Anyone catch that Hello Culture thing on Badness last night on Channel 4?
It annoyed me in that it could have been so much...well better.
It took in all the usual suspects, Byron, Crowley, Charlie Manson (who btw is just as sad and pathetic as I thought). Some nice stuff about Jung and how he was once again a talented bastard who was a bit of a git really.
I notice they didn't mention why De Sade was imprisoned, Poisoning several of his servants.
All in all sort of culture lite and don't get me started on Coil, gosh aren't they spooky.

Hmmm, where they taking the almost traditional 'Charlie Manson is a misunderstood genius' line? Is he almost a counter culture hero because those that have posters on their walls don't actually know who he is and what he's about or because they know he's a Nazi fascist scumbag and they are as well?

The Charlie Manson interview was actually quite well handled, just some sad wizzened old nutcase with a swastika carved into his forehead rambling on about how society needed him to do what he did.
The prog laid him out as he was, with a dash of overblown narration talking about these hippies were the darkside of the 60's.
