The United Kingdom should immediately arrest Charles Brooker, the author of the article that includes the tasteless verbiage below, for calling for the assassination of George Bush, President of the United States of America.

This is so far beyond the pale of civilized behavior that I am hardly contain my rage. The fact that they put it out there makes me absolutely furious! Wouldn’t an editor or someone at the paper have to approve what’s being published for the world to see? Makes me wonder who our allies really are!

Dumb show

On November 2, the entire civilised world will be praying, praying Bush loses. And Sod’s law dictates he’ll probably win, thereby disproving the existence of God once and for all. The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you?

The story was pulled after they received many, many complaints, and in its place we see this thin and weak apology.

“Charlie Brooker apologises for any offence caused by his comments relating to President Bush in his TV column, Screen Burn. The views expressed in this column are not those of the Guardian. Although flippant and tasteless, his closing comments were intended as an ironic joke, not as a call to action - an intention he believed regular readers of his humorous column would understand. He deplores violence of any kind.”

Keep that limey sense of humor to yourself! Nobody here thinks that’s funny. Daffy Wanker. Too late. Damage is done.
