I once lost a job because of TV talent shows. I had a Christmas temp shift at HMV, and I had never heard of Paul Potts, who had apparently just won some TV show. When pensioners were eagerly asking me where I could find his album, I honestly thought they were talking about Pol Pott, the Cambodian dictator. After the fifth bout of uncontrollable laughter, I was overheard by my boss and promptly dismissed for "insulting customers".
