Fork Crime by DOODAH PING & SOSSY YMK

Another sneak preview from the forthcoming Christmas release, "A WhiteX Xmas", with Doodah on lead vocals and Sossy on funky guitar. Based on a true story, the song relates how a fight over an insult to a rudely shaped vegetable caused the death of 28 people, the break-up of 21 marriages, the orphaning of 321 children, and a run on a leading high street bank and lendor. Esther Rantzen was obliged to issue an apology for showing the vegetable on national TV, although she maintained her innocence on the sensitivity of the subject, claiming she was unaware that the vegetable didn't belong to the person who took the photo. She was suspended for three months, after the entire readership of the Daly Male wrote to decry the fall in journalistic standards at the BBC. "There was a time when a journalist would check his sources, but the BBC researcher was happy to accept the word of the person who sent in the photo without a home visit to the allotment and DNA sampling to check the authenticity of the claim." David Cameron promised that the incoming Conservative government would act decisively to root out this problem, accusing Gordon Brown of dithering when he set up a Royal Commission on Ill-Shaped Vegetables to report on the issue in the spring of next year, saying that this problem required urgent attention. Vince Cable of the LibDems observed that he had predicted a crisis on "vegetable shaped issues" over a year previously. Alex Salmond pointed out that the Scottish Parliament had legislated on the issue in 2006; whilst Rhodri Morgan claimed that this had never been a problem in Wales, since the leak was adopted as its national emblem.
