I understand that it's a fun little story. But, for god's sake, at least make it somewhat believable!
You think the BBC invented this?
What's unbelievable about it?
Why get so outraged?
I apologize for sounding outraged; I wasn't outraged at the actual events, but the story telling. It's as if someone leaves out critical parts of a story, and you're so engrossed in it that you think: wait a minute, how did that happen? I want to know more, dammit! :-)
