A very popular show, even on this side of
the Pond - that is, if your notion of "popular" is limited to
lumpenproletariat. Anyone who left school after the age of 16 would not want to be caught watching that stuff
That thing is
frightening. I mean,
really frightening. It's a good thing that almost nobody here understands

"There are exactly two kinds of people in the world :
Good Guys and
Bad Guys. Good Guys' job is to clean Bad Guys from the surface of the
free world by any possible mean (
especially including
violence), because after all, the
Bad Guys do not deserve to live - if
God had put a
human soul in them they would be
Good Guys, wouldn't they ?"
This sounds pretty much like showing a big board with "Advice to
wannabe-
rightist dictators : excellent
opportunities on the
Texan market" written on it.
