To put Oerdin's disgruntlement in context, let's look at the offender.
Charlie Brooker wrote- "John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you?"
Over the past 3 years, Charlie Brooker has also done the following-
1- Suggested that respected chat show host Michael Aspel is so sycophantic that he might as well fellate his guests.
2- Claimed that Tony Blair has a severe medical impairment of the rectum and wrestles naked in front of a fireplace.
3- Requested that Jim Davidson be replaced by a rag on a stick, before fantasising at great length about sawing him open for fun.
4- Accused John Leslie of attacking his guests with a broom while attempting to conceal an erection.
...and that's just from a quick flick through his work. It's a bad-taste humour page in the entertainment section of the paper. To hold it up as symptomatic of poor journalism is the reason we were laughing at Oerdin.
Plus the fact he banged on about deceitfully mixing opinion and news when a piece he cited had "Comment" at the top in a big font, denoting it as an opinion piece. Yep- we laughed.
