Sounds like a good name for a band.

I'm just here to wait for the pic.

You know the one.

4 complaints. Wooooo!

At least it wasn't being licked by a giraffe.

/got nuthin'

RubberFootMan it's four complaints now, but just think how many can be added with the appropriate newspaper coverage. What a pile of wank.

Did someone say 'nuts'?

Moops: Why do you just happen to have that picture?

Wank, maybe. But they're out to kill the BBC. However, they don't have Thatcher to appoint hostile administrators, so they have to do what they can.

Funny, if something like this was on, say, Channel Four, they'd be OK with it. You never see outrage over Sky, or their garbage, do you?

LMAO

It was a grey squirrel anyway - they're vermin which means you can kill them anytime, and you should.

Daily Fail is getting to big for it's boots, needs to be taken down a peg or four. It's just a pretentious tabloid.

I'm shocked. SHOCKED.

Fapinator: I'm just here to wait for the pic.

I've been waiting for years.. YEARS!.. for the chance to post it.
Now I feel like a true Farker.
I can die in peace.

Better red than dead: Bill Oddie's quip over electrocuted squirrel angers [four] BBC viewers

The Daily Mail's hate campaign against the BBC is stretching abnormally thin these days...

Those British people, still so effing self-righteous after all these years.



/Probably one person complained to the BBC.

blazemongr: At least it wasn't being licked by a giraffe.

/got nuthin' nuttin'

FTFY

Its just pining for the fjords

I just love smoked nuts.

RubberFootMan: 4 complaints. Wooooo!

We all know that each complaint represents a billion viewers, so that's four billion viewers!

Was it a Norwegian Blue Squirrel

You know what really grinds my gears?
Electrocuted squirrels.

Yes, Americans would never whip themselves into a frenzy over an exposed nipple on TV or anything like that would they?!

This. I'd welcome our English friends to spend a few hours watching some of our prime time dramas, if seeing a fried squirrel upsets them so. A real choice murder or two would turn them whiter than they already are. However, they are genuinely (and rightfully) puzzled by our puritanical approach to nudity and sex, given how permissive we are when it comes to the worst sort of violence.

Nipples = Won't somebody think of the children!!! Whaaargaarbl
Graphic violence = oh, that's ok. At least we're not showing nipples or using the 'f' word.

America I love you but you're bringing me down...

It was on the level of four or so that were actually whipped in to a Frenzy.

Quite right. I understand that the current Nanny State^TM advice is to catch them in a trap, and whack them with the back of a spade.

Squirrels in water skis, squirrels with nuts, and squirrels getting shocked. Sounds like the squirrels are plotting to take over the world in 2012 according to the Mayans.

We need to prepare for our squirrel overlords.

squirrel please

The Rover: Moops: Why do you just happen to have that picture?

GISed for "electrocuted squirrel."

One of the children from the article.

Damn. I was hoping for a better story than that.

Make one up?

Hehe, TV in the UK is atleast as violent as the US probably more so. The problem here, as with all people whining about death or violence on TV comes from people with children.

I, for one, wouldn't mind seeing the occasional nipple on CSI.

Electrocuted squirrel? So now there's more food available? Sweet!

Good enough excuse to link one of my favorite videos... Squirrel Launcher ^

From the US Army Survival Manual FM 21-76, p. 7-27

Suicide Squirrels. When will they stop?
They are going to win the war aren't they?

They're just rats wi8th fluffy tails.

Little f*cker deserved it. First they chew your wires. Then they subvert your poodle. Next, they steal your beer.



/electrocution is too good for the likes of them

Goodie goodie yum yum

squirrels are just rats with good pr

Never mind that. Kate Humble, people.



The UK's new, not-mental-at-all posh totty.

Twice.

Why did they have to show the squirrel? They could just have shown the electric cable where it had been bitten through

It's a wildlife show, not an electric cable show.
/duh
