Brooker receives myspace message from some unheard-of.

[Luther Blissett]

I just wrote to Charlie Brooker on myspace.

If he replies and says something funny, I'll share it here.

I feel like a comedy bacterium floating on the edge of a comedy thermal vent, deep below a comedy sea.

It's as though the margin between survival and going under* can sometimes come down to hearing a good joke that week.

Oh, this is on his myspace page in the pics section:





*hey, I just realised what a shit metaphor that became: "going under" refers to drowing, which would be rather hard if you are in any case a bacterium that lives deep beneath the surface of the ocean.
