BBC takes a stand on "both-side-ism:"

"To achieve impartiality, you do not need to include outright deniers of climate change in BBC coverage, in the same way you would not have someone denying that Manchester United won 2-0 last Saturday. The referee has spoken.”

Let's play an early morning edition of "Guess the source of this story:"

The segment criticized the Thomas and Friends show for adding new characters, including a train named Nia from Kenya.

The host argued that the show doesn't need ethnic diversity, saying that the show “literally has no ethnicities because they're trains."

"I mean, I’m looking at this picture and I’m really, really struggling to understand how in the world there isn’t any diversity in any of this,” the host said. The image was then put on the screen, depicting three trains in KKK hoods and burning train tracks in the background.

“It was the white hoods,” the host said. “And the burning train tracks. OK, fine, fair point. Fair. I get it. Thomas the Tank Engine has been a blight on race relations for far too long. Clearly this is overdue. Right?”

B) A video clip from The Onion's new kids themed website.
C) From NRA spokewoman Dana Loesch on her NRA TV show Relentless.

Didn’t realize they aren’t even hiding the R stands for racists now.

I see no reason to be upset with the show adding the new trains, but she kind of has a point albeit expressed very poorly. Would any kid that is not exposed to diversity at school/pre-school or some other way really learn anything from the newly added train from Kenya? Perhaps it might spawn questions about geography but race relations?

But holy shiat--Survival Shield X-2 is on sale for only $29.95 for a limited time! It uses 200+ year-old crystals.

No way you're stupid if you're taking that stuff.

I hope you know that the "OK" sign as a white power gesture is fake.

It was started on 4chan as a joke, to see how many people would believe it.
