Have their say
Eric the Unread and Laban Tall are encouraging us to enter into a little jolly with the BBC Have your say forum. That’s a place where you submit your thoughts on a pre-selected subject to the BBC’s editorial team (or someone) and then it is either published or chucked in the bin. Eric says:
So, your challenge, should you accept it, is to attempt to get a lunatic Have your Say comment published on any subject. Points will be awarded for pandering to the bias of the BBC Have your Say team, outlandish comparisons, anti-Western sentiment, stupidity, and mentioning Blair is a liar.It’s not as easy as you might think, you know. I’ve been pushing lunatic stuff their way for ages without success.
Don’t let that put you off though, it might be fun to try and write in the style of your favourite moonbat. My advice?
- Make submissions quickly as the BBC seem to stop considering entries after a while.
- Make out you are a member of some kind of state approved minority or something.
