If you're only going to watch 9 minutes and 13 seconds of TV this long weekend …

Around here we say “TV should be good” and Charlie Brooker’s Newswipe really does answer this mandate.

Around here we also say “Dan, you used to be fat, greasy, and weird, but now you’re just greasy and weird”.

Luckily for us Brooker is still fat, weird and angry. This analysis of Jade Goody’s death has to be one of the best things you’ll watch this week, and really shows you what broadcast television can do.

Also don’t feel bad about watching Brooker on the Youtube, he twittered this week that we could because they will never ever come out on DVD. If that’s not legally binding, I don’t know what is.

    wow – what a fabulous rant from Brooker – i couldn’t find a damn thing to disagree with. Well worth the watch even if you don’t have a clue who Jade was.

    It should be required viewing for all the vultures who bring us our news.
