#1 The real clue was when Finisterra concluded the interview with "Bababooey"...

#4 Back in 1990, NBC ran an interview with a supposed Marine reservist who had turned consciencious objector and refused service in Desert Shield. The alleged deserter made a standard peacenik speech for the accommodating talking heads, with grave nods of approval from Bryant "flying saucer" Gumbel in particular.
The name he gave? Eric Blair (George Orwell's real name).

I am fond of saying that Joseph Goebbels invented the activist media. This is not hyperbole, exaggeration, or useless invective, it is the sober and obvious truth. Thanks to the internet, millions are becoming aware of it. The MSM criminal culture is living on borrowed time.

#5 It is a bitter irony that, in former times, the BBC itself was the instigator, rather than the credulous victim, of what many consider the greatest journalistic hoax of all time, the Swiss Spaghetti Harvest documentary of 1957.

(Swiss worker harvesting spaghetti, from BBC Panorama, April 1, 1957)

#6 Oh boy, AC. That link explains a lot. DAMN THE BBC!!! DAMN THEM TO HELL!!!!

"Did spaghetti really grow on trees, they wanted to know. Others were eager to learn how they could grow their own spaghetti tree. To this the BBC reportedly replied that they should 'place a sprig of spaghetti in a tin of tomato sauce and hope for the best.'"

So all those hours in all those years spent blending purees and mixing in different ratios of sand and perlite were wasted?! Mamma mia! Wait till I tell the neighbours. Hey, maybe my Italian friends will finally stop sniggering at me.

#8 Tim Blair says if you want to be a little creative, you can translate Jude Finisterra as
"Jew land finished"
