Brass Eye, Funny or Very Funny

Anything that upsets the Daily Mail has to be good. Anything that starts with Gary Lineker holding a picyure with a child on it explaining that a peodophole would attack it because that's what peodophiles do is OK by me.

It took the newspapers 12 years to work out Viz was taking the piss, it only took them 5 years this time.

Very Funny.

A fantastic, challenging, witty and poignant episode IMHO. Well done CH4 for having the guts to show it.

Never saw it, but wor lass reckoned it was distasteful and unfunny. What gets me is that 2,500 complaints can get the government to think about changing legislation - 25,000+ people on the streets get their heads kicked in. Hmmmm

Brill, laughed mesel' silly. Excellent stuff. We need this kind of pushing-the-boundaries type stuff. BBC2 used to do it well, but Auntie have become so scared in the past few years that we never see anything shocking any more. More power to their elbows at C4....

I heard there'd been more calls of support than there had been of complaint....doubtless the whingers will still get their way...

I thought it was OK but in fact it was so predictable that the rabble rousing tabloids would get the wrong end of the stick, I'm amazed they showed it. The self-righteousness of the tabs gets on my t*t ends: have they forgotten that they set a mob of Mancunians off on a Paediatrician hunt last year?

I thought hunting with dogs was being banned?
