Big Brother confusion around Deep Throat identity
Following Deep Throat's identity being revealed, a misled Big Brother executive has tried to contact former FBI official W. Mark Felt, under the impression that his skills lay elsewhere.
"We'd been looking for someone from the pornographic film industry, to guarantee some sort of action in Big Brother 6. When I heard about Deep Throat, I thought, that's the woman we want!"
Channel 4 have issued a statement, but I didn't bother to read it.

I read an article in the American Spectator yesterday about a lad called Chase Culeman-Beckman.
Chase had been to summer camp in 1988 with the then eight-year-old Jacob Bernstein, son of Carl Bernstein - one of the two journalists who had access to and knew the identity of Deep Throat.
Little Jacob had been adamant that the identity of Deep Throat had been someone named Mark Felt. The eight-year-old Chase retained this name and, coming to write a High School history paper, did some digging and found that W. Mark Felt was an FBI Official at the time.
He broke the story "...according to 1999 New York press accounts, [he] heavily footnoted his 20-page term paper, copyrighted it, attached a two-page bibliography, and went to the trouble of subjecting All the President's Men to rigorous textual analysis, noting that Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein had identified their source at one point as My Friend, the initials of Felt's name"
His teacher gave him a B. Gutted.
