And so was the cat, presumably.

    I don't get it. Why rig a poll on a frickin' cat's name?

    The only reason I can imagine is that this is some kind of crypto-political Clinton sucking up -- and frankly that sounds paranoid even to me.

    So: either the BBC is willing to lie about completely trivial issues just because they can, or they've gotten sufficiently partisan that they surpass the worst imaginings of right-wingers.

    Well... Apparently, the most popular name voted was "Pussy".

    *snickers*

    It's a pity; I would have watched Blue Peter constantly if that had been the most popular name, just for the double-entendres.

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
