But, apparently, Stephen Fry calling someone "lucky" is not acceptable.
There's too little honesty in this world.

What's
the Stephen Fry and 'lucky' thing about? I've just had a google and I can find nothing.

There was a bit on QI
Where they discussed a man who had survived both atomic bombings. The panel, led by Fry, were speculating as to whether he was the luckiest or unluckiest man in the world. The Japanese were not very happy, and Fry cancelled a filming trip to Japan because of it, as well as apologising for "making light of an horrific incident".

that's nasty
but unfortunate proof that there's nothing too evil or degraded that one person won't do to another.

Yeah.
I just read the Wikipedia page about it. F***ing horrific!

me too
how the Allies handled it after it particulary shocking. There is a tiny tiny part of me that thinks that as the work was already done it would be silly to let it go to waste, but the other 99% is screaming 'how the chuntering fuck could these monsters be let off?!?'.

It beggars belief. As horrifying as in the films, but the bad guys get away with it.

aha! I know this one! Stealing German scientists after the war. Nothing wrong with that, surely? To google! .....
Hmmmmm, again not ideal, but not quite so reprehensible I reckon. It seems that they papered over unpleasant details (like Nazi Party membership, which may have been cynically motivated anyway) in the general picture, as opposed to their work. I'm sure some utter arseholes got away, but to me it seems more like risking letting some bad'uns through to get mostly okay people, rather than cynically letting monsters go to get hold of their results.

I may have missed details, just skimmed through the wiki article, so please correct me if I have.

I was briefly toying with the idea of doing something about Silvio Berlusconi
quick google image search, just his name, no other terms, and the first page throws up a picture of him getting a scared-looking underling to feel his bicep as he tenses it. Perfect! Click.

Then security essentials goes apeshit, and all thoughts of creepy italian premiers go out the window.
