The execution of channel 4

Good morning citizens of the blogosphere and Sardonicus has a question for you.
Who sold Channel 4 to Rupert Murdoch? Come on confess you know you want to. One of you did, I have my eye on you Gordy Brown (with all the crap decisions you make these days I'm sure one of them is reading my rotten blog). Oh and stop sending me poorly written letters regretting my death, I haven't been blown up...yet.

But back to my main rant, who sold Channel 4? I refer of course to the execution of Gary Glitter. A vile tabloidy bit of nonsense where Gary Glitter played by Ming the Merciless slithered around a show, excuding pure liquid evil through his evil poors, before being dragged to his noose by I think Jethro the popular Cornish standup. In the mean time a lot of stupid people were asked their opinion, which seemed to be "Hang the bastard," which was more liberal than I suspect "Hang him by his winkle and beat him to death with his shoulder pads"

They even had Gary Bushell. I thought he killed himself after watching Gareth Gates and feeling a bit queer, best take no chances eh?

Gary of course whining on the gallows worse than an amateur dramactic version of Shylock. Couldn't they at least have had Timothy Spall as the hangman? He was dead good at Pierrpoint.

Now why was this program not only crap, but dangerously crap. Well firstly it implies that paedophilia is on a par if not worse than murder, a dangerous and unhelpful view. Secondly by making the villain clearly they shortcut the debate, surely the biggest problem with the death sentence is that people tend to get it wrong? Innocent people end up dead or in the case of Ruth Ellis and Dereck Bentley were both clearly guilty, but deserving of a more human sentence. Also this blatant, demonising of sex offenders helps no one. I want to see Chris Langham back on the thick of it, it's weak stuff without him.

But none of that matters when your up against "Left versus Right Jordans tits fall out" on Sky1 or "When Siamese twins kill...each other," on Channel . Come on Channel 4 you're still supposed to be a public service broadcaster?

Perhaps a better alternative would be to go for a more serious crime? How about Micheal Barrymoore for his dubious pool games, they could behead him. Strike his head off unluck?

Or maybe high treason, Tony Benn maybe? Or how about George Galloway plays Saddam Hussein in a reenactment of his execution? The moustachioed, egotistical, Tango man would probably go through it.

Now that would be worth the license fee.

Not boo the paedophile with idiotic remixed songs.
