[QUOTE="LeightonBlackstock, post: 614872, member: 4692"] Although I disagree with him, monster makes some good points. One of the reasons I love this forum is that I get to hear the opinions of highly intelligent guys who think about life as we do. There are some members of this forum which I disagree with on a lot, but I thoroughly enjoy reading their posts. They're usually well-reasoned and are without ad-hominem aggression (the type of which is found on practically every other page of the internet) That said though, I do feel that NOT liking this show is like the one guy at Reading Festival 2008 who didn't enjoy Rage Against the Machine Yeah, it probably wasn't as great as the nineties, but jumping around to that for ninety minutes was fun as hell. Even a staunch Indie Kid should have been able to let his hair down (or maybe cut it?) Also, one must understand Charlie Brooker's comedy. He is incredibly dark with his humor. White Bear/White Christmas both left me laughing out loud at the end (and smiling). Both on point with their criticisms of unquestioned axions of public opinion in this decade. The ending of the Christmas special sees Brooker playing with his art. For me, he's moved it one way, then pushed it a bit further, then has completely rammed it in your face.
