If you don't like Brand you definitely shouldn't go to YouTube and watch his "Parklife" skit.

An attempt to to take control of the situation no doubt, it could've become a monster that destroyed him, remember what Bo' Selecta and Kes did to Craig David.

The guy who first tweeted it has it nailed;

Dan told BBC Newsbeat: "I enjoyed the video and found it pretty funny, though I'm not totally surprised that a week of difficult brainstorming with his vast PR army, and a Hollywood-sized production budget resulted in a funny response to a mild 140-character observation."

"If I'm honest I think he's done a great job of turning it round from a PR point of view, and hopefully boring people so much with the word 'PARKLIFE!' that it may limit the amount of times people shout it at him in future."

Have seen an interesting and alarming documentary.

All the "best" documentaries are interesting and alarming. The ones that tell you the stuff you already know, or think you know are the boring ones.

Going by the influx of these 'hard hitting' exposés appearing on Netflix, it would seem it is a new - and presumably profitable - way of making a start in the entertainment industry.

How come these pass as the sworn-truth, but we still have the cheek to complain about sensationalist newspapers?!
