UK Government On YouTube?

You read it right folks.  As quoted on their YouTube profile (which states they are ’90′ year old – hehe):

This is an experiment in distributing via YouTube short films made for the Cabinet Office, part of the UK Government.

I’m not going to ‘embed’ the 2 videos here but here’s the links so you can enjoy them in all their glory (*sarcasm):

Transformational Government – enabled by technology 
Sharing – the Leadership Challenge

Part of me wants to applaud their boldness in attempting to use this popular new media platform to distribute their message but the other half just wants to point and laugh. It’s like watching an uncle dance at a family wedding, totally out of place but somehow endearing to see.
