More People Complain To BBC About Pointless,Dr Who Than About Middle East Cover
All I can say to the moaning morons is get a life.

-"Ban gays!" Check.
-Person sick and tired of the fact gay people exist. Check
-"Ban sci-fi interracial relationships!" Check
-"I was too busy writing a complaint about how difficult the episode was to understand to pay attention to the episode". Check
-Reference to a non-existent religious agenda. Check.
-"The show is sexist" Check
(Actually, I agree that the "men are apes" line was atrocious. It made me physically cringe. It felt like Moffat inserted it into the script to show to everyone how he's not a sexist -he isn't, but some people think he is- but ended up failing miserably. It was a truly awful cringeworthy line... but I don't really feel compelled to complain to the BBC about it or make sweeping statements about sexism)
Haha. That's too good. How "dumbed down" does Doctor Who have to be?
You've also got to love how the BBC are simultaneously accused of pro-Palestinian AND pro-Israeli bias in their news reports. Just goes to show how its just people seeing what they want to see (and then whining about it).
Just proves that someone, somewhere will always find something to be offended by, if they look really, really hard.
But frankly, with all the horrendous things that are actually going on in the world, these people get upset over a 'kiss' between a fictional lizard lady and another fictional lady! Or the use of the word 'dunce'!! And then they think that their unbelievably petty, puffed up self important views are worth airing in the form of an official complaint!! What is wrong with these people? Seriously, what is wrong with them?
Although that particular cretin was concerned about it being "pre-watershed". After all, what if children watching had been turned gay by the episode?:o
Then there's the person who thinks kids are going to start humping reptiles. It's all part of "the current so-called modern world mentality", apparently. That's right, the made-up Political Correctness Brigade want everyone to treat animals as equals and indeed engage in inter-species sexual relationships with them.
Gold star.
I want a t-shirt with that on!
(To clarify- the quote, not a gold star. I'm not an Adricophile or anything)
In fact, I watched Eastenders for the first time in months the other day and I hadn't a clue what was going on. I'm going to complain to the BBC that Eastenders episodes are too hard to understand when you haven't been watching for months.
Why is Doctor Who expected to be made up solely of self-contained stories when no-one cares if any other show has one continuous narrative?
Well!!
Who do I complain to?
It's disgusting, I don't want my children to be exposed to this sort of filth!! >:(>:(
Ohhh.... just realised. You must have had that same awful cold as me!
I've been watching the wrong channel all along.... no wonder I never got anywhere.
Yep I'm with Koquillion, that is definitely a t-shirt sentence material !
Must admit I nearly complained about Pointless myself though - it wasn't that an episode was shown by mistake, one was deliberately not shown as the BBC realised they had got an answer wrong but they weren't big enough to admit it and hoped no-one would notice>:(
Interested now! What was it?
It was the head-to-head round where they had to name parts of a digital camera. One of the answers was sensor when it should've been pixel.
The reason so many people got upset is it was the episode where £20,000 was won - so we'd been building up to it for weeks and then the show just started again at £1000 with no explanation. It looked like the BBC were just hoping no-one would notice and they wouldn't have to admit being wrong - which might've worked with any other episode, but not that one!
I think Arsenal were playing the Saturday early evening kick-off that week which would have finished round about the same time Doctor Who was starting
