Small number of dumb-asses fault "Dr. Who" for being "too gay" [View all]

Story here

Much like the FCC in the U.S., the BBC must handle occasional viewer complaints. This time, three people have gotten themselves into a tizzy over the alleged over-promotion of homosexuality in the science fiction series "Dr. Who."

From the article:

A report released by the BBC today showed that three viewers had taken up formal complaints against the series for promoting a “homosexual agenda”, while the BBC as a whole was accused of “pro-gay bias”.

The report illustrated the BBC’s use of a policy that allows them to close down “trivial, misconceived, hypothetical, repetitious or otherwise vexatious” complaints.
