Well, I laughed.

Come on, it's too good to be a nil thread, people.

Well, 'tits' seems to be the operative word involved in the origin of this thread, so Mr. James was more or less near the mark (or the knuckle).

I didn't laugh. I was intrigued as to whether an inquiry was launched to find the culprit who deigned to cross the BBC mark of taste. There are funnier headlines accidentally created every week. I wish I had examples to show.
