Where journalists have greatness thrust upon them
A short video by Charlie Brooker, explaining the perfect way to make a news video package.
Mere weeks after the passing of metal legend Ronnie James Dio, comes the shocking and tragic news that Paul Grey, bassist and co-founder of Des Moines based metal band Slipknot, has died.
Full story here.

Speaking as a fan of both the man and the band, this a sad day. RIP.
Amongst all the doom and gloom in the news these days, a funny little story caught my eye earlier today. It appears that a Polish newspaper has confused the infamous 'Pedobear' meme with an Olympic mascot. Apologies to those who don't understand the reference.

The Internet would like to extend a collective 'facepalm' to the editor of the Gazeta Olsztynska.
For those unfamiliar with his work, previous examples of Marilyn Manson's art include dressing as the Pope (and being banned from Italy as a consequence), appearing as a mutilated rendition of Christ on the cover of his 2000 album 'Holy Wood', and using controversial imagery such as post-autopsy infants in his artwork. Due to his shambolic performance at Download Festival earlier this year, many have proclaimed Manson to be a 'falling star', stoking the dying embers of a career. However, his new music video proves that there's as much vitriol left in him as ever.
Despite this being quite possibly the most epic headline of all time, it's actually true.
Here's the story for anyone who's interested.
Okay, so the story might be from way back in June, but bear with me! The actual 'bombing' is supposed to take place tomorrow morning.
