WORLD EXCLUSIVE:
I can reveal that the BBC has decided to change its logo to the new version above. In a statement due to be released tomorrow, the BBC says this:
The BBC is an organisation which moves with the times. For some while we have been considering how further to promote our developing role as the leading propaganda vehicle for militant Islamism.That bastard Pollard thinks he is being oh-so-clever in alleging bias here at the Baghdad/Beirut/take-your-pick Broadcasting Corporation. Well the last laugh is on us, matey. From now on we will be out and proud, and we are recognising our historic role as the shepherds of the Caliphate with this minor alteration to our logo.
Or maybe not.
(I nicked the logo from a new blog, Prodicus. Hopefully the author will consider this link sufficient payment!)
UPDATE: Just to pount out to any idiots who read this site: the above posting is A JOKE!

Have to confess I just stumbled across it in a trawl for BBC images with which to vent my spleen. No idea who made it. Good though, innit? Hat tip to... them.
Thanks for the laugh.
No doubt, Stephen, you saw the lead by Prodicus:
"The BBC's recruitment advertising goes almost entirely to the left-wing Guardian. I am having trouble reconciling my libertarian tendencies ('let recruiters recruit as they wish') with the urge to blog about this unhealthy symbiotic relationship. I can't think of an easy solution to this one."
Worth a look.
Aha! It's a joke. Don't you think it spoils the fun though when you have to label your jokes?
