BBC vs CNN

Zimbabweans are good at acronyms. They have a high IQ, they say (I - queue, get it?).

News-related acronyms are popular. Not long ago, Zimbabweans admitted ruefully that many of their absent relatives were BBC workers (British Backside Cleaners). The latest acronym I've just seen is a CNN relationship - Condom Not Needed.*

(*of course, generally it is, says the Manica Post's Blabbermouth columnist)
