EDIT:  People slag the BBC off, especially when they ask us to pay like $200 a year whether we watch it or not.... but, the thing is, they aired that.  They aired Frankie Boyle.  No commercial TV network would dare to air that.  But because they do not rely on commercial sponsors and advertisers they can show whatever they like that's of interest to the public.

I love this guy, I wish he would put himself up for election. He always says exactly what i feel and struggle to articulate.

Tomorrow there is a protest against the use of the term totem pole. Thou shalt not not use totem pole outputs for 1 hour.

Echo88:
Führer Out Goebbels In / Goebbels Out Führer In
FOGI / GOFI

Culturally insensitive but everybody knows whos the commander.
Cant do that with Mussolini, he'll brown out under pressure during communication.

At first i was also headshaking about the topic, but then i remembered that i was never in their shoes, so we'd need to ask actual black people wether it seriously bothers them, not other persons who like to speak on behalf of them.

paulca:
Hopefully this is a side storm that will fade.  Let them make their changes.  In 6 months when school starts back up properly and a few more of  the younger realise it's always sucked and... we already know that.

In a year we won't even remember this.

EDIT:  They are lighting a beacon, the purpose of which I hope we all support, but it's badly aimed, poorly focused and will be ultimately ineffective.
