GET RID OF THE BLOODY DOG!
 
Complaint to the BBC and to the Torchwood production team.

BBC3 has become totally unwatchable because of the hideous gigantic new
bright purple and white DOG which has been inflicted on viewers with no
consideration given whatsoever to the damage it will cause to their Plasma,
CRT's, OLED and even LCD screens because of burn in, or to their eyes for
the same reason.

On tuning in to watch the new episode of Torchwood the DOG was made even
worse and more offensive by having the word "new" written under it, as if I
was so stupid that I didn't know that they were showing a new episode, like
I wouldn't have known if I had not seen it before and despite the fact that
BBC2 had already announced that it was a new episode to begin with.

No only does the DOG unnecessarily take up a quarter of the screen because
it is so huge, but it has been placed towards the middle of the image and is
lit up so bright at maximum intensity that it is as obtrusive as it could
possibly be.

The only way I could watch Torchwood without being distracted or half
blinded during parts of the episode when it was dark which was 95% of the
time, was to cover up the DOG with silver foil and even then the DOG was so
bright that it shone past the edges of the foil to a radius of one
centimetre in all directions, causing even more damage to the phosphor on my
TV.

I DEMAND that the DOG is removed from all BBC3 programmes immediately
otherwise I will not watch BBC3 ever again, just like have never watched
FiveLife or FiveUS since they started because the gigantic DOGs are so
offensive.

I am fed up of having my intelligence insulted by the BBC and other
broadcasters since I know what channel I have tuned into and can always find
out the name of the channel that's on at any time by pressing the info or
EPG button on my remote control.

Do not bother replying to this complaint with another copy of your insulting
standard reply letter which does not address any of the issues I have raised
otherwise I will complain again, and will take legal action against the BBC
for the damage the DOG is causing to the phosphor on my TV and to my LCD
display.

You and your demands! No kissing. No reference to homosexuality. No ugly
women on TV. No DOGs (presumably a cat would be OK though).

Do you think anyone would care if you never watched BBC3 again? As you seem
to suffer from terminal stupidity, I'll provide you with the answer: No.

No-one can find any evidence you have any intelligence to be insulted...

You've been complaining all this time about homosexuality, and too
much kissing, bestiality, and other bits of immorality, and now it's
the dog that's making BBC3 totally unwatchable?

as if I was so stupid that I didn't know that they were showing a new episode,


Well ...

For something that's totally unwatchable for any of several different
reasons you've mentioned, you sure do go through a lot of effort to
watch it. Especially since you can be pretty certain that there's
going to be other stuff on the show that's going to offend you too.
Putting tin foil on your TV screen? That's almost as bad as going back
and spending the time to remove a few second kiss from the episode
with your video editor.

Why don't you wrap the tin foil around your eyes instead? Or better
yet, go take a bath, and listen to your radio while holding it in your
lap.

I DEMAND that the DOG is removed from all BBC3 programmes immediately
otherwise I will not watch BBC3 ever again,


Oh, please please please, don't let this be an idle threat!

I am fed up of having my intelligence insulted by the BBC and other

Then stop watching. Duh! TV is made for the masses and for the lowest
common denominator. Of course it's going to insult your intelligence.
Why not go read a good book instead?

standard reply letter which does not address any of the issues I have raised

Stop! or I'll tell you stop again! lol ha ha ha ha

I love you Agememnon. You're way more entertaining sometimes than TV :)

Just sent this:

"Dear BBC, There seems to be a technical fault with my Freeview
receiver. For some reason, since Tuesday, an ugly purple thing has
appeared on the top left hand corner of my TV. It's so large that my
eyes keep moving towards it while watching programmes. It only seems
to affect BBC Three - as when I go to BBC Four, it disappears and is
replaced by a nice, semitransparent logo. I have contacted my freeview
box manufacturer, but they say it isnt their fault, and that it
probably is a technical fault with the BBC Three channel. Could you
kindly offer a solution, as it is most distracting and interferes with
my enjoyment of the channel. The last thing anyone wants is an ugly
pruple thing in the corner of their telly!"

Your life must be so SMALL that you complain about things like that.
FFS Aggy, get used to it. I didn't even notice it after the first
minute or so.

LOL! They'll have a RIGHT LAUGH at you when they get that letter.
It'll go straight in the BBC Nutter File where it belongs.

You have a great talent for making yourself look stupid, and, even
better, you alert others to how stupid you are! Hilarious. Thanks for
the entertainment.

True enough. However, I did find the BBC3 DOG annoying as well. Not enough
to complain to the BBC about it mind you. But it is one of the reasons I
buy any TV shows I like on DVD, so I can watch episodes without the
onscreen 'clutter'. Maybe that's why the TV companies do it... so they can
sell more DVDs?

I don't think there's any danger to eyes or mind. But the dayglo pink IS
annoying.

It doesn't take up a quarter of the screen. But it is annoying.

Or you could just wait until Wednesday next and watch it on the dogless
BBC2.

No, that's our job. :)

Still it is annoying. But I can wait until next week. If a really huge
amount of people complain, they may tone it down (I gather it's only started
this week). If they don't - well, don't watch it.

I kept noticing it, so I switched off. I'll catch it on BBC2 next week. No
great loss.

The logo's horrible, intrusive and looks to have been designed by a
small child, but it's still not something to get worked up about. Calm
down, Aggy, the nurses will be in to give you your medication shortly.
