TIAN TIAN MAKES BBC's LIST…….and she is a PANDA!


The BBC is making headlines this time again…what for? They have decided to choose a Panda named Tian Tian (Sweetie) as one of its female faces of the year!...oh yeah…exactly as you see it. A panda! Does it mean no other woman fit? Some things are just outrageous, funny and makes you wonder…. Tian  Tian a female panda arrived at the Edinburgh zoon on loan from China earlier in the year with huge publicity. That decision has provoked angry tweets. Some of the tweets read;


“So the BBC couldn’t find a woman for Sports Personality of the year, but they could find a panda for female face of 2011” Former Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott

“No offence to Sweetie---su5re a lovely panda and best in the class etc----but clue is in the title ‘women’ not  ‘female of the species’ of the year. Labour MP Stella Creasy

What’s more? BBC has been criticised because a quarter of the female faces this year were chosen because of their involvement in marriages. You guessed right….Pippa Middleton (it helps when The Royal Family is your in-law), South African Charlene Wittstock who married Prince Albert of Monaco and Spanish Billionaire the Duchess of Alba 85, who tied the knot with a civil servant 24 years her junior. This is not the first time an animal make the list for doing nothing…

In 2009, Benson the Carp, a giant fish was August’s entry on the male list and Last year Peppa the pig was on the female list.  Being popular works more….how can an animal possibly be of more value than a human being?
