Is the BBC scared of making jokes about Muslims?

April 3, 2008 12:50 pm

At the time of writing, Pat Condell’s website at has been taken offline by Homestead with the message:”Sorry, the site you requested has been disabled” , not “exceeded bandwidth” or anything like that.Update! Don’t worry - I went up to Mount Sensible, and I saw a bespectacled wise man who passed me a couple of tablets and said

“Lo! For I am simply changing my host and not to worry about it”. 

So there you go. No conspiracy. Got me worried though!Also, some Youtube users are reducing Pat’s viewcount and popularity by stealing his content, worst offender being janelite007 I’ve already left a message on this person’s channel. Please do the same.Also, can everyone please send the following message to Youtube.

Hi - theYoutube user patcondell is having his videos stolen by the user janelite007Eg., this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OxbYBIlT6VEIs identical to this original video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3_qelW5qp4I feel this violates policy and users should be redirected to v=W3_qelW5qp4 and the views transferred.

Comedian and writer Ben Elton has said the BBC is too “scared” to broadcast jokes about Muslims for fear of provoking radical Islamists.Elton, in an interview with Christian magazine Third Way, added that the broadcaster would “let vicar gags pass but would not let imam gags pass”.He said fear rather than “moral sensibilities” fuelled decisions about what material was appropriate.

So here’s a video:

“Childrens do learn” and more Bushisms…

“Childrens do learn,” Bush tells school kids

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Offering a grammar lesson guaranteed to make any English teacher cringe, President George W. Bush told a group of New York school kids on Wednesday: “Childrens do learn.”

During his first presidential campaign, Bush — who promised to be the “education president” — once asked: “Is our children learning?”

On Wednesday, Bush seemed to answer his own question with the same kind of grammatical twist.

“As yesterday’s positive report card shows, childrens do learn when standards are high and results are measured,” he said.

The White House opted to clean up Bush’s diction in the official transcript.

“NEW YORK (Reuters) - How do you keep a leader as verbally gaffe-prone as U.S. President George W. Bush from making even more slips of the tongue?
When Bush addressed the U.N. General Assembly on Tuesday, the White House inadvertently showed exactly how — with a phonetic pronunciation guide on the teleprompter to get him past troublesome names of countries and world leaders.”
