Remember the video about The Daily Mail? Well, here’s another adorable and clever English fellow tearing apart a crappy “news” rag: this time, it’s CharlieIsSoCoolLike on Heat magazine:
Seriously, subscribe to him. He’s fabulous and he’s a skeptic and Stephen Fry does his outro!
Hey, that’s me! Yay ^_^
All Womens magazines are evil…
I’ve always just stayed well clear of them.
I stick with New Scientist!
Sidenote: Charlie and his videos are wonderful!
A young person more interested in politics than entertainment news? Obviously a fraud as this is *not* the image of young people that the Daily Mail tells me – he’s not even wearing a hoodie.
Did you notice the totally cool image on his monitor?

@coollike:
I’ve just been watching a bunch of your videos. You’re pretty awesome. I like the fact that you really dissect pop culture phenomena in an intelligent way.
Charlie Brooker on so-called ‘Real Life’ magazines:

Heat is a seriously creepy read though. People look at the photo and think ‘ooh look it’s Tess Daly’ or whatever, forgetting that if you could see the wider picture you’d see a fat ugly bloke shoving his camera in their face.
Celebrities should be allowed to chase paparazzi, and if they catch them they’re allowed to smash their camera. It would make the pictures more interesting, anyway.
I love the fact that I kept having this question in the back of my head during the entire video, and then at the very end he answered it.
This video needs debunking.. Intelligent and worldly young people are obviously a hoax…. And Rebecca, do you have a cite for your “adorable,” comment?
mhmm.
By a totally weird coincidence, I just watched one of his videos on YouTube last night after doing a search for “acapella duets”. Had never heard of Charlie before then, and now to see him today on Skepchick? Definitely a WTF moment!
When I become dictator there will be a stupidity tax. The stupider I think a thing is, the higher it will be taxed. Celebrity magazines will be in the 200% bracket.
AHHH now i know what Heat is, i just watched an episode of the IT crowd where it came up. i mean i made an assumption and all but this was very informative.
He is indeed both adorable and clever! <3 Carl Sagan tee, as well.
OMG He’s so adorable, I want to eat him!
Love it! I’ll bang him! lol oh wait I’ll go back on topic- Reminds me of my mom’s horrible People magazine. It should be called “Slutty Celebrity” magazine in my opinion.
That was excellent work. And Charlie is obviously cool since he and I have the same computer screen background. SUB-scribed!
