Charlie Brooker is a pretty well known personality in the UK and he makes TV shows and writes columns in this kind of ranting hyperbolic style, in no way is it supposed to be taken seriously.

I'm a fan, his shows like Newswipe and Screenwipe are worth a look if you can find a copy.

He had a great line in his tv review at the weekend, was something like "the tv show presenters had the kind of chemistry that would get a swimming pool closed for 25 years"

He also used to be a video games reviewer and is doing a one off Gameswipe as part of BBC Four's Electric Revolution series about the rise of technology in the 80s:
