I just came across this joke, and while not specifically aimed at the BBC it might just as well be.
A guy in Paris saw a pit bull attacking a toddler.
He killed the pit bull and saved the child's life.
Reporters swarmed the fellow.
"Tell us! What's your name? All Paris will love you! Tomorrow's headline will be: "Parisian Hero Saves Girl from Vicious Dog!"
The guy says, "But I'm not from Paris.
"Reporters: "That's OK. Then the whole of France will love you and
tomorrow's headline will read: 'French Hero Saves Girl from Vicious Dog!'"
The guy says, "I'm not from France, either."
Reporters: "That's OK also. All Europe will love you. Tomorrow's
headlines will shout: 'European Hero Saves Girl from Vicious Dog!'"
The guy says, "I'm not from Europe, either.
"Reporters: "So, where ARE you from?
The guy says, "I'm from Israel.
"Reporters: "OK. Then tomorrow's headlines will proclaim to the world:
'Israeli Kills Girl's Dog!'"
