Akala is amazing

BBC is awesome. Here’s Akala’s answer to is Frankie Boyle’s question “is Britain racist to the core?” on FB’s Election Autospy (Starts at 7 minutes 13 seconds):

Upper class white men treating women like objects of fancy? Who knew?

I think everyone would be happier and more sexually satisfied if we were honest with each other about what we want and don't want

Oh fuck off.

Wow. What a one-sided article. The vote spam is actually about ethics in games journalism.

OK. She should not have flown, this was a failure on the part of the CDC in a humiliating and frightening fashion. Hindsight 20/20 and all that. But some of this is just blatantly contradicting the facts.

This mess isn't British pub culture either. *shrug*

What the what??!? Am I not getting a joke? (That is not a rhetorical question!)

What in the fresh hell did I just read?
