NEW PRESS HORROR! Mumsnet quoted txt-spking in the Sun

[morningpaper]

(OK this is a week old article but still)

A typical Mumsnet thread reads: "Why do I fancy Justin so much?"

Now I do not mind us being gently ribbed for having sexual thoughts about Mr Tumble, but THIS, my friends, is not acceptable:

"Debate moves to his Something Special slapstick alter-ego Mr Tumble, a clown who uses Makaton sign language to communicate with kids with learning difficulties: "He?s so lovely am i mad lol im gettin obsessed i even watch cbeebies wen im on my own"."

OK Who is responsible for this? We sound like a ghastly Private Eye pastiche. This must STOP before we are swamped with pram-swapping huns and txt-spking numpties.

We must fight this tide of nonsense!

Come on, we are FAAAR too much for playboy readers to handle!!

MP you are about five years to late, the dross and the huns are here and we just have to get on with it.

hmmmmmmmm the thread is recently resurrected and then suddenly and article appears in the sun??

does it take shelock holmes

A MN search doesn't bring up anything with that phrase in it, though. Could the Sun be making it up?

(well, it brings up THIS thread, obviously...)

(and the stuff that IS on that thread is quite embarassing enough)

Never mind all this - there are people on Mumsnet who fancy Mr Tumble.

And are admitting it in public.

For the love of God, step away from CBeebies and watch something - anything - else.

Although I'm thinking Spooks Adam or something, not Spongebob Squarepants, obviously.
