Charlie Brooker: Bad meat and angry meteors

One peculiar consequence of the horse meat story is that just about every news bulletin for the past 10 days has featured stock footage of the inside of an abattoir. I'm fairly confident I could now eat sandwiches in a field-hospital tent during a civil war.

Charlie Brooker on the Daily Mail getting offended

This is fusty, old-school outrage, spluttered in your mind's eye by a swivel-eyed ex-colonel with dangerously high blood pressure. But because it flopped, it's actually sort of poignant, like watching an old man ineffectually waving his fist as they concrete the duckpond and put up a Nando's.

Charlie Brooker's 2012 Wipe - Brief Thoughts

For what it's worth, this round-up format always seems kinda rushed to me, and I'd like to see him pick a few bigger topics and do more detailed pieces.
