[BNM] (ot) BBC redesign competition

[Lloyd Raworth]

This will probably sound rather bitter and twisted to those 
well-adjusted, impartial and enlightened folk at the BBC, but this just 
looks like a transparently stupid PR stunt to me.

Is there any chance of them doing anything genuinely democratic? Like 
opening up their entire programme briefing and scheduling operations 
and their budgeting allocation procedures for a bit of public 
participation, instead of staging boring competitions.

The BBC never tire of telling everyone how professional they are. So 
why don't they stop drowning us in a deluge of garbage whilst 
pretending they're inclusive and democratic? And why don't they do it 
today, because they're running out of time?

They're asking you to design bbc.co.uk 2.0, which is funny because I'm
sure they've had at least three or four designs over the years... :D
