It doesn't matter what country you come from, we can all agree that Charlie Brooker is fucking brilliant.

@JoellyMoley oh sorry the "american fucker" thing was from the video you wernt saying it at me. my apologies

[jimmy2k4o]

@JoellyMoley No I wouldn't approve but thats not the same yes its entrapment and tacky but its getting paedos off the streets or at least lets people know what they look like, also I'm not American I'm a Scotsman I've never even been to America

@jimmy2k4o Nobody is defending child molesters, but a TV show dedicated to showcasing them is gaudy and exploitative. Would you approve of a similar show dedicated to ensnaring petty thieves? How about litterers? Hey, why not a gameshow? Convicted felons fight alligators with big foam swords! Oh cock, now we're in a Stephen King book and it's all your fault, you big American fucker.

@jimmy2k4o That's the difference between american and British attitudes to entertainment. It's seen as too vulgar in the UK, and yes it is entrapment. It's similar to leaving a wallet out in the street full of money, and then tracking the theif down later on camera for public humiliation without a trial. It's the sort of cheap crap that you'd expect on eastern european TV.

@jimmy2k4o I'm not defending paedophiles you moron I'm defending Brooker's opinion on a show about paedophiles! And simultaneously criticisng you for possessing neanderthal views. Read my post again before you come back at me.

[jimmy2k4o]

@BoJanglezzzzzz  are you actually judging what i said???? you! the person who seems to be defending paedophiles....people who rape children????

[BoJanglezzzzzz]

@jimmy2k4o Tbh I think overall he's more on about the obscene way they do it- tricking the guy is one thing, but luridly reading out chat logs and making him come to a house full of cameras is totally unnecessary. As for chopping their balls off, please don't have children, ever. Either that or Move to Saudi Arabia, you'd fit in just fine with the eye-for-an-eye mentality over there.
