BBC Web Slip-Up Insults Facebook Fans

Posted by timothy on Sunday July 4, 2010 @05:50PM from the saddo-is-the-best-insult-ever dept.

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."

The problem with Lorem Ipsum is the stupid questions from clients.
" Is it French? What the fuck is this? Don't you speak english? How is anyone supposed to read it?"

CNN falls all over itself to pander to "social networking" types while the BBC refers to them as "saddos." Yet another example of the BBC showing up US news services.
