Is it just me or is Charlie Brooker one of the greatest people in the world ever?
Everything he seems to write or produce appeals to me. He could insult me forever and I would still think he is great. For those americans who don't know who he is I guess the best way to discribe him is that he is the english version of Jon Stewart... but better.
Not only does he write and present Newswipe which finished yesterday and Screenwipe which has had five series, but he wrote the amazing zombie horror mini-series Dead Set. I also love his guardian column, how can you not admire someone who can write...
"Philip seems to spend 98% of his screen time shouting his own opinions over anything anyone says. And if they're a woman, he'll shout twice as loud, for twice as long, like some previously-unseen character from Life On Mars, only less amusing because he's wearing a smart suit and some hair gel instead of a zany kipper tie. And boy does he love himself.
He looks like he throws himself roughly on to the bed each night, hungrily moving his hands all over his own body, trying to kiss himself deep in the mouth. If it were legal or even possible to do so, he'd probably marry himself, then conduct a long-term affair with himself behind himself's back, eventually fathering nine children with himself, all of whom would walk and talk like him. And then he'd lock those mini-hims in a secret underground dungeon to have his sick way with his selves, undetected, for decades."
Brilliant... *sigh*
More of his brilliance can be found on youtube
Here is him ripping apart 'my super sweet 16' for example...
