Virgin BBC, I mean Virgin Media

I didn’t realise the credit crunch was hitting Virgin Media that hard until I went on their new site. I had a double take when the page loaded and I was met with what is essentially a red version of the BBC homepage. Whilst the site does look good it certainly won’t become my news and entertainment portal of choice. It offers nothing we haven’t seen a thousand times before.
It’s fair to say that the BBC has always been a benchmark for good web practice and BBC type elements are common place across the internet but none as blatant as this! After a suggestions by @ojwestmancott I had a quick look at the source to check they there were no references to the BBC!
Hopefully Virgin Media will pass on the money they have saved back to us the humble broadband customers!
