"Off-piste afternoon dick in a forest"


Click HERE for more genius wordsmithery from Charlie Brooker's latest G2 column.

And the pictuire above is quite obviously, from Charlie's book Dawn of The Dumb, which is the funniest thing I've read. Ever.
(Although I've only read 13 books, and they were about a drifter called Reacher who is also a killing machine and all-round good egg. Admittedly they were unintentionally funny, but not quite on this level).

Charlie Brooker on conspiracy theories:

"Throughout my twenties I earnestly believed Oliver Stone's account of the JFK assassination. Partly because of the compelling (albeit wildly selective) way the "evidence" was blended with fiction in his 1991 movie - but mainly because I WANTED to believe it. Believing it made me feel important.
Embrace a conspiracy theory and suddenly you're part of a gang sharing privileged information; your sense of power and dignity rises a smidgen and this troublesome world makes more sense, for a time. You've seen through the matrix!"
