Jesus CHRIST I hate it. There is a reason these people aren't already on TV, in established - or new - proper shows.
This thread (well the user-generated bit, not the pepsi bit, no idea how it managed to move onto that!) gives me an excuse to post up one of my favourite sketches from That Mitchell and Webb Sound...
It perfectly summarises everything I too hate about 'UGC'...

And now, even Points of View has stooped down to this level.
To be fair, if one show is allowed to have user-generated content it should at least be Points of View... after all that's what it's all about.
What I do love about User Generated Content is that it gives the prankster a chance to get on TV... apparently (but I don't know this to definitely be true) Sky News recently broadcast some people's pictures of the olympic flame going through London, not noticing that one guy had photoshopped Maddie McCann into the background of his pictures.
