The video is here but there is some swearing, which we don't condone but feel free to watch if you're over 18.

In a second session before MP's looking into the secondary ticketing market in the UK (scroll down for more), the boss of Ticketmaster has claimed the ticketing firm successfully stops billions of attempted purchases by 'bots' every year.
A 'Bot' or botnet is - the software which buys up tickets online in bulk to then be resold for a profit.
Chris Edmonds the chairman of Ticketmaster UK, said: "Every time we have a major sale, we see massive bot activity trying to hit our site. We think we’re pretty good at stopping this."
He added they "prevent about 5 billion hits a year" from bots trying to harvest tickets.
Paul Peak from StubHub said: "If we have specific knowledge of a seller on our site who’s acting as a business but not declaring it, we'll take action."
But, he added: "We’re under no duty to monitor or police our site which is an important principle to maintain for e-commerce."

BBCCopyright: BBC
The manager of the Arctic Monkeys has told a group of MPs the number of tickets sold directly to fans is "far smaller than it should be".
Ian McAndrew is among a group of people, including You Me At Six's Josh Franceschi, giving evidences at a Commons Select Committee which is looking into the £1bn a year secondary ticketing market.

Josh told BBC Newsbeat last month that he's fed up with music fans paying "over the odds" because of systems set up by ticket touts.
Today, he added the business was losing out to touts who are "only concerned with lining their own pockets".

Hundreds of tickets for a Coldplay show in Milan ended up on secondary sites, prompting an undercover investigationImage caption: Hundreds of tickets for a Coldplay show in Milan ended up on secondary sites, prompting an undercover investigation
There are renewed calls in Italy to curb secondary ticketing after concert promoters Live Nation admitted that some of its tickets were put directly onto the resale website Viagogo.
It follows a TV interview in which the managing director of Live Nation Italy Roberto de Luca was presented with evidence which showed the firm's complicity in placing tickets with secondary sellers where they can be sold for vastly inflated prices.
After initially denying any involvement, he said: "I want to be clear that, to your question if Live Nation issued tickets on secondary sites and I answered no… in fact we issue some tickets. A very limited number of tickets on other sites, in this case [on] Viagogo."
The interview formed part of an undercover report which retraced the journey of a ticket as its price increased on the online secondary market from €50 ($54) to €1,050 ($1,144).
Later today, a Commons Select Committee in the UK will hear evidence from a selection of artists, managers, promoters and secondary ticketing sellers on the estimated £1bn a year industry.
Bono admits award is 'ridiculous' but says gender equality is 'priority'

Come on...we all had a good chuckle when it was announced last week that, for the first time ever, the Glamour magazine Women of the Year awards was to award a man.
Accepting the award in Los Angeles on Monday night, the Irish rocker admitted: "I know how ridiculous it is for me to be on this stage accepting this award.
"But if I didn't know how ridiculous it was, I did have the blessed internet to remind me."
However, he also used his platform to call on US president-elect Donald Trump to make gender equality "a priority" .
"Unless we address this problem," he said, "both men and women together, the world will continue down this misogynistic, violent and impoverished path.
"The train is leaving the station, be on it or be under it."
Other winners on the night included Gwen Stefani and Olympic gymnast Simone Biles.

Angry Lennon letter to McCartney goes on sale for £16k
NME
Now we heard from an angry Yoko Ono yesterday (listen again here at own risk!) now a letter from her similarly-irrate late husband John Lennon, to fellow Beatle Paul McCartney, is up for auction for around £16,000.
The undated letter from the Paperback Writer is thought to have been penned shortly before the band split up - and you can see why.

You can find the full letter here and trust me, its a must-read for all Beatles fans. Whether you have a spare £16k lying around to make it a must-have is another matter entirely.
