I don't quite understand what you're trying to point at :p

Brasseye is a comedy news spoof, and at times is rather funny :p

Bit of a synchronicity here because I've just discovered this. It's Chris Morris again, but not about celebrities. It's The Day Today and it's actually about 9/11, sort of, and funny without being offensive (to me anyway)

The way I saw it, part of the function of Brass Eye was to highlight the fact that a lot of celebrities will do and say anything just to be on TV, and can easily be manipulated into making themselves look stupid - easy if you're as good at it as Chris Morris is.

My all-time favourite was getting Noel Edmonds to say that this made up drug (and they did say that it was made up) called cake affects the area of the brain called "Shatner's Bassoon", which deals with time, and that some poor kid got run over because he thought he had a month to cross the road.

I also like it in The Office when Brent takes the piss out of Noel Edmonds not being on TV any more, and the bastard has gone and ruined it by becoming the irritating face of one of the most irritating programmes ever (irritating purely because of Noel Edmonds).

I really don't like Noel Edmonds (http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=noel+edmonds). I don't know whether that's coming across or not.

Whoever made the YouTube - Broadcast Yourself. deserves lots of happiness.

:D I would say so..

Morris is a genius in my view. He made me immune to the news through the day today and brasseye. Brasseye is so close to the bone it is untrue, this clip is just an example..

Yep, comedy genius, I agree. He knows exactly how it's done.

Chris Morris and Steve Coogan were really a dream team:
