THE BROKEN STRING
XXX RATED
LONDON, ENGLAND  Phone lines at the BBC were bombarded with complaints from irate viewers after a wild French Open trophy presentation ceremony, where men's singles victor and off-color lothario Novak Djokovic made out with the Coupe des Mousquetaires for a full 30 seconds before the network was able to cut to commercial.

Other broadcasters carrying the live feed from Roland Garros reported receiving a similar wave of calls from disgusted tennis fans, casual viewers, and government censors alike—leading several networks to vow to never carry a match featuring the Serbian again.

"The BBC sincerely apologizes for the shocking scenes during last weekend's French Open trophy presentation," read a statement from the BBC press office. "Like many of you, we were caught completely off guard by Mr. Djokovic's bizarre behavior and were unable to process what was happening before our eyes."

"Rest assured, all of Mr. Djokovic's future matches—including those at this year's Wimbledon—will be aired on a tape delay to avoid any potentially offensive scenes being broadcast to the public."

Family groups in the United Kingdom were quick to react to the on air make out session, strongly condemning Djokovic for his attraction to an inanimate object and the French Open for designing a trophy a player could find irresistibly attractive. Many urged Djokovic to simply retire so he could spend more time with his trophies.

"Frankly, this whole situation is an outrage," declared Dr. Bertrand Smith of the Fraternal Union of Concerned Kinesiotherapists. "Where is the push back from the ATP Tour? They just keep rolling over and letting him get his hands on these poor, defenseless cups."

"All of these tour players need to step up their game to make sure he can't have his way with any more silverware."
