Try it at home, then show us the video

In the era of consumer revenge, it's heartening to know that when a young lad has his wedding ruined by chaos at heathrow's terminal 5, he resorts not to shouting angrily down the phone at BA, but writing a cute little song about it. Mr Soong from Kennington, who has a Kiwi accent and has therefore been rather unrealistically compared to Flight of the Conchords, is more cute than he is funny, but we like what he has done all the same.

Youtube is great for random fun stuff, and despite its distinct lack of inappropriate content, there are more than a few amusing videos that you can entertain yourself with whilst pretending to be doing something important. But Glitterditch thinks that the best thing about streaming video, is that it encourages people to film themselves endangering their lives for the chuckling amusement of complete strangers.

And so it is for this that we raise our hats and our hearts, and send you the link to our favourite stupid internet stunt. Ever wondered why someone keeps putting up 'no skiing' stickers at Angel Tube station? It's because someone, we know not who, had the balls big enough to ski down the escalators. Living legend of London: Glitterditch salutes you.
