Deborah Orr update

The BBC have a section on their website called NewsWatch which has a page on the (now infamous) Deborah Orr incident. I seem to be the only blogger to have mentioned it, but I've had a fair few people coming to thebadrash.com from a search about this story.

I feel that I should also add that I wasn't upset by Ms Orr's language in any way; I was just surprised that as part of a debate on how to improve children's behaviour, she didn't consider that by swearing live on TV at 8 in the morning, she turned herself into something of a self fulfilling prophecy.

I thought it was pretty funny, and it took me back to listening to a documentary about the Sex Pistols' notorious appearance on the Bill Grundy TV Show which ended in a tirade of swearing. One viewer interviewed after the incident sent shockwaves through the British Empire said that in his fury, he had kicked his TV over.
