It would appear that (on my computer at least) Usenet has thrown some kind
of fit today, as it's suddenly started to regurgitate long forgotten posts
from months ago in a big way.

believe nothing the fossil media say

"But some listeners failed to see the funny side complaining of racist
stereotyping and vulgarity by the broadcaster, adding it was
unsuitable for children."

Oh yeah i really think all the kids tune into that show on a regular
basis inbetween smashing up the neighbourhood and the old folk.

Also, it is precisely this kind of mindless vulgarity that children
love. I'm reminded of the Flanders and Swann song Pee, Po, Belly, Bum,
Drawers.
