect for once? Until we can do that nothing is going to change.

  • Sad, little unemployed wanker.

  • As Ron White would put it, "At this point, I had the right to remain silent...but I didn't have the ability".

  • I can't understand what the hell this guy is saying.

  • Wow, a British guy that actually looks like brushes his teeth at least once a month.

  • Let me guess...typical homophobic, racist, Bible-bashing Yank?

  • Are all your guesses 100% wrong?

    Read my profile, and you will read that I am an Atheist, in an Interracial Marriage. I also have a gay sibling to boot. So I am not homophobic as that would mean that I fear my brother, which I do not, and am not a racist, because that would mean hate my wife, who I love very much, and if you read some of the profane posts left on my website, you will read that I am not liked very much by many theist.

  • Got the Yank bit right, which is probably the worst bit out of the original comment to be fair.

  • This is one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen. But the reactions of some folks who've commented are just about as amusing in themselves. Humourless bastards.

    Adam sounds like a really funny guy and I would consider it an honour to have a few drinks with him and then cut, paste and file until way into the small hours. Heartwarming, I call it. Top man.

  • Absolute genius - British journalism at its surreal best. Note to Americans - it's a joke, alright ha ha ha ha.

  • what a lovely friendly drunk, I hope he suffers no trouble due to this video

  • This is just an example of the dumb asses that support Obama. Of course they want the U.S. to be just as jerk backwards and upside down as their pitiful countries. What better way to accomplish this that with Obama and a democratic congress. Change is here, but it won't be the change that was expected.

  • That Dutch guy is a proper cock.

  • Wimmin my arse you bum bandit!

  • Where'd you get that jumper our kid?

  • Steve Zacharandra! We love you! You're a cool chap!

  • ахахахахахаххаха)))) Прикольный мужик. Ну в америке хоть так, скрыто, на ютьюбе черные политические технологии раскрываются, а у нас у русских всё в наглую. Медвед ламо

  • legend!!!

  • Bout time we have a Real Life Journo!! ADAM SMITH you are a legend!! LOVE THE VID MATE! WILL BUY U A DRINK ONE DAY!

  • wth is the fuss about, he managed to speak for nearly 4 minutes without actually saying anything. and this is front page news on ninemsn. le sigh

  • lol this was a top aticle on nine msn's website rofl!

  • Oh the stupid things we do when we're drunk.

  • Seems like a nice guy, just a bit tipsy.

  • One LADYBOY too many??? See Alan Partridge Ladyboys(bar scene) on You Tube!!!

  • This guy makes about as much sense as Chris Matthews on MSNBC

    Just a drunken idiot!

  • Just a typical reporter from what I can see :)

  • a youtube sensation?

    238000 hits?

    fox is dumb

  • How does this have anything to do with fox?

  • why the fuck are foreigners volunteering in our political processes?

  • He's not volunteering for your politicians. He volunteered to come over for his newspaper so that he could write from the place of the action.

  • he said on the interview that he jumped on a plsne to come over and volunteer, just so you know i have know prob with foreigners, however our political processes are ours not the rest of the worlds including our allies. this is not his fwult ,of course ,but our insanely corrupted political system

  • This is so stupid! I bet if this drunk was supporting McCain, Fox News would never expose this link, NEVER! LAME

  • Why did this get ANY hits?!

  • Perhaps you wern't listening

  • I tried. I really tried. But it's the drunkenness, see? I did like his sweater, though.

  • The Europeans are grateful we will no longer make their socialist trash system look like just that.

    Misery loves company.

  • God when will paranoid Americans get rid of the red commie myth, the cold war is long gone as is communist Russia.There is nothing wrong with governments running health care so those that are less fortunate can be treated. That is not socialism that is civic responsibility. Something Americans as a whole lack any sense of, with your self centered consumerist society. Just because you believe peoples lives have no value unless they are rich dosent mean the rest of the world feels that way.

  • Oh Yeah, I would LOVE to triple my taxes and have a 10 hour wait at a hospital because its clogged with every jackass with a headache.

