Apparently it's been pulled because of the Brixton schoolgirl missing in France and they don't want to upset the family.

Although the family are proberly out wading through lakes and have set their videos.

Are they still replaying the original series?

Or is that cancelled too?

According to www.cookdandbomd.co.uk , the new Brass Eye Special and all the hullaballoo surrounding its deletion from the schedule is all a finely orchestrated prank by none other than Chris Morris himself. The show is not about paedophilia, instead it's about internet rumour and hysteria.

The show will air, once material posted on various internet forums from enraged Morris fans has been collated and inserted into the programme...

Of course, I read the above just after writing a long-winded and self-righteous rant about it that went online.

Fuck.

I think it's funny, but I also feel extremely stupid.

Based on inside info, so I guess it is. This gives me back my faith in human nature. It's beautiful.

If Chris has done this he's a fucking genious.
The people who wrote to complain are all CUNTS!

In fact all of C4's programming of the past year has been written by Chris Morris. All the po-faced Nazi documentaries, Brookside, Channel 4 News, E4, for fuck's sake...
It was so obvious. Why didn't I see it before...

Stuff and Nonce Sense.


SPOILERS FOLLOW.

Taken from this week's NME, some excerpts from the new show:

quote:Phil Collins:
I'm talking (points to T-shirt then to head) Nonce Sense. (Describing someone to be suspicious of) If someone shows you a model of your hometown and all the models look like penises...

quoter Fox, DJ:
Genetically, paedophiles have more genes in common with crabs than they do with you or me. Now that's scientific fact. There's no real evidence for it but it is scientific fact.

quote:Richard Blackwood:
Every time your kids tickle Pandu (the computerised dog) the paedophile gets his rocks off... Online paedophiles can actually make your keyboard release toxic vapours.

quote:Kate Thornton:
It's called a HOECS game - a Hidden Online Entrapment Control System... HOECS games can cause serious damage. One child was trapped online for a whole night and, according to a psychiatrist's report, came away with the jaded, listless sexual appetite of a 60-year-old colonel.


quote:The show is introduced with the words "Welcome to paedo-geddon!"

In another scene, Morris challenges a paedophile held in some stocks to tell him whether he would like to have sex with his young son. The boy is present while Morris' presenter tackles the offender.

Morris also portrays a fake rap-star called JLB-8, who raps about having sex with children and performs onstage with the doll of a young girl strapped to his groin.


So tempted to tape the show and send a copy to Laila...

The trailer for the new show's just been on. "Look at this film... a paedophile disguised as a school..."

I can't wait.

Sounds like Laila wrote the 'How To Identify A Paedophile' parts - or would that be nonce sense?

There's a banned radio advert for the new show currently available at www.warprecords.com :

"Last month notorious paedophile Sydney Cooke was blasted into space - however it was revealed that an 8-year-old boy was also placed on board by mistake. A spokesman said: "This is the one thing we didn't want to happen..."

Hee.

People must be recording this on Thursday...?
 
 
Spatula Clarke

Yeah. You want a copy?

I have made requests of several people to record it, but I don't entirely trust any of them not to forget or record the wrong thing. If you could set your video as a back-up, that would be brilliant....
