Quite frankly, the man's either wired or mad. If it's the former, he should be flung out of office: tarred, feathered and kicked in the nuts. I also came across some hilarious blog analyses of Brooker's comments. My favourite one being this one:
Ah, indeed. Brooker deplores violence, as all Leftists proclaim to do - but not as much as he abhors dissent as he so eruditely explained in his Sept. 4, 2004 column, "Power Dangers":
You'd better pray I never get into power, because at the first hint of, say, an anti-me demonstration, I'd be razing cities to the ground and ordering the televised execution of any and all dissenters. Which is probably what'll be happening in America some time round 2006 if "flip-floppin" Kerry doesn't get in.
He even cares about the little people:
By the way, that dwarf? He's the same one who turned up during the backward "dream" segments of Twin Peaks, except here he's elevated to a starring role (well, as "elevated" as he can ever be), which consists of waddling around with a conceited grin on his face, dispensing rubbish aphorisms and generally looking "weird" and "wise". Vertically-challenged or not, I guarantee you'll want to smash his tiny face in by the end of episode one.
Indeed, Charlie Brooker is a man of "peace".
