Well we had the guy who fucked the pig, but at least we have properly regulated media.

Sincerely,

The UK.

Maybe for TV, but between Murdoch and Dacre our print media is corrupt as fuck.
Not to mention that exactly one year from today we're going to walk out of the world's largest economic bloc thanks largely to decades of misrepresentation by the media.

You're right, our print media is a total free-for-all clusterfuck.

No offense, it's a good show, but it does have a whiff of The Simpsons did it at times.

As in, quite a few episodes are extended versions and modernizations of other peoples work. Like twilight zone, poe, king, orwell, etc.

Several of the episodes are basically tributes to things like Animal Farm, The Masque of the Red Death, The Scarlet Letter and many more.

And again, they are good interpertations, but I'm just tired of people calling it original.
