Disadvantages: Might make you wet yourself

Charlie Brooker is a very tough man to please. This collection of columns and TV reviews reveals the Guardian man to have a severe dislike for...well...pretty much anyone who gets in his way. Rarely have I laughed so loud or for so long - I felf a strong urge to punch the air with joy after reading some of the columns - especially ones about Lost or Big Brother. To say that Brooker has an acerbic wit would be doing a sever disservice acerbs. Whatever they are. He is sharp, funny, a complete smart arse and seems to have access to a swear word library that even Viz haven't discovered yet. If you've seen the brilliant new series of Screen Wipe on BBC4 you'll know what exactly what to expect. Those easily offended, stay away. Those seeking enlightenment through swearing and generally being Mr Grumpy Trousers, sign up right here.
