There was a show years ago called "Not The Nine O'Clock News" that was broadcast on the BBC. It was a comedy show that was REALLY heavy on satire, both about the government of the day, and British society in general.

One of the sketches was a news report about a disaster (I think it was a plane crash?) and it started "A plane has crashed in the Mediterranean Ocean, and here is a list of the casualties in order of important -- three Britons, two Americans, three French, seven Spanish, four Australians......" and well you get the idea.

Does it really surprise you that forty years later not much has changed?
