funny bbc news clip

BBC interviews news editor regarding the Apple/Beatles
verdict. Only one problem: the gentleman in the hotseat was
the news editor's driver. Hilarity ensues.

When you have had 24 of your closest friend die of BBC
interview related accidents, then, you can begin laughing at
things like this.

I think the dude spoke a lot of sense. More sense then any
other cabbie I have ever had to listen to.

As amusing as your latest, "When you have had X of
your closest friend die of Y related accidents, then,
you can begin Zing things like this." post format is,
I'm intrigued as to where it comes from. Did someone try to
win an argument citing dead friends and you're now taking
the piss?

It's a gash way of (trying to) winning arguments,
effectively trying to rely on the tabboo nature of not being
bothered by other people's grief; my usual response is,
"Well, if you lost x number for friends to y, you're the
last person who should be commenting on it. There's no way
that you'll be able to be dispassionate and logical about
it."

My other one is, "Just because you lot are Godless cowards
who think death is the end, don't impose your fixation with
unneccesarily prolonging your worthless lives upon me."

I love how he's just about to say "hey, i'm not that guy",
but then he thinks, "shit, i have to go along".

You can tell he wants to get his greasy mitts on that
newsreader.

I reckon it's something along the lines of:

News Editor:
"Christ I'm hungover... I can't face this interview."
*turns to driver*
"Oi, Timbo, do you know what mp3s are?"

Driver:
"Yessir, me daughter has them on her walkman, with her
friends."

News Editor:
"Excellent, put your jacket on, I just need you to come into
the building to give me a hand with something..."

Unfortunately, we didn't have a BNP candidate in my
constituancy.

I always knew there was something dodgy about that Ceri JC.
If you look closely at his avatar, you can just make out a
black guy getting lynched.

I'm not. :)

Incidentally, did felch_hicks actually watch the clip and
listen to how the bloke spoke? It's not like I've suggested
a man with elocution to shame the queen who happens to be
black talks like a sugar cane plantation worker...

Wait a minute. You're NOT a racist now?? I can't keep up
with this. Sorry for accusing you earlier.

Yeah, I know it's pretty complex: I was accused of racism, I
joked that I was racist, rather than deigning to defend
against the accusation. Then, when there was some confusion
as to whether I was joking, I clarified that I had been.

Apology accepted.

As an aside, my constituancy is currently without a
race-relations officer (he was sacked after being charged
with sexual harrasment for being a peeping tom), so the BNP
could well sneak in.

They got a seat in my constituency. Although its disgusting,
you have to laugh eventually - the bloke is a joke, he's got
a huge handlebar moustache, I bet he eats union jacks for
breakfast. He wont have a clue.

Although lets not fuck up redrums fine thread with politics.

That moment of, "Oh fuck. Too late to say anything now, best
just go along with it..."

It did provide a useful insight into the way newsreaders
"lead" people they're interviewing, "Yes, that seems to be
the main thing about x" and then proceed to recite a
pre-written script. It's almost as if you get the
credibility of having an "expert" (bad choice in this case,
ho ho ho), but you get to "explain" what they mean to the
average viewer.

Sorry?!

How on earth did you manage to misinterpret:

Me: "Unfortunately, we didn't have a BNP candidate in
my
constituancy."

You: "you cannot be serious?"

Me: "I'm not. :)"

As

Me: "Unfortunately, we didn't have a BNP candidate in
my
constituancy."

You: "you cannot be serious?"

Me: "I am: I'm a complete bigot and all Britain's
problems are the direct result of us letting foreigners in.
I think the BNP will save the country."

I don't mean to be rude, but are you taking the piss?
