    As an Editor myself, I know how it is. Editing is all about finding the right shots, reaction shots, and sound bytes. I once had to work with a bit of quite crappy source footage, but turned it into a most workable short film. Funny

    It’s also pretty obvious that penguins subsist on seafood and huge pieces of junk float around in outer space, still kinda interesting to learn about how it works.

    Charlie falling off the thing at 4:35 is far more hilarious than anyone falling off anything should be.

    so true, charlie brooker is very good at tearing all this modern wank apart. He may be massively cynical but he cracks me up. “The loves that madeley”

    Ahhhh, the New World Order, i should have recognized that.
    Yes i am a tad familiar with the NWO and the whole,” small group of people want to take over the world thing.”
    But yeah, like you say, if the conspiracy theories are only a third right, then we are in the shit. :) bring on 2012.

    This is really quite interesting, it’s quite incredible how you can believe pretty much anything is happening if it’s edited right, alos how differently you can look at things depending if some is speaking positively or negatively about someone ie 3:40 – 4:16

    Haha!…just …
    Haha!…just letting off a little steam! But if you want to know a little more about the NWO (New World Order)..check out Alex Jones on youtube. He’s a tad on the evangelical side, so be warned. But if even if he’s a THIRD right, then there’s real cause for concern. But be warned, it’ll make you think again! Take care.

    WHY WAS THIS LET THROUGH!? The NWO is VERY displeased with this oversight, I can tell you! For the love of Satan, just let the plebes believe what they want!!!!!!!!!!!!! The BASTARDS!!!

    Charlie Brooker Is a hero,well a guitar hero at least,all those watching the latest Screenwipe know why.

    After watching this you relise how fake these programs are and you look more closley.When britains got talent was on they showed this one girl in the audience who had a shocked look at least once every episode.And the judges expressions on the xfactor are soo edited.
    Charlie brooker is the man!!

    It’s so strange what reality has become nowadays. I remember randomly deciding to watch an episode of Wife Swap USA (don’t judge me) until as the opening credits rolled and the warning “Some scenes may have been created for entertainment purposes” came up. That’s just insane.

    “i dunno what it is the loves that madeley”
