Journalism 101 from across the pond

Bringing up "Oprah" is not completely random: the talk-show queen has just launched a campaign to rein in rappers in the aftermath of a controversy that saw white radio host Don Imus sacked after calling the members of a black women's championship volleyball team "nappy-headed hos" on air.

Wait, what? Hey, don't drag us into that whole Imus debacle. We're over here minding our own business running beach volleyball tournaments on the side. But I guess simple details such as the type of team Imus bad-mouthed can get lost alllll the way across the Atlantic Ocean. It's not like you couldn't Google "Imus+nappy" and get the correct team in around 3.4 seconds.
