a comedian uncovers the nexus between politicians, media and industry at an awards ceremony

Nice read. From this and from earlier articles and videos, I'm starting to really respect this one celeb figure.

"I don't know. I do have some good principles picked up that night that are generally applicable: the glamour and the glitz isn't real, the party isn't real, you have a much better time mucking around trying to make your mates laugh. I suppose that's obvious. We all know it, we already know all the important stuff, like: don't trust politicians, don't trust big business and don't trust the media. Trust your own heart and each another. When you take a breath and look away from the spectacle it's amazing how absurd it seems when you look back" -- Russel Brand
