The British Potato Council are protesting about the phrase "couch
potato". They have requested that the phrase be removed from the
Oxford English Dictionary, and are promoting the phrase "Couch slouch"
instead. A spokesman for the OED, somewhat baffled, explained that the
dictionary reflects language in current use - not the other way round.
The potato council are to protest outside parliament on Monday.

Next, we will hear from the Couch Manufacturer's Association.
