A friend at the Times

The Times seem to enjoy their SP stories. The picked up on this last year and now this one following the budget . A small pic of the Gordon Brown moment appeared on the front page but maybe they picked it up from the Telegraph .

What da fuck is going on? Come to mention it, it was all over the wires, but front page of the Times! "Viewers of the animated comedy South Park saw Gordon Brown wreak nuclear war upon Finland last night, as punishment for scuppering his plot to solve the global economic downturn by stealing money from aliens. The episode, screened on the Comedy Central channel, was produced before the Budget announcement."

It was screened 10.00pm EST, so 3am Thursday morning GMT. Which means all you naughty file sharers in the UK were watching it at 4amish; about the time Alistair Darling woke up sweating and dreaming of a large red package in his hand. Etc etc. More to come! Plus I finally take the Marxist literary theory for dummies piece in Taking SP Seriously and Fingerbang has a half-time report on season 13. Doesn't look good I'm afraid.
