Virgin Media being part of the media, and presumably providing what people want to see on it's Homepage, must leave even you wondering if education has failed the masses... case in point, today's top story on the Homepage “Simon Cowell will be back on Britain's Got Talent as a judge, but who's going to join him?”, give me strength.
