So - he's been nominated for two awards for the Paedophile thing he did..
should he get them?
Did his programme show us up and make a valid point or was he totally out of order?

I understand what he was tryin to do with the programme but it didnt work because it just wasnt clever enough and fell short even of stupid
He didmake valid points about how crazy uneducated people get - to the point where they try to burn down a paediatricians house because they think she's a paedophile.
At the time the programme was made things were so out of control in this country as far as awareness of the paedophile problem goes and I think he was spot on.

However i'm not sure it merited an award <IMG SRC="confused.gif" border="0" ALT="icon">
I dont think its a work of genius though..People seem to be going to both extremes about that program. It was reasonably funny and pretty accurate to life but it wasnt a work of genius.
Most ironic thing is the reaction it got was just as over the top as he was suggesting...thus making the joke for him...
Yeah, they did excatly what he was taking the piss out of. I wouldnt mind but that programme is about 5 or 6 years old.
It was funny, it was witty and incisive, but I dont know about award-winning. Comapred to most 'comedy' on the telly at the moment it probably was genius though.
