Talking Heads Malfunction On Camera

Post by The Red Fox » Mon Jul 04, 2011 3:30 pm

Thanks to the hilarious Charlie Brooker for the links. Looks like they need to be taken back to the shop for repairs.

It's like they're not even trying any more. Either that or the tapes got chewed up. They really need to upgrade our politicians to accommodate digital audio. Less chance of this happening in future.

The gov't has clearly acted in a reckless and provocative manner in coosing these half-polished turds to speak on their behalf, Red Fox, but surely we need both sides to put aside their rhetoric and gather around the negotiating table to prevent this sort of thing from happening again. Waddaya say?

*nods thoughtfully* I agree, FBM. We're all in this together. Such a move would help Britain grow, and grow strongly, and would be a vote of confidence for the government and their economic policies. It would be a double-dose of good news.

Reckless and provoctative that but was it reckless and provocatative to say it three times or was it four? :snooze:

what a knob.
Our struggle is not against actual corrupt individuals, but against those in power in general, against their authority, against the global order and the ideological mystification which sustains it.

It's not edited. Milliband may not be stupid, but he is a career politician. He's playing the game his PR's tell him to play. That's how he made it to the top; by following orders.

If you read the Brooker article I linked to, he has a link to a blog post by Damon Green (the interviewer in that clip). http://www.twitlonger.com/show/bfensm It has some revealing information about the PR involved in setting up such a repetitive and pointless interview like that, and the amount of staging which goes on. They expect the political points to be make with the visual presentation as opposed to the words which come out of the talking head in question.
