Television - News - BBC defends disabled presenter - Digital Spy

 

The BBC has defended disabled presenter Cerrie Burnell after some parents claimed that she is "scaring" their children.

 

CBeebies controller Michael Carrington described Burnell, who was born with one arm, as "warm and natural", adding that her disability should not be an issue.

 

"She was appointed because she was the best person for the job. We see no reason for her to try to hide her disability and are surprised that in 2009 this should even be raised as an issue," said a BBC spokesperson.

 

Burnell revealed that she hopes her disability can be used to raise awareness. "It can only be a good thing that parents are using me as a chance to talk disability with their children," she said.

 

"It just goes to show how important it is to have positive disabled role models on CBeebies and television in general."

 

NOT SAFE FOR.... children apparently...

 

[hamstrung]

She's 'armless enough

[odris]

I would give my right arm to sleep with her, she looks like she would be absolute filth in bed.

[Nick Leeson]

Hands up who wants to see that shit on TV?

[odris]

How are kids ever going to learn to count though? She can only count to five herself, no hope for the future.

[dirty_sanchez]

I'm stumped as to why you all think this is funny.

[Cosmos]

Where's the cut off point though?

[Nick Leeson]

It's arlarse but it can't be helped; the jokes are just irrewristable.

[Cath]

This little piggie went to market.

[Carradona]

No even worth a right handed wank, never mind a left handed one.

[odris]

Thou shall not pass! Unless you do a hand stand for your grandad.

[Nick Leeson]

At least they havent got her doing the sign language for the deaf kids. That shit could get confusing for them.

[odris]

She doesn't even have to splash out for a dildo, sweet.

[dirty_sanchez]

I think she's faking it. She's just tucked the arm behind her back.

 

I bet Paul McCartney is tenting at the thought of her though.

[She Knows It]

How can they say she's scary, yet those kids on 'Something Special' aren't?

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Ha ha your all a bunch of dirty, dirty bastards.

[torahboy]

Can she hear the sound of one hand clapping?

[Paulie Dangerously]

Where's the cut off point though?

 

Below the shoulder

[Section_31]

The BBC really are a shower of shit, their right hand doesn't know what their left hand's doing half the time.

[RJ Fan club]

What's wrong with her? I can't put my finger on it.

 

Come on, lend a man a hand.

[ISeeRed]

Does she pay half price when she gets her nails done?

[Melchett]

Abu Hamza, Heather Mills.... no wonder no one likes amputees any more.....

[RJ Fan club]

Abu Hamza, Heather Mills.... no wonder no one likes amputees any more.....

 

One hand its a hindrance, on the other its perfectly normal.

[WaltonRed]

Jokes aside, if you complain about this you really are an uber-cunt and they should be ashamed of themselves.

[Alan Sex]

I'd love to see her fist herself while leaning against the wall. She'd have to use her nose for balance.
