This read was rather amusing.
This makes me slightly mad that "Pillar of Autumn" isn't winning XD
Best part is, probably nobody involved with the actual ship would even get the reference, so they'd name it that obliviously.

And the London Press continues its drive to the gutter of all human thought.
Some suggestions will be silly or negative. Most are constructive and positive.
But Londoners it seems like to be continually reminded how terrible the world is.
Living is such a spacious, clean, fresh smelling, friendly and honest city where absolutely no-one is obsessed with the war, the Beatles or the Queen and you don't ever feel the need to look behind you or worry that a policeman is going to push you against a wall. Poor things.

Actually,I saw this article on the CBS website...The only reason i shared the metro link was because it listed the other candidates.
Whatever your issues with London are..and you clearly have plenty,this article has nothing to do with them.

I have no issue with London. I'm sure its as bad as anywhere else.
I do have issues with press that seems to seek to twist every piece of information negatively. And since this is one of the London press efforts, London came to mind.
The call was for suggestions. The name which will be chosen will be at the discretion of the owners: The Natural Environment Research Council.
metro leads with the headline: £200m ship could get ridiculous name as joke suggestion leads online poll
It isn't a poll. There is no chance the boat will get any name other than the one which the owners choose.
A non-story, wrapped in a non-story.
