09:39 - 10:52 The music is Holiday in Cambodia by the Dead Kennedy's performed by an orchestra. And just when you though Charlie Brooker could not get anymore awesome.
It's kind of weird seeing He-Man explain time travel is fictional, next thing he'll be admitting he is a fictional character and he'll break down in tears.
What he said about the television being wheeled into class is absolutely true, every child acts as if they'd never watched tv before, it was similar to being allowed on the computers, we'd just go balistic and then we'd go home and they'd be a tele and computer staring at us in the face...wierd.
Stupidity is a by-product of education. To an extent you are right to say this, some people are not educated enough to realise they can educate themselves!
Please no Charlie don't give up n stop posting stuff, just cause folk are hijacking your beautiful work, they're only doing cause they're loving it n you speak truth that resonates x you are blessed to infiltrate x nice one our kid xxx
You can tell this brilliant man used to write with the also so ever brilliant Chris Morris and Armando Iannucci. Their shows all shared that same agenda with metaphoric satirical wit. These three men make me feel fucking brilliant for being fucking intelligent.
Ok when that guy mentioned jayce and the wheeled warriors (which was aired on channel 4 at the time) actually made me smile and laugh. Ok in honesty i hate april fools day news reports, not because they catch me off guard its because i have my guard so high up that when i hear the news of a gunman attack taking place im most likely not going to believe it. so TV ruined my life simply by lying to me and straining the line between reality and fiction
even as a rational man, the ghot watch thing is still a little creepy, it catches you off guard because of the familar presenters you grow to trust over time i think
Was that old documentary about the spaghetti harvest for real? seriously, what was going through their minds. And the actors, picking strands of spaghetti off trees for a documantary made to decieve people. Couldn't they have just showed the truth of someone making the dough and then shredding it???
Calculating the number of atoms in the floor boards really isn't so difficult. You need the mass and the main chemical constituents as well as their ratios.
I like Curtis for the most part.... but you'd have to be pretty damn deluded in his favour not to admit he uses visuals to make his documentaries seem more interesting then they actually are
"curtis uses footage to illustrate arguments" he uses footage barely related to what he's talking about to make things more visually engaging, like for example showing footage from old Arabian knight movies well talking about the american government's exaggeration of Islamic terrorist threat in The Power Of Nightmares
@disamjisa "very few people have the breadth of literary knowledge of even the average middle class person from a few decades ago." Absolute bullshit. In the words of Peter Medawar "the spread of secondary and latterly tertiary education has created a large population of people, often with well-developed literary and scholarly tastes, who have been educated far beyond their capacity to undertake analytical thought." You seem to be a victim of this.
