				 I'm not a big letter-writing campaign person, but a line has been crossed when the BBC starts taking away cute knitted dolls that look like <em>Doctor Who</em> monsters. Apparently some kind of copyright nonsense inspired a wanker at BBC legal to force the nice knitter at <a href="http://www.mazzmatazz.co.uk/index.php?page=adipose">Mazzmatazz</a> to remove all the cool patterns posted there for people who wanted to make plush animals out of the Ood (at left) and several others. Let remind you that the Ood are born with their brains in their hands, sing psychically, and have already been oppressed enough by humans. Now I am deprived of these cute yarn monsters and I am angry. Please <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/complaints/">write to the BBC and complain</a>. The cruelty must stop!
