Thanks to Anon, here’s some quality stuff from the BBC complaints log. There’s loads of it and it’s all brilliant. I’m splitting it up into chunks because then it seems like I’ve somehow generated lots of content. That’s what it’s all about these days you know. CONTENT. I’M GENERATING CONTENT YEAH? COMMUNITY YEAH? RUBY ON RAILS YEAH? AJAX YEAH? God, I hate everyone.
Thanks again, Anon.
ANDREW MARR SHOW
General
“I think the programme’s opening sequence which involves Andrew Marr driving a 1950′s car is unsuitable. It suggests that only people from that era are interested in politics.”Felt that Andrew Marr was too lenient in his questioning of Gordon Brown. “Short of sitting on Gordon Brown’s lap and stroking his hair Andrew Marr could not have been anymore lenient on Gordon Brown.”
BREAKFAST (TV NEWS)
TX Date: 04/05/08
“I feel that it is completely irresponsible to show a clip of people playing hockey with a flaming ball. Young people watching could copy this.”
CARRIE AND DAVID’S POPSHOP
TX Date: 01/05/08“I thought the wording in the song was inappropriate, it said ‘see my clothing, see my hair, check me, check me’. I feel that this is a song more for teenagers as my daughter is only three and I do not want this sort of sexual innuendo in a song on a programme that she watches.”
TERRY JONES’ MEDIEVAL LIVES
TX Date: 04/05/08“I feel that Terry Jones is using history to criticise the Pope. He is predictable and of poor quality.”
AM I NORMAL (TV)
TX Date: 05/05/08“I object to having this sort of programme on the BBC. I know that this deviant behaviour goes on but I do not want it in my sitting room. I think this is the sort of rubbish that I expect to see on the commercial stations. We do not want it on the BBC.”
More to come later.

Dear Television,
I was outraged to see a cock and balls on an educational film for schools yesterday daytime on the BBC.
My 2 year old son witnessed the cock and balls as he was sitting watching TV all day because i’m too fucking lazy to take him outside anywhere interesting. Rather than turn over the channel I sat and watched the cock and balls in my own living room!!
This is unacceptable – and something I would only expect from channel 5 at 11.30 on a saturday night.
I demand you remove any further cocks and balls from television because they offend my eyes and therefore have no rightful place on our wholesome public broadcasting channel.
Yours sincerely,
BigRuss
“Andrew Marr driving a 1950’s car” – shame that it’s a car from 1989 – are only people from the late eighties interested in politics nowadays?
Andrew marr sat on gordons lap stroking his (pubic?) hair has disturbed me.
I can now have my own ‘am i normal’ tv show
I feel that Terry Jones is using history to criticise the Pope. He is predictable and of poor quality.
The pope or Mr Jones?
“I feel that Terry Jones is using history to criticise the Pope”
I feel that this is my favourite line in the entire of branespeakland.
“I feel that Terry Jones is using history to criticise the Pope”
History! Is there no low trick the BBC won’t stoop to?
“I feel that Terry Jones is using history to criticise the Pope”
As a very wise man once said, you can prove anything with facts.
“I feel that Terry Jones is using history to criticise the Pope. He is predictable and of poor quality.”

I agree. Ben is no where near as kerrazy or of the calibre of JP2
Bah!!!!
Now I look like a copycat!
“I feel that Terry Jones is using history to criticise the Pope. He is predictable and of poor quality.”
That’s a very good description of the Pope.
Death toll mounts after fireball craze sweeps playgrounds.
Seriously – have you ever tried to set fire to a hockey ball? Pft.
I quite like ruby on rails
whose idea was it to let old people on the internet?
Just reading the words ’see my clothing, see my hair, check me, check me’ have given me a raging boner.
“Andrew Marr driving a 1950’s car” – shame that it’s a car from 1989 – are only people from the late eighties interested in politics nowadays?
…………and a Slittyeyed make too……could the BBC marginalise politics anymore if they tried.
“I feel that Terry Jones is using history to criticise the Pope. He is predictable and of poor quality.”
There. I don’t feel so left out now.
I feel incredibly upset that I missed “Am I Normal?” I want to know what deviant behaviour they showed
Complaints to the BBC must have a rich history, crafted to a fine art. They now have access to t’internet.
It will be a shit storn.
Nelson – I fear you will be straying perilously close to an embolism if you persist in looking in this dark place.
Roxy… it was quite an interesting programme, actually, dealing with cottaging, dogging and other so-say sexually deviant behaviour. The last part was slightly shocking, but I certainly wasn’t outraged – more fascinated!!
As an aside – it was BBC 2, late at night, and I don’t know about you, but my telly comes with an off-switch…
“I feel that Andrew Marr is using classic cars to campaign for Gordon Brown to be Pope. He is lenient and of poor quality.”
Yes, damn that Terry Jones for basing his criticism of someone on documented facts. He should have just kneejerked his cock off in response to a Daily Mail headline and a demented HYS thread like all right-thinking volk.
The only real problem with that “Am I normal?” show was the complete inability to mask her disgust at cottaging etc. Given that she is supposed to be a clinical psychologist she could at least have aimed at objectivity but, no, she just stood there like a Daily Mail reader. She should have shrugged her shoulders and said “hey, if you wanna suck cock in a public loo, then go right ahead” but she was just completely unprofessional!
‘Volk’ should start with a capital, Choirboy. You should know that, being from the Rhineland.
I like Ruby on Rails, too.
WE DEMAND AN APOLOGY!
I feel the pope is using superstition and the susceptibility of stupid people to criticise anyone who thinks differently to him. Who do I complain to?
I want to see deviant behaviour in my living room.
By “flaming ball” does he mean it was on fire or was he just using a mild oath before informing us that a bollock was used as a rudimentary substitute
The commercial stations? Do I need one of those new fishbone aerials for that? I hope my H-shaped antenna can’t receive that common tripe!
I remember seeing that flaming hockey footage. I think it was in Mexico. Don’t worry, the eco-Nazi-PC-health-and-safety brigade that you hate so much will probably ban it over here.
