Most predictable reaction award

On the news recently was a story about an online church, where worshippers could log–on to services. I predicted at the time that, as with many other “virtual” environments (e.g chatrooms), people would not be as responsible and grown–up in this church as they would be in a real environment, i.e, while people would think twice about running into a real Church of England service, calling the vicar a bender, saluting Satan and pissing in the font, they would not hesitate to do so in a virtual church. And, yup, it’s been shut down within a week “after a large number of online worshippers logged in as Satan and shouted expletives”.

And I predicted at the time that riding around in an open top car was a recipe for disaster for Mr Kennedy.

Where's yer proof, eh?
 
I have to get a witness statement from the people I was sitting around watching telly with when I made the prediction... er... that'll be my bird then...