    Live in Your garbage if You want. No thanks, I'll live in the best nation in the World. I've lived on your garbage continent, and I love America 100,000 times more.

    Europe is jealous because it doesn't pull the weight it used to even 15 years ago.

  • Are you sure it wasn't the continent that didn't like you?

  • shut the fuck up

  • Why do limy bastards and euro weenies have to stick their noses into our political process?

  • Ouch....great way to ruin your life.

  • woohoo, everybody in the world thinks AmeriKKKa is going to throw them keg parties now that obama is prez-elect!

    c'mon world citizens, let's all get liquoured up. it's the kind of "hope" that will numb us to the things to come. we're going to need it.

    we already have some socialism in ameriKKKa. it's called welfare, public school. . . hey, world, just wait until we have a civilian security force. scary, huh?

  • awesome!

  • Free health care here in Australia and over in the UK do have a few problems, but our economy is still going well, and the UK are doing about the same as they ever will.

    Unemployed people and students that've never worked in their life also get paid (even more if they have children), also the elderly, the disabled, war veterans etc.

    Even with all that, there's still several monopolies on large services, unregulated newer technologies with prices through the roof etc...hardly socialism.

  • Point being, a few socialistic policies don't make countries explode.

  • Guess who's in the unemployment line?

  • Re-hab Re-hab Re-hab

  • option? That it wasn't that 60 odd million people diesagreed with you, raather it was that 60 odd million people voted drunk! That is the comforting option? The extent of your democrat-Republic divide is moronic!!

  • ammoman, my family health care premium for the next two months is $1350.00 will you "share your wealth" and help me make my next payment?

    move to Europe, if you like all the failing economies!

  • word up! Where do i sign up for the "take" side and quit working for the "give" side? Socialism doesn't work, as we are about to learn again! eventually people will discover that hard work doesn't pay, and that not working does!

  • God help the future of this country, save us from Obama Osama.

  • Thanks to ACORN, that guy was able to vote 73 times in Florida, Ohio and North Carolina (each).

  • Another liberal leftist liar writing for some crap paper that nobody even cares about. Now I have to look at your stupid face on FOX NEWS for the next week, thanks A-hole

  • You're a complete douche bag, and I'll bet you have never left the US unless it was to Tijuana. Does the fact that they send reporters here make you feel important? It shouldn't, they and we don't give a shit about you. Have you contributed to the reason that they send reporters here, or is it just for the people that matter? Europe is a failed state? What the hell are you talking about? There are countries in Europe that have a higher quality of living than we do, moron.

  • Deucemcjo....never been out of the trailer park have you?

  • You are one very sad individual. For the record this guy is a proper journalist, not a blogger or geek living his life vicariously through the internet. You should be ashamed of your tiny brain and keep your mouth shut. To think this guy came here to help Obama's campaign and hopefully help change the world for the better. What can you say you've done?

  • Speaking as a Brit journo, I would say this man deserves to be our patron saint. He's done what 90 per cent of us have felt like doing at some point - getting pissed and telling their employers to stick their job up their arse. I suspect the star of this video is regretting things a bit now, but if he's reading this, I'd just like to say that he gave myself and my colleagues a fine old laugh this morning, and got a big cheer too.

  • After he gets fired, I am sure that The New York Times will have a job for someone as reputable as him.

    These are the Obama dupes, looking for change!

  • HA! Bitter? Thats sad.

  • I know this guy couldn't vote, but these are the types of people that got Obama elected.

    And that people, is apparently the NEW American way.

  • "These are the types of people"?

    Drunk Brummie journalists?

    Who can't vote?

    Voted Obama in?

    Are you mad?

    Read what you wrote man, for the love of god.

  • Haha, spastic.

  • The Birmingham times is an English subsidiary of the same company that owns Fox News. This doesn't surprise me.

  • *Birmingham Mail

  • You are misinformed. The Birmingham Mail has no association with News. It formed from the Mirror group.

    Now please make your insinuation clearer so we can all have a good laugh. At you.

  • this sucks. he just wanted to have fun while doing his job the american way, half-assed and f'ed up.

