The BBC have been instrumental in encouraging and promoting graffiti for 10
years now. Nothing comes as a surprise to me, but at least I do not pay for
these scum on principle.

I'm sure that you will be able to back-up this claim with facts and also
cite credible sources for your statement.

Or not, as the case may be.

Oh, hang on. I /was/ thinking that you might actually be moaning about the
BBC's (and every other broadcasters) use of DOGs but I've just noticed the
other group you x-posted this to.

I assume that you must be on about the advertising of it's programming that
the BBC (and every other broadcaster) does around London, etc.

If so, what's the bloody problem? Are you exceptionally stupid or something?

What you call advertising, is what I regard as graffiti and vandalism. Just
because others do it does not make it acceptable to me.

I am not responsible for the message I was replying to nor its cross
posting.

I do not and will not have my tastes, standards, and preferences dictated
to.

So, to you, any billboard is graffiti and vandalism; or just the
BBC-specific ones?

A very odd POV in either case.

Are you saying that someone who has been convicted of something
illegal can never be employed to do something legal?

Your heading implies that the BBC is funding criminal activities.

In fact, the BBC has simply commissioned someone who happens to be
accused of criminal activities to do a specific piece of work for
them. Set decoration carried out according the instructions of the
owner of the set is not illegal as far as I know.

It might be legal , but its a legal representation of his illegal
activities. Its a bit like hiring a murderer to play a murderer on TV.
Oh wait , they already did with Leslie Grantham.

So he might now go looking for work now he realises he can make money by
doing what he loves, rather than make himself a criminal.

If you are going to post to Usenet then please at least ensure that
the Subject line is not totally misleading . Are you saying that
someone who has commited a crime should never again be employed?
