Oh okay then.
Wouldn't have. Journalism studies was it? And I wasn't referring to a magic wand. I was calling you a wand. It's a funny and hopefully not too offensive euphemism for dick. I was going for something plonker-esque.
Who said Charlie Brooker, or me for that matter, only recently discovered anything? And why is 'recently' in inverted commas? What are you on about? My post which was originally in sympathy and support of yours (yes I was agreeing with you) featured a quote from a recent piece from The Weekly Wipe TV show on the horse meat scandal. I thought was well written and funny. I posted it because you mentioned guilt over your furtive gobbling of a dirty McDonalds which reminded me of the Brooker gag featuring a description of budget burgers.
You'll notice that the quote starts "I used to think...' And ends "turns out it might not have been as appetizing as that'. Knowing that cheap burgers are as disgustingly produced as extravagantly described, but not caring as long as there's no horse in them is the whole premise of the joke. You posted about feeling dirty burger shame so why so touchy about someone agreeing with you?
You were into not liking McDs before me and I'm a hipster? Next time a bit of well written topical comedy vitriol threatens to make me laugh I'll force myself to stop and make sure the writer has a certificate from the local technical college before I allow myself a titter.
Once again this was both a joke (willful misunderstanding. Do you think I'm from the 1950s or something?) and another way of calling you a dick, in a hopefully relatively gentle and humorous way. Did you miss media studies the day they did polite penis euphemisms? You may now tell me you didn't do media studies.
Ok I'm done.
