The BBC Joke About Afghanistan - In Bad Taste

Now I know one needs to tread carefully about this topic but my own view, as stated before on this Blog, is that we will lose and that unfortunately many young men are dying needlessly to satisfy America's blood lust after the Twin Towers disaster.
As regards comedy the BBC has recently been adopting a politically correct stance towards comedy in fear of offending anyone. The result has been a series of very unfunny stories about families or couples with only the slightest hint of innuendo. Such a series is, "The Old Guys" about a couple of hetrosexual men who fancy the middle aged bit of stuff (played by Jane Asher) from over the road. Imagine my surprise then the other evening when the three central characters were discussing the cost of a wedding. I can't remember the character who Asher is playing but she came out with the line, "Don't worry about the money I have a nestegg. It was in tobacco but fortunately I switched it to arms just before the first gulf war. So let's just say somebody's winning in Afghanistan".
 Now I am not a sensitive soul but his seemed to be a joke in terribly bad taste considering the slaughter that is going on there. I will not complain to the BBC as they either don't reply or take ages to do so. If you a lucky enough to get a response it se it will be along the lines that in the context they did not consider it out of place. Well sorry BBC this was the wrong programme, the wrong time the wrong context and a very sick joke.
