Charlie Booker, what a dreamboat

I've recently become aware of this chaps existence. His name is Charlie Booker and he was sent here to rock our faces. His unabashed attacks on consumer culture, especially tele, make for enlightening entertainment. I reckon it's kind of like watching nobles being hanged in the middle ages. He writes, draws (cartoons) and does what may be called acting. It is supposed to be 'news' like but really his act cannot be real. He would catch on fire simply from the friction caused due to his perpetual scowling. Anyway you have to see screenwipe, if nothing else he has done. It deals with television and boy does he give a deliciously biased view. His cynicism knows no bounds, which to me makes for the greatest form of entertainment. Enjoy this one.
