Boaty McBoatface is DEAD

Halle-FUCKING-lujah

From BBC

And any asshole who whines, needs to be beaten to death with an axe from the Sir David. It was a fucking retard idea from the beginning. All it proved, is that there are way too fucking many people who should be in mental institutions who have access to the net

I heard that... I also heard they are going to call the remote controlled research sub associated with the ship Boaty McBoatface as a compromise to the chattering classes.

I heard that... I also heard they are going to call the remote controlled research sub associated with the ship Boaty McBoatface as a compromise to the chattering classes.

According to that article, there is also a suggestion of "Subby McSubface" on social media.

They should just pause quietly, then use whoever came up with the 'compromise' and use them as a fucking sledge-o-matic

Using retards to name multi-million dollar equipment and ships, that will be used for DECADES is not cute, or funny. It's fucking RETARDED. Frankly, no professional mariner would work on something THAT fucking stupid. Sure, use that every fucking time you have to call VTS? Find some other drooling fucking halfwit

As far as the 'chattering classes' ? We need a world war to fucking kill off a few hundred million and burn away the STUPID

Reading about a famous Italian economist who was intercepted by airport security because a thong-wearing (you'd say 'flip flops') idiot conflated 'terrorism' with 'a dark-skinned man doing mathematics on pen and paper' got my own gall this week.

Without getting into a big discussion about it, suffice to say the seeming inability to distinguish between equality and equity has well and truly gone too far.

- Got your answers to your rhetorical questions Villein.
