BBC flashes Kylie Minogue's minge at innocent kiddies

Aussie superstar genitalia outrage

Regcast training : Hyper-V 3.0, VM high availability and disaster recovery

We're obliged today to the concerned Reg readers* who alerted us to the latest example of why licence-fee-driven TV is nothing more than a vehicle to punt pornography to impressionable minds who might otherwise be out riding their bikes and playing conkers:

Kylie Minogue renamed Kylie Minge on BBC website

For the record, this scandalous renaming of Oz's highly-talented chanteuse was available for just a few minutes this morning before the powers that be moved to deploy the blue pencil. Notwithstanding, we have made our dossier available to the relevant authority, and expect a cheque from The Daily Mail's indignant moral outrage desk by return of post. ®

Bootnote

*Yes indeed - the question of why Reg readers feel driven to enter "kylie's minge" into the BBC search engine is without doubt a matter for qualified psychiatrists.

Thinking back...

This story reminds me of my time at uni... in the campus radio station, any reference to "Kylie Minogue" in the record / CD library and catalogue had been either entered as or changed to "Curly Minge".

Relatively speaking

Does this mean that the diminutive antipodean songstress is related to the leader of our own Lib-Dems?

And would an impersonator go by the name of Kylie Merkin?

more to the point.....

why is their spell-checker/auto correction changing "Minogue's" or whatever it was they first wrote to Minge's. I know none of the text editors I use change or offer "Minge" as an alternative.

Me thinks they must be using their work comp for something else.....
