It's the end of civilisation as we know it - Grey Boy's Trousers

[erastes]

The BBC have got worse and worse recently with their sentence structure.

Coming home from the libary today there was this headline: "Police are looking for a man who robbed a security van dressed in a burqua."

What the hell was the van doing dressed in a burqua?

And Basil Brush questioned for racism!??  Boom Boom!  Free the foxy one!

I tell you, the world has gone mad.

And for the 1 percent of people left who haven't seen this.  "Trying to Communicate" by Sam Storyteller. LOLCAT/Torchwood. PG.

Oh I loved Basil growing up! He always had an answer for everything! (I wonder if I can get it on DVD over here)

"Police are looking for a man who robbed a security van dressed in a burqua."
This made me think of Groucho Marx: "One morning I shot an elephant in my pyjamas. How he got into my pyjamas I'll never know."

Is it possible?

Is it possible that the American news media isn't as uniquely stupid as I once feared it was?

Once our news had an in-depth story about an overturned van full of chickens heading for the slaughterhouse after which the reporter made impeccable eye contact with the camera and said, "We're happy to report the chickens are all unharmed."

Abstractrx

He's made a comeback in the last few years, and has his own show again, it's so wonderful to see him back.

Everyone, absolutely everyone on the effin' planet, is a precious, precious snowflake.

And now, I have to drink some coffee in my jeans.

Our local radio service drives me mad with their sloppy English and even sloppier reseacrh. E Coli is apparently a virus...

You realize, of course, that some of your readers are wondering what's racist about selling pegs and heather (also wtf 'pegs and heather' is significant of) and if that wasn't the racist comment, did he actually say that the other fortuneteller was a gypsy?

I figure the security van was blending into the crowd by dressing plainclothes...
