Sky News reports the PCC has so far received more than 800 complaints about the Jan Moir article - PCC website may have crashed

Report on Sky at 7pm, apparently

i highly doubt charlie brooker is a facebook user. surely that site sums up everything he hates most about humanity.

 

[QueenOfGoths]

Hee hee - am off home now and first thing I am going to do when I get there is log onto Facebook and join

 

[Chairman Meow]

I'll join when I get home - facebook is barred at work. Good work everyone!

he writes about popular culture from a highly misanthropic pov... facebook is second only to twitter in the two sites i can imagine he despises. could be wrong tho

 

[kyser_soze]

I really don't get the new headline?

Lonely? wasn't he about to have a threesome?

Umm yeah good work on the group. Good to see that the interntz can be mad at more then just scientologists(although NEVER stop hating them)

Lonely cos teh gay cannot know real love or friendship, and are permanently isolated.

You're invariably wrong Gabi: it's an internet law

BT have got back to me:

Thank you for email. We've had a number of complaints about this today and have passed these on to our media planning department.
Best wishes,
Gemma

Says here that it's all down to Malcom Cole that the ads have been removed, but he didn't start twittering 'til around 10.30...after BK had started spreading the word. Bloody journalists ey...always taking credit for other people's work

@ danny:

Who will turn round and say 'Hmm, 10,000 liberals vs. 2m Mail readers'; no contest.

 

[Guineveretoo]

The Lesbian and Gay Foundation have picked it up as well now

Today, I side with the liberals.

 

[kyser_soze]

Sadly (and I say this truly) media planners, while possibly actually giving a fuck about the article, won't unrecommend the Mail in view of the coverage they'll lose in the campaign they've booked.

It's the brand&marketing managers at the client you need to get to in this case...
