Hate to say I told you so, but

Over at Hot Air they are confirming that Barry and his crack team of geniuses did, in fact, give British Prime Minister Gordon Brown a set of DVDs that were formatted for the US region, therefore not compatible with DVD players in the UK. Not only was the gift embarrassing, it was actually worthless to the PM. Good job!

UpdateHot Air also says that Iowahawk mentioned this story first on March 9th. I would point out that I mentioned this aspect of the story on the 5th of March. Thereby making me a genius.
