Brainstormtroopers I made this!

This was topical when it was commissioned by a TV channel I'm not allowed to name. Then I made it, then some lawyers dicked around for 2 weeks discussing it and now I'm not getting paid and here it is.

I'm glad you leaked it, some men will be round soon to smash your hard drives.

Or parts of the hard drive under direction of the Home Office.

Like a nail isn't good enough...

It was because

they thought it was anti-semitic. We tried to explain that yes, at least one of the *characters* is anti-semitic, but their only suggestion was to cut it to make it more racist against black people.

send it to Charlie Brooker,

he's clever, he wouldn't completely miss the point.

The irony

Did you point out that their suggestion was, in fact, massively racist and missing the entire point of the cartoon?

I did

but (probably luckily) there is a very diplomatic producer between me and the lawyers, so I'm not sure if the message got passed along.

Excellent pitch, let's talk money.

Why are you not allowed to name them?

Did you sign something to say you agreed not to name them?

burning bridges tends to run the risk of not being hired by the same people for future work

It's that. I could name them but then no more work.

Got to double check, these days.

I wonder how long it will be before those lawyers send a takedown notice to the Youtubes.
