You heard about the Ross/Brand thing? It’s unlikely that you would had it not been for the newspapers spreading the outrage far and wide. I tend to assume that the people who read this are smart, mainly because smart people enjoy laughing at the things stupid people do and stupid people are not going to log on to a site to read about how stupid they are. If this is the case and you are a smart reader then I don’t really need to explain what was so fundamentally wrong with the whole ‘controversy’.
Instead I am going to blatantly steal an idea from B3ta and ask you all to do this:
1. Go to www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/complaints_stage1.shtml
2. Make sure you have the ‘Make a complaint’ box ticked
3.Complain about ‘Television Programmes’
4. Select bbc 1 and Put 02/11/08 in date
5.Songs of Praise in Programme box
6. Make a sensible complaint about how and why you dislike Songs of Praise - you could point out how silly it is for license payers to be forced to subsidise the church of england’s advertising campaign, for example.
7. Put in some false (but reasonable) details.
Somehow I doubt that famous 80s choirboy hasbeen Aled Jones will be sacked in a right wing newspaper fuelled witch hunt, but then it might be a slow news day.
