    "The Mighty Boosh, eh?" Odd that they'd base a new show around the current American President.

      I think you are referring to the show "The Mighty Douche".

    This just helps cement my positive opinions of the BBC...I'm not usually very patriotic, but the BBC makes me want to start running around singing Rule Britannia at the top of my voice and hitting Welshmen with Union Jacks.

    It's very weird for me to see "The Mighty Boosh" mentioned here. Rich Fulcher lives near me and now I have to figure out how to explain Slashdot to him... worlds are colliding here, people!

    A multi-billionaire with a telly in each room of his 90-room mansion pays less than a student household

    Who exactly, of the THREE UK based sterling multi-billionaires is "abusing" the TV licence laws the most?

    Duke of Westminster
    Richard Branson
    David Sainsbury

  7. It's a conspiracy! by zanderredux · · Score: 2, Funny
    Actually, the BBC is engaged in a highly secret conspiracy orchestrated by 10 Downing Street and the British Crown to standardise spelling and pronunciation around the British English, putting to an end over than 20 years of American English domination in the global media, in the most un-American way ever conceivable: by giving stuff freely via Internet.

    Want proof? If you go abroad, take a look at CNN International. It uses British English as an attempt to present theirselves as a neutral news outlet, in a trend that began around the late '90s
