BBC foreign weather rudeness clusterfuck
Earlier on, on Twitter, I joked that the Daily Mail would produce an outraged story about BBC weatherman Tomasz Schafernaker being caught flipping the bird live on TV:
Well, it seems that no sooner do you ask, than do you receive:
Causes a storm! Do you see?! Except:
Ed Taylor, a spokesperson for Ofcom said there had been no complaints about the incident.
What, no complaints? Surely that must change! Especially seeing as:
At this point, the camera pans to the Polish-born weatherman, who can be seen sticking his middle finger up before suddenly realising he is on camera.
What...?! Not only is he a pinko Commie scumbag working for the evil State Stalinist broadcasting monolith stealth tax of the BBC, but he's a Polish-born weatherman as well?! Taking jobs away from our indigenous weather presenters and pouring over here like a cold front of immigration raining down on our hard-working aboriginal weathermen and weatherwomen! And he once appeared on the front cover of one of those magazines! Grrrrrrrrrrrr!

He’s the same Tomasz Schafernaker who upset quite a lot of people by referring to the Western Isles as ‘Nowheresville” during a live broadcast a few years ago. Mail readers would no doubt approve of that though.

think its as much a pun as anything more sinister

And don’t forget that he’s a weatherman, which on the Daily Mail hierarchy of people to hate, puts him between traffic wardens and travellers.

Maybe he should have said “weatherman causes mild breeze after making rude gesture”

BBC staff now follow the lead of their own website and refer to giving the finger as
“giving the weather gesture”
