The Emperor of Pluto


Charlie Brooker on conspiracy theories:

[T]o believe the "system" is trying to control you is to believe it considers you worth controlling in the first place. The reality - that "the man" is scarcely competent enough to control his own bowels, and doesn't give a toss about you anyway - is depressing and emasculating; just another day in the cardboard box factory. And that's no place for an imaginary emperor, now, is it?

Charlie Brooker for PM. No, fuck that. Charlie Brooker for king--I want his face on my coins.

Can't remember - do you have Betty on your coins?

Denying that the conspiracy exists is surefire proof that the conspiracy exists.

I therefore deny that the conspiracy does not exist.

Sorted.

Since 2003 we've had Old Bag Betty on the obverse.

Health Warning: care must be taken in reading CIF posts, even those written by sane human beings (as opposed to Tory-droids and creatures from the green lagoon) that you don't let your eyes slip into the comments section. I did once and was up till 4 am with it. CIF is a perfect microcosm of the blogosphere, far to perfect in reflecting the dull, delusional and the dreadfully written.
