The BBC’s coverage of Kanye West at Glastonbury last night kept us entertained, and it was nothing to do with his performance.
Whoever had the job of updating the Beeb’s subtitles had their work cut out for them, given Kanye’s liberal use of the Devil’s tongue throughout his set.
Well, give these lads and/or ladies a payrise. They came up trumps.
Oh, BBC2 and your subtitling. Bless. #glastonbury #kanye #bless #motherducker pic.twitter.com/GC6X0mSGqu

Subtitles still refusing to acknowledge what Kanye West is actually singing.#Glastonbury pic.twitter.com/lQhe79h2OE

They eventually gave up even trying, and it made the whole thing better again.

This, in particular, is the stuff of comic gold.

Apparently, he raps.
Meanwhile at #Glastonbury the subtitle department of the BBC have called it a day. pic.twitter.com/saNMRUbWyO
