Rod Begbie : Charlie Brooker: These days, I assume that everything I do is probed and examined by omnipotent corporations - "The way things are going, I half-expect to hear a quiet electric "peep" noise each time I flush the toilet; another bowel movement logged by Bumland Security." [via] #

plasticbag : Not safe for some workplaces: Late night potty mouth and all-round entertaining individual Charlie Brooker takes a look at the 'Ten Biggest Cocks in UK Advertising' - Sent to me by my younger brother and possibly rather beyond the standard acceptable threshold for some offices, exemplifying as it does the very best swears in contemporary UK usage applied vigorously and often to adverts...

plasticbag : Another appalling Charlie Brooker video that you absolutely should not watch: 10 biggest Cocks and she cocks in advertising - Actually there are bits where you do shift a little uncomfortably, even if—like me—you just think swearing is funny and cool. My mother would be appalled. I'm like Dexter only with bad words instead of murdering people.

Rod Begbie : 'Oh good, it's raining again' | Glastonbury 2007 | Guardian Unlimited Music - Quality grumpiness from Charlie Brooker. "The pop-up a tent was a joy. It comes flat, disc-shaped. You throw it in the air and it unfurls into a canvas shell. Within seconds I was the proud owner of a home fit for a tramp." [via] #

plasticbag : Charlie Brooker talks about the Mitchell and Webb Apple adverts - And while of course I love my Mac and am comfortable that its *nix underbelly is fully nerdcore and not merely design wankery, I have to admit that I agree that Mitchell and Webb are sort of the wrong way around...

philgyford : Guardian Unlimited | Comment is free | Supposing ... Subversive genius Banksy is actually rubbish - I do like Banksy's images, but I hate how people fawn over his criminal and not-really-political acts. (via Blech)

Rod Begbie : Guardian Unlimited | Supposing . . . It's OK to lie for the sheer hell of it - "Get angry if they don't believe you. They will eventually. They always do." [via] #
plasticbag : Charlie Brooker on lying just for the hell of it... - You see, I sort of get this, but I'm afraid I'm a bit old fashioned. I don't think that smiling to people you're not so keen on counts as lying, and I think people who play tricks on other people are sort of self-inflated arseholes, really. Sorry. No fun,

plasticbag : Charlie Brooker compensates for all the positive reviews of King Kong with a critique of its hyperbolae... - "His bowels emptied, Kong plucks the planet Jupiter out of the sky and swallows it for no reason, while fighting 15 giant crocodiles. And a robot. And a pig." Great review. Even if you disagree.
