God, that's spooky. I was just about to post the same thing. Dude is hot as hell. Clearly he's hypnotised us both through the tellybox somehow.

I'm not really fond of his experiment programes though. I much prefer the stage shows. Enigma, the one broadcast at Christmas last year was breathtakingly bonkers & wonderful.

He seduced the nation's womenfolk with his piercing magic eyes and his slightly pervy beard and then he broke our hearts by being all gay for men and stuff. He is a Very Bad Wizard.

It is a dear wish of mine to see him on QI/WILTY tearing it up.

HIGNFY wasn't as good as last week. Mostly because Louise Mensch kept saying stupid poo poo. Nice to see Hislop rip into her a bit though.

I think I like him for his voice when he's doing his hypnotising. It's basically a Sex Voice.

And he would be good on QI, but he would be even better on Newsnight. Just imagine all the things he could make politicians do...

Oh no! The celeb is Stephen Fry! I was hoping it would be Simon Cowell!

I guessed it would be Stephen Fry before they revealed it, and can only assume it was the product of some sort of wiley Derren Brown wizardry tricks.

I know it was just tricks and acting and editing and all that, but seeing Stephen Fry get assasinated by that poor wee hypnotised boy was genuinely upsetting.

Derren Brown is a witch. A sexy, sexy witch.

But oh look, Fry is doing QI on the other channel now and he's perfectly well and he's got Professor Brian Cox and Sue Perkins with him. :allears:

The problem with Derren Brown is the payoff is never quite good enough. Atleast not anymore. I never finish a programme going "wow, that was amazing". I like him as a TV personality well enough though.

Have a look at her wikipedia page.

Louise Mensch's wikipedia page posted:

On October 21st 2011, Mensch appeared on BBC's Have I got News For You, where, apparently under the impression that she was appearing in an edition of Question Time, she caused general outrage by suggesting that protesters who bought coffee couldn't be taken seriously. This right-wing stupidity was expertly destroyed by the rest of the panel, and Downing Street quickly issued a statement saying that Ms Mensch would not be appearing on any future programs of Have I Got News For You.[29]

Don't know how long it will stay there for. The citation leads to - http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/crime/8697850/Louise-Mensch-MP-calls-for-Twitter-and-Facebook-blackout-during-riots.html

She's a reprehensible human being and I'm starting to get the impression that her extensive television appearances are all part of a long running Tory plan to turn her into Thatcher 2.0 (for the younger generation) via the route that Boris won the London Mayoral position. I.e. by plastering her all over the popular funny stuff and occasionally saying something right wing and funny.

Luckily, she's a loving idiot and had all of her asinine views torn to shreds by people too disgusted with her to barely mask their contempt with their usual comedy. You could tell that Merton was gobsmacked by her ignorance.

Between this and Rab C. Nesbitt for the last few weeks, it's been nice to see BBC shows tear the poo poo out of Tories. Hopefully it's only a matter of time now until Spitting Image makes a comeback and the other stations get stuck in too.

What does her physical attractiveness have to do with her position? What does how much he'd like to gently caress her have to do with that? Why is he the one doing the loving and where's Mensch's implied consent to this loving in the sentence? Here's the answer: it has nothing to do with anything other than, at best, to be comically edgy and at worst to be a misogynist shitheel.

"Look at all these terrible things that Mensch says that are ripe for ridicule and venom. Golly gosh, she's hatefuck material." Congratulations, you've now undermined your own point and reduced all of Mensch and her opinions to a plastic Tory gently caress doll for you to intellectually masturbate over how much less of a bad person you are than her.

I meant how you might call someone a 'fuckshit' or a 'dumb fucker', but with 'hateful' - you could end up with 'hatefuck'? Typing this out feels loving dumb, though.

Of course the idea of a hate-gently caress in that sense is awful + something to be ashamed of.

You're correct. I must have missed the subtle wordplay and multi-tiered irony that was buried in that sentence. I guess I just don't have the mental fortitude to truly understand the Voltaire's and Shakespeare's of this thread such as yourself.
