Obviously not news
Despite the amount of coverage the BBC News site likes to give to the BBC I'm struggling to find this reported. How odd!

Third story on the UK front page as I write this. Admittedly the Beeb were a bit slow getting it up. Ooh, and indeed er, missus.

No product as such to promote, but bloody annoying anyway...
Took their time
The amount of coverage they gave them was sickening. And when you look at the poor album sales for "No Tunes on the Horizon" it seems the public thought so too.
I only object to it...
