>> British TV: load of old wank <<

TV station thinks its viewers are morons

Channel 4 was set up in 1982 as a public

serviced broadcaster "to offer a benchmark of

quality and innovation". The channel says its

"public service remit extends beyond the value

we offer to the viewing public to our

contribution to the strength and diversity of

the British creative economy."

This week, C4 proudly announced that it would

be screening a Wankathon, a group masturbation

session being held in London next month. Andrew

MacKenzie, the channel's factual entertainment

commissioning editor said, "We feel this is

exactly the type of provocative and mischievous

programming that Channel 4 should be making."

Seems all the real tossers work at Channel 4.
