That's not who I was thinking of, but it prompted me to do a little digging and I found who I meant.

Ah yes, the CBB 'racism' row, where Jade didn't say anything racist. Not a Beeb show though, but I agree that was probably the when the odd complaint/non story became national news, no, scratch that, obssession.
I wouldn't mind if these people were upset or offended if it wasn't that they are prompted to do so. Much like the Diana hysteria, it starts off with the genuine (whether you agree with or not, at least it's real) but then snowballs into all those looking to be offended or those who have an axe to grind. It ends up being a competition. That's when I have a problem with it. That, and the organised complaints, as with the Springer Opera showing.
