I disagree, I view satire as simply a form of comedy. Satire truly developed into its current form in the 80's with the rise of shows like The Young Ones and Spitting Image and these were simply relying on satire to provide the comical element. The same way as say 'Have I got news for you' is satire rather than true comedy (like Shooting Stars)

IMHO, Brass Eye was appalling - be satirical, be comical, dont make a joke in any which way or form about something as sick as paedophilia. The money used by Chris Morris to make Brass Eye could have found much better uses elsewhere helping prevent paedophilia, rather than what was quite frankly an irrelevant and irreverant bag of ****e

On a related point, I was in a karate competetion Last night and one of the regular competitors is a careworker in a childrens' home who, we found out a couple of days ago, is currently being investigated for abusing children based on the allegations of a very dsisturbed child. Did he do it or didn't he? I dont know and apparently in that dsort of situation it is less than 50:50 certain as allegations are far more common than actual abuse. He is a pleasant enough chap but the interesting thing is that he didn't participate Last night and I found out that the other team were drawing lots about who got to fight him. Draw your own conclusions
