Hundreds of thousands complain to BBC about the plot of BBC News 24

Tonight, the BBC was inundated with complaints after the simmering sexual tension between Matthew Amroliwala and Louise Minchin was interrupted by news of the Italian earthquake.

Relations between the two presenters appeared to reach fever pitch when news suddenly broke of a boring old earthquake in the far away land.

A Facebook group named ‘Let Matt n Lou get it on!!!!11!’ currently has 300,000 members.

Self-proclaimed BBC News 24 super-fan Wendy McTuppence, set up an online petition which has attracted over 2,460,000 signatures.

“We, the real fans of BBC News 24, who make the channel what it is today, demand that the writers of the news stop pandering to the PC-left and allow the presenters to gaze longingly into each others eyes and indulge in light petting. Who cares about a load of greasy wops? We all know that this earthquake is just God’s judgement after they let Mussolini in. My friend Ada went there on holiday once. They put toilet roll in the bin instead of flushing it down the toilet! And they eat dogs.”

This scandal is the latest to rock the BBC in a week where forty million people complained after it was alleged that Jonathan Ross thought the word ‘fuck’ live on air.

A BBC spokesman issued the following statement:

“Sorry, I can’t talk now. I’m shaving my balls.”

Victory! (or how I finally figured out Wordpress)

Five minute install, my fucking balls.

If you’re expecting this, fuck off there. When I’m ready to get this out of the ‘work-in-progress’ stage, I’ll let Tumblr know.

Update – I haven’t quite decided which theme I’m going for. The smiling children, fwuffy aminals and flowers will be summarily executed out the back as soon as possible.

Update 2 – This’ll do for now. Looks like I’ll have to get my CSS books out.

Update 3 – Fucking balls. This renders shite in Firefox on my Macbook. The font-size is massive by default. If the site appears to be completely fucked, please let me know which browser you’re using in the comment thread. Yeah, comments and everything. I’m letting you talk back to me now.

Update 4 – It could be that I’m just a thick cunt. Maybe the default font-size is too high in the style sheet (it’s saved on my desktop downstairs so, as far as checking it out now goes, it might as well be in space). Maybe I’ve been fucking with my browser’s font-size and forgot. Either way, let me know if you have any trouble. I’m far too lazy to test it in every possible browser and I’m sure it will look shite for someone somewhere.

Update 5 – Yup, it was just me. Played with comment moderation settings. There’s no way I’m approving every single one of them. Also, they’re now nested. I doubt there’ll be so many that nesting is really necessary but it looks nice and I’m all about context.

Update 6 – Ah, this is much better. It still needs a bit of a tweak but it’s closer to what I was looking for.
