BBC Web Slip-Up Insults Facebook Fans
An anonymous reader writes "The BBC has accidentally insulted its Facebook followers by revealing a version of a new website which wasn't yet ready for public consumption and in which it referred to its social media followers as 'saddos.' The same website also features a picture of the Queen, described as the Pakistan hockey team. File this one under 'a really bad day at the office' for one web developer."
It's pushing to expect Americans to know there is another side of the world.
Don't be silly, of course we know there is another side to the world. Most Americans just think that too is America.

Please, tell me more about how to design a website and present it to a client. I am very interested in your wealth of knowledge even though it's painfully obvious that I was making a joke (as unfunny as you may find it) and that the person who created the article's subject site doesn't care about standard convention and was more than likely looking for a way to entertain himself and/or his friends.
Commencing analysis...
Bush: stuck to his guns, dirty as they were.
Hill: stuck to his drawers, dirty as they were.
Einstein:
Results of his work: atomic bomb => Nagasaki, Hiroshima.
Regretted result of his work.
Python:
Result of their work: every fucking geek on the bastard planet reciting the same sketches for the thousandth time and finding it just as hilarious as the first. STOP IT. WE GET IT. YOU CAN RECITE SOMEONE ELSE'S COMEDY. WELL DONE. NOW CREATE SOMETHING NEW.
Do the group regret the result of their work, though afraid to admit it?
Hmm.
It is pushing it to assume Slashdot Europeans are not arrogant pricks. Why not go to one of your own sites and talk about all of the exciting technology being.. Oh nm, that was below the belt. You can stay here. Please try to keep your pretention to a minimum.
