The other day I was searching for my favourite spoof infographic ever. It's at 5:27 in this clip from the Christopher Morris satire series, Brass Eye, that appeared in the UK in the late 90's. But while searching I also came across this montage of some of the best clips from his earlier satire project, The Day Today:
While this was surreal satire in 1994, it looks terrifyingly like the much of the news does today, now. Don't miss the "Currency Cat", another classic infographic at 5:30.
You might also recognize Morris as Denholm from the hilarious comedy series, "The IT Crowd". If by some chance you haven't seen it, it's available in the US on Netflix streaming.
"This is the news; God, I wish it weren't." Classic.

Never trust fallible memory. Trust infallible IMDB.

Thanks for the link cm, but unfortunately it's blocked in the US. :(
