mythtaken is the fault of a somewhat fannish-oriented, marginally geeky englishwoman with too much time on her hands and serves as an attic for her to keep all her stuff in.

"gitstorm" is my new favourite word

Charlie Brooker on the Daily Mail's content in the wake of the Brand-Ross debacle:

Friday's paper included a rundown of other "obscenities" broadcast by the Beeb, which the paper fearlessly "uncovered" by recording some TV shows and writing down some of the jokes. To protect readers' sensibilities, all the rude words were sprinkled with asterisks, although since the Mail's definition of "rude" extends to biological terms such as "penis", it was a bit like gazing at an ASCII representation of a snowstorm on a ZX Spectrum circa 1983. Perhaps next week it will produce a free sheet of asterisk stickers for readers to plaster over their own genitals, lest they catch sight of them in a mirror and indignantly vomit themselves into a coma.
