Take this horrific possibility, for example. Here's a very, very well-done spoof that's been getting a bunch of mortified laughs that, curiously, sound an awful lot like the noise people make as you stab them and twist a knife.

The cleverly spoofed article, which I read over on iWire, explains how Mr. Campbell will be assuming his role as the new director general of the BBC, now that Greg Dyke will be leaving.

Greg Dyke's profile on the BBC sitehas already been updated to reflect his status as "former" Director General; It does him no justice, however - he's a very extra-ordinarily charistmatic "ordinary guy", and brought a very down-to-earth attitude to his job at the BBC. A hard act to follow, to say the least.

With Greg no longer at the wheel, one can only hope that the goals of a small team of people inside the BBC, Mr. Creative Commons and the man behind the Internet Archive to create a 'Creative Archive' - a digital repository, for the people whom the BBC serves, of everything the BBC has created with their licensing money - an idea that Mr. Dyke had already quietly announced support for, a move which very much needed the momentum and continuity of a stable and strong BBC, a move which could revolutionise media worldwide. Open source media - on a Creative Commons license.

Let's hope that some things don't change under new management. And if you're like me, let's hope that none of them do. As the old saying goes, the BBC needs a shake-up like it needs a hole in the head; unfortunately for the people of Britain, the Government of the day seems desperate to provide it with both.
