BBC Shamed Again

By Nelson

Thanks to DoppelFrog for pointing me at a Daily Mail article about another “BBC scandal”. I ignore most Daily Mail submissions but this one is quite special for a couple of reasons.

Firstly, the “scandal” involves John Barrowman showing people his cock via the medium of radio. Seriously. Though “[...] genitalia were not actually shown, the crude comments [...] made it clear what had happened“. I can’t compete with that kind of comedy genius.

Secondly, the Daily Mail has implemented a comments recommendation system that shames the BBC’s and reveals the truth that people really AREN’T THAT AWFUL AND STUPID! They’ve improved on the HYS system by adding the crucial ability to vote a comment down as well as up. Scrolling through the list of comments, every single idiotic “OMG, END THE LICENSE TAX!” comment has, without fail, hundreds of negative votes and every “What the actual fuck are you bleating about now you stupid, prudish, overpaid, patronising, chinless journalist prick?” comment has hundreds of positive votes. On the Daily Mail site. So, for anyone still wondering about HYS, the answer is “yes, it is disproportionately affected by badly a designed recommendations system and a handful of self-absorbed cretins with too much time on their hands”.

Anyway, a couple of idiotic comments, just for fun.

The lack of moral fibre at the BBC is a symptom of todays sick and vile society. Whatever happened to good, honest broadcasting? I for one do not want to see genetalia on my radio!
- Peter Proudfoot, Berkshire

Not sure what to suggest there Peter. Perhaps you could close your eyes while you’re listening.

I wonder how many people saw Dirty Den doing something similar on a BBC webcam? Quite rightly, he was sacked. Let’s face it, if twits like John Barrowman think they can get away with such boastful behaviour once on a limited view show, then they will get more adventurous on other shows. There was always something about John Barrowman I was uneasy about, and now I know it was. He’s an exhibitionist of the most pathetic kind. Plus, he giggles shrilly and I hate that in a man, whatever his personal life might be like.

Don’t tell me, you’re not racist either, but you don’t feel that brown really “works” as a skin tone?

    As well as the system works do you not feel that were it implemented on the HYS website it would cause catastrophic, verging on biblical, mayhem. Not only would they bleat away when their overtly racist comments were turned down but they would sulk if their comments received any negative ratings at all.

    It would be civil war as the HYSers turn on their own kind and let’s be honest, if the cunts don’t have each other, who do they have?

    Nelson didn’t want me to tell anyone but it’s a mathematical relationship between the number of characters and the number of words in your post. You’ve hit upon the formula by accident, it seems.
