Po-faced BBC cracks a smile

Stories posted on BBC News Online - even those written by local BBC reporters - almost always stick to the standard BBC formula. Deviation, invention or editorialising is strongly discouraged - and for many, that's the beauty of the site.

But just occasionaly a gem slips through. And we liked this one, from the report on U2's 'surprise rooftop gig' on top of BBC Broadcasting House last night (although any time the BBC wants to stop covering, well, itself, that would be cool...)

Anyway, here's your moment of zen.

Radio 1 also apologised on-air immediately after Bono used an expletive to describe Coldplay's lead singer Chris Martin.

The BBC said it had received no complaints about it.
