Oh no. How will I gain updates on worthy news headlines, such as, "Chicken-Licking Asda Worker Caught On Video"?

Shocked

Is food hygiene not something that concerns you then?

Its not a story about "food hygiene", its a story of a disgruntled nutter in one branch of Asda two years ago.

Breaking news my arse.

It's on the BBC news website also:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/lancashire/8257647.stm

And is the 6th most read story in fact.

10th, actually - but its certainly not the "top story" as Skynews.com have it.

It was 6th, but has shuffled down to 10th in the latest update. It's not the top story on SkyNews.com but rather one of the "latest stories."

I'll be honest, I really don't care.

I only clicked on to see if the site was still down, and was greeted with the video of a man opening the wrapper of a chicken, licking it, then tossing it back onto the shelf.

Any numbskull could see it had been opened, so it was VERY unlikely to be sold.

Just seemed a non-story (given its age), but was being put to the top of the list because of the associated video clip.

Seemed uber lame to me - but I don't watch Sky news so it makes no odds.

So why are you looking and commenting in a Sky News thread then? Its like I don't like that bar but will go in it anyway and complain about the drinks.

Go back to your BBC.
