Sometimes the guys on BBC WS Newsday crack me up.

Newsday is a news magazine programme on BBC World Service aimed at an African audience. Most people who get BBC World Service overnight on a public radio station will generally be listening to Newsday.

I can't remember if it was Nkem Ifejika or Alan Kasujja (sounded more like Alan) ... but he was introducing a piece on the present US HUD Secretary's recent ramblings on slavery... and he referred to him as "Benny Carson". I'm quite positive it was an unintentional misreading of his name but just the mis-naming cracked me up.

But then in my opinion Benny Hill would make a better US HUD Secretary than "Benny" Carson.
