    Agreed. Feeling like you need to spray "down there" is one thing but admitting it and doing it on national tv is quite another.

      Ok, I made that last one up. How surprised would you have been if it was true though.
      This reminds me of a funny but very much off colour joke which circulated after the death of Michael Hutchence who named his daughter Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily.
      Why a four-year-old child could understand this report! Run out and find me a four-year-old child, I can't make head or tail of it.

        Today I saw a PBS children's show on animals as soon as I turned on the set. A young boy of color had sent a video question asking about the fastest animal on Earth. To my amazement, he said his name was *Elon*!

          News headlines designed to be as eye-catching but misleading as possible.

          Reading a news article and it taking 4 paragraphs or so to get to the point.

          'POPULAR FOOD RECALLED FROM TESCO.....' OK well if it were that urgent you'd mention what the food is and what the problem is in the headline.

            Weather reporters that talk about what the weather has been like today. What’s the point?

                      Cultural fads that go Mainstream. Good example: Fistbumping. NO ONE except for gangbangers and their groupies even knew what fistbumping even WAS. Then Obama does it during his campaign and within two weeks it has completely replaced handshakes and you're a racist so-and-so if you don't jump on the fad wagon.

                        Programs that run commercials from their competitors. Example: A local sports station has a particular credit union as a major sponsor. But a team that they run the games of has a different credit union sponsoring THEM. Result: You often get two commercials for different CUs consecutively. Where does the Conflict of Interest START?

                          Because camels are an Endangered Species. (VERY BAD joke)

                            Can't say this has penetrated the UK as much. We do it, but it's minor.
