I usually have a lot of good to say about Channel Four. After all, it broadcast the paralympics, gave airtime to Richard Dawkins, and although it was a tad misscast, brought us I’m Spazzticus. Yet it seems to have developed a dark streak lately: many people including myself were appalled with Benefits Street, which treated those on benefits like zoo animals; The Undatables is even worse, frankly being exploitation tv at it’s most base. I refuse to watch it.

I’m not alone in this revulsion. Yesterday, Lyn showed me this, adding very astutely that I’ll want to put it on my blog. How right she was: as a piece of art and wordplay, this rap is incredible; as a protest against the revolting thing Channel Four and tv in general is currently doing, it is even better. Check it out.
