[QUOTE="Brock Landers, post: 792498, member: 5184"] Charlie Brooker has been a hero of mine for many, many years since he used to write for zzap64 and amiga power. Absolute comedy genius. What about this from his wikipedia page: - PC Zone Brooker wrote for PC Zone magazine in the mid-1990s. Aside from games reviews, his output included the comic strip Cybertwats and a column entitled "Sick Notes", where Brooker would insult anyone who wrote in to the magazine and offered a £50 prize to the "best" letter. In February 1998, one of Brooker's one-shot cartoons caused the magazine to be pulled from the shelves of many British newsagents. The cartoon was entitled "Helmut Werstler's Cruelty Zoo" and professed to be an advert for a theme park created by a Teutonic psychologist for children to take out their violent impulses on animals rather than humans. [SIZE="3"][SIZE="4"][COLOR="Red"][I][B]It was accompanied by photoshopped pictures of children smashing the skulls of monkeys with hammers, jumping on a badger with a pitchfork, and chainsawing an orang-utan, among other things.[/B][/I][/COLOR][/SIZE][/SIZE] The original joke was supposed to be at the expense of the Tomb Raider games, known at the time for the number of animals killed, but the original title, [SIZE="4"][B][I][COLOR="Red"]"Lara Croft's Cruelty Zoo"[/COLOR][/I][/B][/SIZE], was changed for copyright reasons. LMFAO - Brooker for PM!!!:cops: :cops: :thumbsup: Haha, found the link: - [url=http://www.arbitary.i12.com/crueltyzoodebacle.html]CCB / Archive / Cruelty Zoo[/url] lmfao [/QUOTE]
