Luckily the picture caption wasn’t so meaningless. Oh, wait. It was.
What’s that? Why yes, thank you for asking, I do think this story is a pile of shit.
The BBC News website was the last man standing in my mini-war against consuming mainstream media. (Incidentally, I’m using plastic soldiers.) I’m tired of my life being tarnished by emotionally-charged ‘news’ spiced up and spat out in an effort to increase page impressions and viewer numbers. I’m also rather sad that BBC resources are being spent creating stories like the one above, the insulting ‘And finally…’ of the web.
No more.
