The comments on these kind of articles, on sites like the BBC's, are always a hilarious mix of misinformation, outrage and usually blame shifting away from personal responsibility. Well, it's hilarious until you come to the realisation that these may be the so called "regular" people and this may actually be how the majority thinks (not a whole lot, it turns out).
