Awesome! Last 5 seconds FTW! What is this show?


Screenwipe

This was succeeded by Newswipe which we've seen around the sift before and his panel show 'You have been watching'

Yesterday he also started a radio 4 show titled 'So wrong it's right'.

All of them worth a watch/listen.

Correct deano. Brooker has had many sifts here with newswipe and screenwipe and whatever-else-wipe. They always do very well, people find the guy witty and clever.
Yet when an apple product gets bashed by him, they scrunch their eyes up real tight, pound their fists on their desks and squeak their fury.
If people bothered to think for a second, this is a recent SIFT, it isn't a recent production by brooker. He made this long long ago when the ipad was just announced, so all these things you're saying he's "repeating", him and his ilk were the ones who came up with it.
Brooker's paid to be sarcastic and pessimistic about the media, or politics, or whatever his show is about. He's made a living off it and he's pretty well acclaimed. Him and david mitchell are not dissimilar. Mitchell's just a bit more geeky.


An additional note, for those wondering about brooker's geekiness, he was editor of PC zone (like PC gamer, and coincidentally both owned by the same company, despite being rivals) for a good couple of years.

Yeah I don't think this is any kind of generational thing. If you go looking for brats like this, you'd find them in any time period.


Agreed. I think the only difference is now we make celebrities out of them.

I'm sorry, I'm around that age (19) and nobody I know would react anywhere nearly as badly as she did in the movie. Infact, we'd all probably be so shocked we were actually getting a car in the first place, even if it was an old junker, we may be crying tears of joy.
The difference between me and that kid? My parents aren't rediculously rich. This kid was obviously spoiled from birth, and got everything she ever wanted, how she wanted it. When she cries, her parents buy her something to her feel better.
Now, I can't truly speak for anything earlier then 1989, but i'm pretty sure there have been kids like this since the beginning of time, INCLUDING through the 40's, 50's, 60's 70's and 80's, which ever generation you grew up in. So I have to disagree with you completely.
The kids these days are almost the exact same as they were when you were growing up. If your family had/has money, 99% of the time, you're spoiled with it.


The way rich people create non-spoiled children is to absolutely, 100% refuse to use their money as a substitute for their lack of love and/or attention.

>> ^Abel_Prisc:
I remember back when a clip of that episode was on the sift. The girl bitched, cried, and screamed because the car wasn't presented at the party, and I was completely in shock about her behavior.
Whenever I tell my peers that this newer generation of children are completely fucking spoiled out of their minds, to the point where they have absolutely no respect for themselves, anyone around them, and especially their parents, I use this very video as my example. Sure, not every child is this bad, but the majority of them are pretty damn close, from my observation.

Eden originally posted this video months ago. This one embeds the identical source video - I was under the impression this was impossible unless the original had been killed.

Either way, I find this practice of raiding other people's discard piles kind of sleazy. If folks would bother to s
earch before posting, this BS wouldn't happen. I know VS search is far from ideal, but that's no reason to just blow it off completely. Clearly, it will happen occasionally, but I've been seeing very large numbers of dupes (previously discarded or not) lately.

It's staggering that this merging of police investigation and entertainment shows can be tolerated. I first heard of this show on Charlie Brooker's ScreenWipe and like him I'm somewhat bemused/shocked by the kind of mainstream programming this produces and is deemed acceptable.

Shame my Screenwipe (or C&C Sift) got through before your collective appeared...Can I have an invite for any more, please?
