Listening to a few people on the Internet is capitulation.

I mean that's not even public pressure when I doubt that most people didn't really care either way would be my guess.

But I am wondering why The Guardian had that skit on their Newspaper anyway? I didn't think that they knew what a joke was.

But who's gonna stop reading a Newspaper because of a skit that they didn't like?

The Guardian have blown it way out of proportion imo, and should've told the 5 people trying to get it banned to politely **** off.

There's nothing wrong with disliking the skit btw (personally I didn't find it funny) but to be mortally wounded by it is bizarre imo, that's not aimed at you BOTS, that's just at people in general.
