Hecklerspray has a quick test for you. Try saying the words ‘seal cull hunt’ three times very quickly without using the c-word.
It’s not easy is it? Well, it certainly wasn’t for one poor newsreader on Sky last weekend, who dropped a major clanger by mentioning the c-word live on air during a story about Canada’s annual seal cull. When describing the clubbing to death of seals, he accidentally lets it slip – quite forcibly – what he really thinks about people who cull seals.
Or maybe he just doesn’t like Canadians…or maybe it’s the seals he thinks are cunts.
Anyway, it somehow managed to make a very serious topic into a funny one. Well, they do say Sky are dumbing down the news.
