Americans, seriously, you HAVE to watch this shit. Chris Morris is a fucking genius.

Now fact me til I fart!

EPISODE ONE - MAIN NEWS ATTACK


EPISODE TWO - THE BIG REPORT


EPISODE THREE - MEGANEWS


EPISODE FOUR - STRETCHCAST


EPISODE FIVE - MAGNIFICENT


EPISODE SIX - NEWSATROLYSIS AKA FACTGASM


And if you want to see one of the most controversial programs ever shown on Channel 4, then check out Brass Eye's special PAEDOGEDDON episode, also on Youtube.



Quote:
Around 3,000 complaints were received and politicians spoke out against Morris. Minister for Child Protection Beverley Hughes described the show as "unspeakably sick" but later admitted she had not seen the episode. Home Secretary David Blunkett said he was "dismayed" but had also not seen the episode, as he was on holiday in Majorca at the time, and in any event is blind. Tessa Jowell, after watching, asked the Independent Television Commission to change its procedures so it could rule more swiftly on similar programmes. There was also a tabloid campaign against Morris, who refused to discuss the issue.

The Daily Star decried Morris and the show, placing the story next to a separate article about the 15-year-old singer Charlotte Church's breasts under the headline "She's a big girl now" and using the words "looking chest swell". The Daily Mail pictured Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, who were 13 and 11, in their bikinis next to a headline describing Brass Eye as "Unspeakably Sick". Defenders of the show argued that media reaction to the show reinforced its satire of the media's hysteria and hypocrisy on the subject of paedophilia.

The episode won a Broadcast magazine award in 2002.

He said he didn't like it, but he had to go along with it.
