A new category of error, as Channel 4 pulls a sketch about Michael Jackson just as the news comes in about his death, leading to several minutes of the Channel 4 ident being played silently instead of the segment.

This also highlights how much easier it has become to capture and re-publicise live-broadcast television errors, which I'm hoping will lead to greater archiving of these kinds of errors.

Further to the case of the Canon Ebay Outlet negative feedback posted earlier, I have just been offered a refund by Digital River for the postage and packing cost if I would withdraw my negative feedback.

What bald bribery! Of course I find it easy to resist seeing as I have already received a full refund!

Informing them of this via the ponderous process of Squaretrade mediation, I am then offered a 20% discount on my next purchase from the Canon Ebay Outlet. I replied that I had no plans to purchase from them again.

Thinking long ago that this was all over after I got my refund, I have bought the exact same digital camera from Amazon, a Canon IXUS 40, which I am very pleased with. Annoyingly, Amazon.co.uk have reduced it by a further twenty quid since I bought it. This means that the camera is now only £8.75 more brand new, delivered and without having to deal with Digital River than I payed for my refurbished one!
