Maybe some of the idiots who complained about it without
even having seen it will be able to "listen, read, think,
calm down, relax, SHUT THE FUCK UP!" (courtesy of Bill
Hicks)

still time for a last-ditch Daily Mail campaign to get the
plug pulled.

I know its bad , but if they find a body or some new kid
goes missing over the weekend... it WILL be dropped..

:)) Bill Hicks liked young girls ... GOATBOYYYY!!

i'm glad they are putting it on again, I guess since it was
nominated for a bafta it was legitimised somewhat and all of
a sudden its comic political genius to half those people
that slated it

Brass Eye is a spoof "Current Affairs Expose" type
programme, where Chris Morris in various guises investigates
'Gritty hard-hitting' issues which are usually
sensationalised by the real UK media (Drugs, Crime etc)

His spoofs are a surreal but almost logical progression on
real life situations, like a "reformed" pedophile who takes
adolescents onto his bus and warns them of the dangers of
pedophiles, by playing strange suggestive role-plays with
them....

the best bits are when he gulls Celebrities like Phill
Collins & Gary Lineker into supporting (spoof) TV campaigns
.... eg getting them to explain the dangers of Pedophiles
reaching through computer screens to touch children hundreds
of miles away , because they are wearing special "Gloves"
...

It is TV which is uniquely cleverly conceived. Morris is
a cult-figure in the UK. He is an anti-celebrity. He is a
media -antagonist . His programme was responsible for the
Daily Mail front page headline
"THE SICKEST TV SHOW EVER"
None of the politicians who complained had even SEEN the
show...

The whole Brass Eye series including the special was also
just released on DVD last monday. Apparently it's already
out of stock on play.com as it was outselling for example
Lord of the rings.

yeah I know what you mean. and I hate it when you watch
something late but you're too tired to find out and then you
think its ok then go about your life for a week with it at
the back of your mind trying to work out what it was until
you have to know what it was and you eventually find out
