The kids are alright



Serotonin works in a fancy pants office with a widescreen TV. In the reception area. On mute. So its not a constant source of education and enlightenment during the day. But passing it by upon returning from a comfort break, I couldnt fail to notice the shocking news as to what those scoundrels at Blue Peter have been up to. Ok, so for the reasons outlined above, I kind of did miss it. But God didn't invent the news ticker for people like me to wallow in ignorance. From what I gather, Blue Peter shafted innocent kids out of money via some phone-in scam. They compounded this by having Richard Bacon on telling city kids how to score good gear, installed a Damien Hirst installation into the Blue Peter Garden of a naked elderly man lying on his back urinating (in formaldehyde), and admitted that their Blue Peter badges were made primarily from sharp objects and asbestos. Whilst Serotonin stands by his claim that he misses Countdown since "The Man" came calling, he can't help but feel that, widescreen TV or no widescreen TV, he aint missing much else.
