I read the news today oh boy! Page 590

:( Terrible news about two Asian women being violently maimed by their husbands!

One hand her right hand chopped off for 'studying without permission' the other was blinded in one eye, damaged in the other.

C**ts.
Is all I have to say about that!

(In which country?)

Wonder how many are the same people?

How did 145 people manage to ignore publicity, have no knowledge of Charlie Brooker, watch channel 4, after the watershed, and then bother complaining?

Shocked that everybody who watched Campus complained about it.

To be fair nobody knew about the oink-boinking storyline until it was broadcast. I certainly had no inkling. And Charlie Brooker isn't really a household name.

Lets not be fair. The amount of people in this country who think they have a right to not ever be offended, especially by something they have either chosen to watch or not briefly looked at the description of, makes me absolutely furious. I would complain, but...

I salute the complainers! They're exercising their democratic right to gripe! I might agree with them, but I defend their right to do it.

They discussed it on Front Row weeks beforehand.
So about 17 people knew.

I remember a few years ago reading complaints about two particualr comedy shows. One of the complaints was that it wasn't suitable for children. The programs in question were:
A) on at 9-10pm, kids should be in bed
b) Never at any point in time promoted to children.
c) Were rated as been unsuitable for children under 15.

The attitude some people have that the everything in the world needs to be family friendly really bugs me.

Chip, the BCG's very own Voltaire.

And I agree people should have the right to coplain, it doesn't mean they have to exercise it, the moaning Twats.

Oh dear

Quite a debonair-looking chap though, isn't he?

If you must have a man-crush, try to be a little patriotic :)

If I fancy Nick Griffin too, would that cancel out the cheese-eating surrender monkey?
