I'm reminded of a Viz punchline "I haven't laughed so much since I watched Lorenzo's Oil" :D

 

:rolleyes:

 

Speaking of Viz, there was a feature in the Times the other day about parents raising their children without gender stereotyping. I always thought that "The Modern Parents" was a caricature of such dickheads but these real life examples were even worse!

Not a film as such, but I've just seen it's on now, it's called The Two Escobars, I've seen it before but am ganna watch it now. It's one of the best docufilms I've ever seen in my life. It's and Pablo Escobar who basically was the biggest crook in the world, and Andres Escobar, not related, who was the bloke who got shot for scoring that own goal in USA 94. It's fuckin fascinating, although Pablo was the biggest cocaine dealer in the world he basically ran Colombia, and there was some sort of order, the underworld was kept in check, he was the daddy, and he pumped a lot of his £3 billion fortune in to developing the country and helping the poor. Reading between the lines the yanks and others conspired against him, he ended up dead, and the whole of Colombia went in to meltdown. The underworld placed a lot of money on Colombia to beat USA at the World Cup, Andres Escobar scored the own goal which condemned them to defeat and was shot dead on his return to Bogota. Honestly if yous have ESPN Classic stick it on, it's all in Spanish with subtitles but it's one of the best things you'll ever watch. Jonny2J would love this, missed half it like ganna watch the rest, it's a belta show.
