ITN News Report on Brass Eye

The 2001 episode of Brass Eye "paedogeddon" is most likely what comedian Chris Morris will be most remembered for. People like Tessa Jowell are just blind to the modern satire.

what's really funny is that Brass Eye was parodying news programs like this.. The paedophile episode was an accurate (more extreme) but accurate spoof of how actual news programs go about reporting stories.

Politicians and media types were appalled that it was them being ridiculed.

@BeveledSpilchOnion Lmao the end is priceless too! "Two asylum seek..." You know they were just about to launch into some sensationalised bullshit story. :D

Everyone who complained, watched and laughed their tits off at it first.

Just sayin.

Anyone else notice at the end, the next subject on the news was Asylum Seekers, another subject the media use to get peoples emotions flowing. The Brass Eye show could have been done on that subject as well. But Pedophilia was a lot more controversial.

Lembit Opik speaks sense for once.

Fuck off Tessa Jowell and take your politically correct bullshit and shove it up your crusty ass. Seriously, if people weren't so fucking uptight and paranoid, programmes like this wouldn't be made to take the piss out of you.
