Black British Corporation

[Theblip]

Is this BBC ident representative of the UK population: https://youtu.be/txr-xlxpG94
? Do you think it would be broadcast on the BBC these days if all of them were white?

[emmie]

no, but then again blacks weren't represented at all,

[emmie]

once upon a time.

[bobbinwales]

There rightly trying to redress the balance after the past but maybe there going to far somtimes and it lead's to reactions like the blips so may be countaproductive if there not carefull. One simalar one yesterday (before the One Show?) maybe showed about 12 peopel who all looked like drag queens to me, but a couldnt see the relavance to the program.

[Mamyalynne]

If you are going to critique idents this year then you need more balance Blip.

[Theblip]

MamaLynne’s predictable defence of the indefensible BBC

[johnk]

NO

[Rosie29]

I like it.

[emmie]

i don't much care.

[Bobbisox1]

I'm not bothered on way or another

[emmie]

the BBC have been trying to seem right on for years, shame that comes at the cost of their often dire programming.

[Theblip]

And now the new John Lewis ad: https://youtu.be/x2sE2YuheK0

[Mamyalynne]

Mamyalynne's predictable habit of providing balance rather than Blip's narrow tunnel vision.

[emmie]

what a dippy ad. John Lewis can do better i suppose........

[Mamyalynne]

Nethen, what have John Lewis done?

Wrong pigeon, hedgehog or snow?

Or is it the heart warming messages that irk?

[Theblip]

You defend a corporation which no longer has balance, only bias. It is no longer fit for purpose

[Mamyalynne]

I am defending (as you put it) no one - I pointed out that this year there have been many idents - do I like them all?

No, but frankly I have far more to do than worry about them.

Now spill - what's wrong with the John Lewis Ad?

[bednobs]

john lewis?
i think theyll sell to anyone

[bednobs]

are you by any chance the poster theshhhhh?

[Mozz71]

You have got some sort of problem Theblip.

What is the difference between five non white ladies knitting and the fifteen or so white (and one black) faces of Mamya's link? You have a serious problem mate.

[Mozz71]

Hmmm having just watched the John Lewis ad, I can guess what theblip's issue with it might be.
