Someone in the Sun's graphics department is clearly a Chris Morris fan.

About Me
- Adam Macqueen
- I'm one of the team of hacks at Private Eye magazine, where I've worked on and off since 1997. I'm also an editorial lieutenant on Popbitch (not sure what it means: we made up the job titles in the pub). I've written for a number of other newspapers and magazines, been a co-presenter on LBC, a regular newspaper reviewer on Sky News and written a biography of the Victorian businessman and philanthropist William Lever. My first novel, Topped of the Pops, a comedy thriller, was to be published in May 2008, until the publishers went bust. From 1999-2002 I was deputy editor of The Big Issue.

Most paedos are men, so why does the jigsaw-puzzle background of that graphic feature a woman's face, a face that belongs on the cover of an angsty '60s folk music LP?
And did that paedo parody documentary do Chris Morris in? I've heard nothing of him in years. Maybe it's more to do with my limited exposure to UK media than to how prolific or not he's been.
Lastly, why on earth do some rags such as the Sun feel compelled to run that heartbreaking photo of the late Baby Peter over and over and over and over and over again?!?! It's becoming a running gag a la Madeleine McCann headlines but unlike the Eye's Andrew Neil vest photo...its excessive recurrence is fucking NOT funny!
Re Chris Morris: I heard some very pleasing news about his latest project just yesterday - we should be seeing more from him very soon...
With you on the Baby P photo, by the way. It's become like some of the Twin Towers footage - useful visual shorthand for editors who no longer notice or consider what it actually depicts.
Quite.
But I'm delighted, nearly as much as Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling would be, to hear that Chris Morris is cooking up something new to amuse and confound us.
