Brilliant British TV meta-report

Via acula1900‘s favourite videos on YouTube, an absolutely brilliant self-referencing parody of the boring style of TV reports and the robotic tone of the reporters — in this case on British TV. This report on reports carries two or three layers of self-deprecating meaning, so play it twice to get all subtleties. It’s Charlie Brooker for Newswipe.

I thought immediately that this is exactly the kind of video that we loved to share and comment, my ex-flatmates in London and I. I think they would appreciate it, and that it would provide some good references and in-jokes for a while.
