You know what they say in show biz: never work with children, animals, or gadgets. And if you must, make sure that you test drive your consumer electronics before going live. As you can see in the video (after the break), the kids on one overseas morning show failed to heed the last bit, to humorous results. For our part, we're inclined to believe that the unresponsiveness of the Vaio L All-In-One touchscreen herein is pilot error of some stripe, but either way the man on screen handled it like a real pro. Besides, we've seen far worse bloopers on Japanese television -- really, after the whole Yukio Mishima seppuku mess, it's hard for us to take any of this stuff too seriously. Video(s) after the break.

Isnt that the morning TV show where the reporter fell out the window and nearly died while testing a fire escape zip line thing live on tv....
As far as bloopers go... THe trouch screen not working on a demo device hardly rates the same :p
Unless you are head of MS-japan?
Sitting here at the computer I realise I feel no need nor wish to touch the screen, But I'm not a TV presenter or weather guy of course.
Although there's always the wacom touch+pen I guess.
