180 complaints, wow such a large number. Why not just, switch over the channel?

I love Big Fat Quiz of the Year. Sadly, to my knowledge at least, it's not broadcast here in America. It was "Post-watershed" which I guess means at night when children should be sleeping, and had a warning about content, so these people had no reason to complain. What did they expect? Sunshine and rainbows and unicorns?

I'm not sure what DM have against Jack Whitehall, half the article is about where he lives, how much his family earns, and what school he went to. How is it relevant to the jokes he made?

Good, it's about time people stopped being so pissy over small things.

I seriously detest people who write in to broadcasters to 'complain' I mean really grow the fuck up.

Not much worse than other years. Who gives a fuck.

[QUOTE=Lukeo;39474367]Why not just, switch over the channel?[/QUOTE] James Corden and Jack Whitehall just appearing the screen should've been enough for most.

It was fucking hilarious!

'Oh the guy was a bit rude when he served me and he didn't smile once' get the fuck over it [editline]5th February 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=SteveUK;39475837]James Corden and Jack Whitehall just appearing the screen should've been enough for most.[/QUOTE] One of the best pairings they've had yet! James Corden and Sean Lock was another one

Right decision. I mean, I watched about 20 minutes of it, didn't find it funny and changed channel. I swear some people are always on the phone just in case the see something they can complain about.

[QUOTE=Maloof?;39477214]They remind me of the people who complain about bad customer service. 'Oh the guy was a bit rude when he served me and he didn't smile once' get the fuck over it[/QUOTE] That's a bit different in my opinion. Customer service should be very amiable and able to deal with people well by default, it's understandable if somebody complains when a rep was apathetic the whole time. People complaining over shit like BFQ however, are just straight up fucked. There's no explanation, I don't have a fancy analogy, they're just idiots.
