BoatyMcBoatface

[colddiesel]

Boaty McBoatface won the Poll by a margin Donald Trump would have envied, and the bloody politicians (Jo Johnson) can't resist the temptation to interfere.

They'll name a rubber ducky Boaty instead, patronising bastards! - It's a friggin' insult to British democracy.

psst ... david attenborough is a better name, to be fair

Honoring the results of a democratic vote would have been fair.

And funny.

Pranking the government's pretty good though and it was done with just the right amount of retarded Brit humour.

David Attenborough is certainly a better name. Democracy is well and good unless some one or a few thousand make a joke of it. Open up renaming cities and countries to internet voting and most of us will live in Pooptown, Boggolania.

They should take the middle ground:

Boaty McAttenborough


That would be nice!

 

[Fata Morgana]

Sums up the world we live in. Full of thick cunts no matter what country you're from. Depressing.

 

[phrodeau]

What would you expect from an organization called "NERC"?

 

[doctor_insanus]

Democracy can be a mixed bag.

The submersible

David Attenboroughy McDavid Attenboroughface

Is to be boaty
But being a sub someone suggested sunny mcsub.

It's David's 90th so we will go along but always in our hearts wewill know the true name.

It doesn't really matter. It just shows that asking the electorate can be a bad idea.

Boaty McBoatface for a ship is not a disaster.

But the US Presidential elections?

The electorate will have to choose between Trumpy McTrumpface and Clinty McClintface or possibly McRumpface and McCuntface. Good luck with that choice.

Sounds like good names for the Bugs Bunny hillbillies.

Quite the cross dresser old Bugs was.

Well MPs will be happy to know that coming 5th means you win.

 

[Christobal]

They can call it whatever they want but to a certain population of the world it will always be boaty mcboatface. I am imagining the ship's command saying over and over again "WE DON'T CALL IT BOATY'

 

[Hard_Rom]

With the attention span of most humans, even those who voted for BoatyMcBoatface will have forgotten all about it 5 min. after the media stops playing it up.

It was a good idea hijacked by trolls, children and jokesters. Hardly a review on the state of British democracy.

Let's open up an idea.

What new name should New York City and the United States of America be called?

This seems like a good time to inject the name Gary Hart and his boat Monkey Business.
For the kiddies, he ran for prez in 84 and 88.
If ya wanna read some funny shit, just read him on wiki.
For the older gang~think he went away?
Nope
In 2014 Obama made him special envoy to Northern Ireland.
Just what. In the fuck does the special envoy to N Ireland do?
He's too old to fuck now.

Gets him out of the country! Maybe Billy's wife should make the Donald the special envoy to Bhutan.

 

[pensivepoet]

Gary Hart was Bill Clinton and Trump combined.
And damn near pulled it off.

Boaty McBoatface has done some important data collection in the study of deep ocean mixing.

Sounds like it.
