Guest guest Posted May 15, 2002 Report Share Posted May 15, 2002 http://www.ananova.com/yournews/story/sm_587131.html BBC withdraws dog meat comments from website The BBC has removed a joke about South Koreans eating dog meat from a World Cup website. The joke was part of a Radio 5 Live travel guide offering tips to England football fans. It read: " Over here a dog is for Christmas, over there it could be for breakfast, lunch or dinner. " The Daily Mail reports the comment was removed after complaints it was tasteless and offensive. The BBC has apologised, saying it was simply a misunderstanding. A spokesman added: " There was never meant to be anything offensive about the comments. " Football fans visiting the World Cup in South Korea will be offered dog meat soup, sandwiches and burgers. Restaurateurs say free taster stalls will help dispel western prejudices about their cuisine. Story filed: 08:45 Tuesday 14th May 2002 LAUNCH - Your Music Experience http://launch.
