Counterfeit Easter Revealed In Britain
In the strangest case of counterfeiting yet discovered, the BBC is trying hard to explain why their ersatz Easter program is just a bit of fiscal responsibility. No, really, they made a counterfeit Easter.
LONDON (AFP) - The BBC on Monday defended a decision to record an upcoming Easter religious show last November, saying it saved money by recording the programme at the same time as a Christmas cathedral broadcast.
The two episodes of the weekly Sunday religious show "Songs of Praise" were recorded one after the other four months ago at Lichfield Cathedral, the broadcaster confirmed, saying it was "unlikely" viewers would notice.
"There was no deception on the part of the BBC because we made it perfectly clear to the cathedral authorities and congregation," said a BBC spokesman.
"Particularly somewhere like Lichfield Cathedral, we go there and record two programmes in one place because it's a better use of resources and time for taking the cathedral out of use.
The taping of the two shows was revealed by the bishop of Lichfield, the Right Reverend Jonathan Gledhill. He says that the BBC changed the flowers and used bright lights shining through the windows to make it appear that the show had been taped in the spring. Now, we'd like to suggest how the BBC could make it even more realistic, in the Hollywood sense of the word, anyway: add a car chase and some ring girls! Everyone would know it was fake, but they wouldn't care!

This BBC twit is oblivious to the notion that the VIEWERS are the ones whose perceptions would be getting deceived about his broadcast, because, most likely, he considers them wankers who should eat whatever he feeds them… and be happy about it.
And keep handing over that telly tax, sheeple!
