Of Mice And Men

With Sky News and CNN focussing on the siege of Mosul, increasing sectarian violence in the Middle East and the security services monitoring facebook, it’s the BBC that had the Big Story with The Return of Dangermouse.

This will never happen today as Danger Mouse is too white and Penfold isn't black enough. He'll have to change his name to Danga mouse too...

OK, what do I think of Danger Mouse returning? Pants.

Now that I have addressed the subject matter, hopefully my posting won't get censored out (sorry, moderated for being off-topic!)

GIVE US PROPER HYS TOPICS!

Proper topics? I’ll tell you this much: if we tolerate the PCing of Dangermouse, then what will be next?
