Radio Rabies

The BBC have recently had reports leaked out that they will be downsizing a lot of their content which includes the possible death to 6Music and the Asian Network as well as many features to it’s website and imported shows from America.

There has been quite an outcry from music fans at the possible extinction to the alternative music station 6 Music which as David Bowie described as a station that “keeps the spirit of broadcasters like John Peel alive”. There has been 80,000 or so signature added to a petition to keep the station alive but who knows what they’ll decide.

Maybe if they stopped paying the executives so much that claim so many expenses the BBC would be in a better shape.

I wouldn’t worry though it’s not as if they’re ever going to stop showing “Family Guy” any time soon, and if they did, it’ll soon be on E4 and as far as 6Music, there is a cacophony of internet radio stations that play lots of new music as well as website that help promote new people… just saying…

The expenses row. It’s always there to give us a cheap laugh at the ridiculous things that these high earning people don’t want to part with their cash for. The latest one is a guy called Mark Thompson who is the Director General of the BBC. He’s on a mind blowing £834,000 a year and he went through all the rigmarole and paperwork for a measly 70p (0.00008% of his yearly wage maths fans!). Seriously, get a grip!

I once saw this kid showing off to his friend by tossing a £2 coin into the air and catching it over and over. Then by a sudden twist of fate he dropped it onto the floor where it rolled down a drain. It was hilarious for me and the kid saw the funny side of it. I’m going to assume that the kid wasn’t on £834,000 and he was ok(-ish) about losing nearly 3 times the amount Mark Thompson once claimed for.

I was under the impression that people with high paid jobs were paid so much so they could afford shit like travel etc. I guess that isn’t the case! Why the Hell are they getting paid a stupid amount?
