I'm reading Charlie Brooker's latest book, Dawn of the Dumb, in which he expertly savages numerous TV shows. These are excerpts from his Guardian TV page.
By far the best bit lately is an entry in regards to Celebrity Love Island. After describing Patrick Kielty as 'a man you wish would shut up even before he starts speaking', he suggests that the show isn't really about having fun.
He explains "if it was about fun, they'd go the whole hog: call it Celebrity Fuck Hut and send paratroopers in to force them to form a grunting, humping human daisy chain."
Earlier, he starts an entry off like this:
"If a penis could choose its own wardrobe and hair stylist, chances are it'd end up looking like Duane 'Dog' Chapman, star of Dog the Bounty Hunter."
It's priceless stuff. Twice I've had to put the book away on the bus for fear of dissolving too much in fits of laughter, and looking like a lunatic.
