Blunt Assessment

A really blunt assessment of the children's programming arm of the British Broadcasting Company, the CBBC by a staffer is big news in Britain today. The staffer, presenter Kirsten O'Brien, who has been a regular on the CBBC for more than ten years, is rather harsh. She says that everyone at the CBBC is either gay or childless, but that they have one unifying trait:

They all hate kids.

A BBC children's presenter has raised eyebrows by claiming that "everyone at CBBC (the corporation's children's channel) is either gay or childless and don't like kids".

Kirsten O'Brien, a regular on children's television and radio for more than a decade, made the remarks during her stage show Confessions of a Children's TV Presenter at the Edinburgh Festival.

She went on to say: "Still, at least we're better than Palestinian children's TV, which gets kids to sing songs about AK-47 rifles."

There's a motto for the BBC to be proud of: "At least we're better than Hamas." (The BBC is claiming O'Brien made the comments in jest and that her employment with them is not in jeopardy. Our advice: clean your desk out now Ms. O'Brien and avoid the rush. When they start swearing your job is safe, you're toast.)
