STOP PRESS :

: Babar Ahmad from Tooting arrested under UK anti Terrorist laws and wanted in the US is believed to be something of a black sheep.... when asked if he had any bombs in his possession he replied, "yes sir, yes sir... three bags full!"

: John Prescott wants architects to stop building mock Tudor country houses - like the one he lives in.

Recently Bullshit News in an attempt to raise some more revenue - this is a free site - through display of affiliate banners, signed up with William Hill the bookmakers. All was fine until they realised we had affiliations to adult sites too, where adult entertainment could be purchased - including a link site (see banner below). We received an email from them asking us to remove their banners as they had a policy about adult entertainment. What group we therefore wondered were they aiming their business at and pointed out that they had no policy about people losing their shirts, ruining their lives and families going broke so how come the moral stand point on a natural function like sex and the naked body. The reply was curt to say the least, not happy that we had pointed out the bleedin' obvious and as it happens on the day when the press was full of children gambling through the internet... didn't go down well at all in fact. It turns out they wouldn't associate themselves with anything, porn, content of an adult nature, anything that would cause offence to their clients - except perhaps parting them with all their money and thereby assisting in the furtherance of their suicide albeit indirectly. Naked bodies, sex, porn... my god whatever will we do. Just what research I wonder, have they done into the typical gambler out for a free hit. Are gamblers really that moral a bunch of humanity or are they in it for the quick buck. Buck! Buck.... sounds like Fu..... (With apologise to Black Adder)

Are William Hill still plumbing the depths of an old Victorian morality? Eurpoeans must laugh their socks off at the British and their archaic attitudes to sex. We - Bullshit News have taken a moral stand too. Once we thought about a judgement that allows WH to take the moral high ground regarding sex, porn and the naked body, we realised that we must make a stand against a company who seem to have double standards. Which would you prefer, staring blankly at a screen at writhing, heaving, passionate, turned on bodies doing what comes naturally, or a reality TV show that shows a guy and his family going broke. Oh how we would cheer as the kids made fun of school. Oh how we would snigger at the site of a man and his wife being ostracised by the acquaintances he held in such high esteem. Oh how we would laugh watching as they try to get credit and were turned down.

PS By the way, the affiliate marketing manager, in his email, drew my attention to the data protection act lest I divulge the nature of his email's content. Uuuuh!?
