1060 - Charlie Brooker

I had never heard of Charlie Brooker before. He's an English smarty pants that's pretty funny. This first video is about news stories. What kind of news stories? All of them. You can take this format and have an instant professional news story.



And then here's Charlie taking more pot shots at the US media. (mostly the right wing nut jobs) It's good to see how other countrys' comedians see us.

Yeah, he's pretty much got the basic template that all local news follows. The only thing he left out was that they repeat the same stories year after year. Like "School is back in session so watch out for kids walking to school and the buss." You'd think they would just run the same video each year, but no, they send someone out to remake it year after year.

That was pretty funny.

There is a channel here that I imagine lets wannabe designers showcase their designs on the newsreaders each night....we always have a good time trying to work out the inspiration behind each outfit. I must try to capture some of those images....would make a good blog post.

These are really excellent. I'm so pleased that other countries can form their opinions of us based on dumbasses like Beck and O'Reilly...