  • 1. journalism is dead...welcome the age of personal opinion passing as hard news.

    2. no wonder Europeans have a negative opinion of America with biased dregs like this writing for their papers.

    3. Once again, this sotted Brit rehashes the feel-good reasons for supporting Obama. I wasn't a big McCain supporter, but that is the reason Obama won...people wanted to feel good...hope for something as of yet unidentified...and get some undefined change.

  • Well put

  • moniphil ... well said! We have witnessed the death of journalism in America in 2008.

    Welcome to the age of propaganda from the left, in place of news and hard facts. It reminds me of the Soviet Union that I learned about when I was a child. God help us all.

  • Oh really, like Fox News and ABC and CNN aren't the biased rightwing asshats they are. Ever seen the Daily Show or the Colbert Report? If not, you should. You might learn a little about your own stupidity and your nation's average quality of Fox (et al) 's so-called neutral journalism. Get a clue!

  • ABC and CNN have right bias? What are you nuts?

    The BBC, and NPR are so liberal biased that they are not even measurable.

  • Are you f*ing nuts---Those are entertainment shows. That isn't news reporting and they don't claim to be unbiased. They are entertainment. You are the f*ing wanker that is ignorant.

  • So? As if 'entertainment shows' are less valuable in helping to form an unbiased opinion in today's society. As if Bill O Reilly isn't 'entertainment'. Get a clue. You'll learn a LOT more from Colbert and Stewart than you'll ever learn from watching Fox News.

  • Is that why Colbert and Stewart have "fake news" disclaimers at the beginning of their shows? Then again, if you're learning from those two, I'd expect a lot of ignorance.

  • Wow, it's so telling of your ignorance and lack of intelligence if you're unable to distinguish the fake from the real news, and if you're unable to read between lines while watching satire and informative humour as portrayed by Colbert and Stewart. Art has always been one of the most valuable sources of protest and influence in the political arena. It's really quite sad to see how dumb some of its viewers are, that they do not grasp the deeper meaning, and the hidden messages in/of these shows.

  • Art is an approximation or reinterpretation of reality - it is not the facts. Neither are Colbert or Stewarts shows. I can watch those shows and have a laugh without taking them as factual. My main point, which you have talked and insulted your way around, remains: both shows explicitly state that they are satire and NOT real news. This is done as a warning to those who are less well-read who tend to form their opinions from watching the idiot box.

  • Again: You didn't even understand anything of what I've written in my earlier comment. And you don't seem to understand Colbert or Stewart either. Go ask them what they think about your statements on art and such.

  • Yes, you're spot on there. I couldn't possibly understand your comments. Nor could I grasp the Subtle Intent and Shining Magnificence of the Mighty Intellect, personified by Colbert and Stewart. Now I'm off to beg them to dumb down their comments so that I can begin to comprehend and thereby appreciate their genius. I will also respectfully beg them to homage your YouTube brilliance, for you surely deserve some recognition for your energetic attempts to enlighten this pour soul.

  • Speaking of stupid, have you checked your posts? Your intelligence it just shining through in having to curse to get your point across. Nice!!

  • Resting my case; You have no actual arguments. Probably voted republican.

  • The world went to hell in a basket when "reporters" decided that they were "journalists."

  • @moniphil wrote: "2. no wonder Europeans have a negative opinion of America with biased dregs like this writing for their papers."

    If anything, it's silly generalisations like yours that are the reason some Europeans have a negative opinion of America. As if just one british 'journalist' stands for any and all European newspapers. You have never even read *one*, let alone capable of making a valid judgement on 'European newspapers' in general. Fucking idiot.

  • isn't it illegal for foreign nationals to contribute in any way to a US election campaign?  The State Dept. should revoke his visa.

  • Non-citizens cannot give money, but nothing says they cannot campaign.

  • HAHAH! That's hilarious. And a true look at Democrat's....getting somebody else to do work for you.

  • If we wait a couple days perhaps there will be a YOU TUBE video of Ahmadenejad working on Obama's campaign in the US, driving nursing home residents to the polls.

  • What an idiot
