Guy Goma became an overnight sensation after overstaying his tourist visa and several months of unemployment when he was mistaken by a BBC News 24 producer for Guy Kewney, who was supposed to be interviewed about a court case involving Apple Computer and the Beatles Apple Corps Ltd. Advertisement Goma -- who coincidentally has a master's degree in business from the Congo -- tried to blunder through the question and answer session, the Sunday Mail reported. His cryptic responses in broken English left his identity and expertise in question. The interview session -- which has been downloaded 1.6 million times off The Mail's Web site and aired countless times on television -- has brought Goma worldwide acclaim. But it also brought the immigrant to the attention of British authorities who may deport him. That would be unfortunate because Goma recently applied for a technology position and wanted to capitalize on the publicity he'd received.
