Blue Peter, the cat and the name

11:28 Thursday 20 Sep 07

So the people running Blue Peter lied about the name of the cat. Regardless of all the other lies at the BBC this one really does take the proverbial biscuit doesn’t it?
They have a new cat, they want a name for the cat so they ask the viewers of the program to name it. And when those viewers do name it they ignore it on the grounds the name could offend viewers. So why ask?
What is stranger is that the BBC, Times Online, Guardian, Mirror, Digital Spy and others I trawled through did not reveal this name. The Times cryptically refers to “a variant on Puss”. It takes The Sun to come to our rescue and daringly print “Pussy“. So the kids wanted pussy and the grownups gave them socks instead. Sounds about right :)
I could understand if they’d called it ‘furry bastard” or “Mouse Murderer” and that would have said a lot about the state of the nations youth, but Pussy? Good grief even James Bond had Pussy galore. Oops, missed the capital G there :)
You know what’s next – “Here’s one someone else made earlier”.

Update!
Latest from the BBC: “The cat was called Socks after staff changed the results of an online poll. Viewers wanted the cat named Cookie.” Now someone somewhere is now lying because everyone else was singing from the same songsheet.
