Had a quick look through this part of their site today, funny to see some of the stuff people compalin about.

The advert for Wimbledon being 'too violent' this year.

And some people were offended by comments on the collapse of Rover on Have I Got News For You.

Some people need a sense of humour

This has to be best though:

Racism
Radio 1 website
Complaint

The Chair of the British Committee on Romani emancipation complained about a link on a Radio 1 webpage to a session track called “Gyppo kids ate my hamster”, on the grounds that the term “Gyppo” was offensive and pejorative.

I’m surprised this thread has not been terminated.

The racist terminology of Gyppos is as defamatory to gypsies as nigger would be to black people.

Administrators, over to you.

i like the link enitled "What is a complaint?" the answer to that from me: people who have to much time on there hands and wish to keep the flow of hand written letters with the line "i hate to make a fuss but.."

a link to a complaint :http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/news/2005/06/21/19368.shml

In response to further feedback about how wind information is represented in our television weather forecasts, we have made an additional change to our forecasting graphics and introduced new wind speed and direction symbols

one or two people think the icon used for wind is confusing. What shall we use for people to understand and nice curry and a man farting into north Lincon ?!

Given the above comments. You’re either an uneducated fool or racist kinda guy.

Now, be big and clever and show the public your power when someone slags you off.

i do rather like cheese personally and it annoys me how supermarket frozen pizzas never have enough cheese on so i have to grate up some of my own to put on it.

FURTHERMORE, why is meat from chickens called chicken but meat from cows is called beef???

I heard that the BBC have received hundreds of complaints for "Bring Your Husband to Heel". Too right, the double standards of sexism on tv never fail to amaze me.
