Well as funny as it may be, I find it very disappointing that the BBC acknowledge that people like this are actually permitted to exist, and above and beyond that they give their stereotypes screen-time. Given that they are after all a 'public service' perhaps they should 'serve the public' by not providing examples of such truly revolting and digsusting aspects of society that are permitted to exist for... well, who knows.

Yes, I know it's a comedy. It's still like going to the zoo and watching the monkeys fling their shit about and pointing and laughing. Set an example, dammit.

We need Vicky to work our call center in Chennai, India. Her approach to spoken English would let customers better appreciate the status quo ;^)
