Know your enemy

I watched a few episodes of Nathan Barley -- Friday nights in happen more often when it's cold outside and you're sober.

Some of it's funny. Chris Morris has a bleak and sharp sense of humour, and does the almost-unwatchable very well.

But with its Rape magazine and its gratuitous nasty porn, it's moved into completely unwatchable. It's like being slapped round the face with Loaded magazine. Dark, ironic misogyny is still misogyny. I forgot that for a while, but I've remembered it again.
