At first glance, My Super Sweet 16 appears to be a sugary bit of reality drizzle about some irritating American brats, but the more you watch it the more you realize it’s actually a stonehearted exposé of everything that’s wrong with our faltering so-called civilization.

We're inseparable, games and I. If you cut me, I'd bleed pixels. Or blood. Probably blood, come to think of it.

Calling Batman 'the Dark Knight' is like calling Papa Smurf 'the Blue Patriarch':you're not fooling anyone.

A lot of people think right-wingers aren't capable of being amusing at all. Not true. Mussolini looked hilarious swinging from that lamppost.
Charlie Brooker -
I can't rank anything. I mean, how could anyone possibly say what their favourite piece of music is? I don't have the ability or the desire to categorise things of that nature.

With Boris Johnson, you don't think of him as a politician, oddly. You think of him as a media personality because he's a comic character. He's basically Homer Simpson. That makes him strangely bullet-proof.
Charlie Brooker -
He could probably make you a cloud sandwich if you asked. Or a blancmange made of numbers.
Charlie Brooker -
The logical quandaries thrown up by well-meaning systems are clearly something that I find darkly amusing.
