    The Brass Eye special 'Paedogeddon!' by Chris Morris, a black-comedy satire of British media moral panic that duped celebrities and politicians into endorsing nonsense. It is the final episode of the series.

    HN cites it as the classic satire of moral panics, especially when child-safety or illegal-image legislation is discussed.

    1. @tripzilchMar 2017· in “Man jailed indefinitely for refusing to decrypt hard drives loses appeal”

      > parodied well here: [LINK] You may enjoy Chris Morris in this Brass Eye special "Paedogheddon": this video (if you enjoy absurdism and black comedy -- I find absurdism to be an especially good fit for satirizing the Kafkaesque)

    2. @J-dawgJan 2017· in “Club Penguin is shutting down”

      It also reminds me of "Pantou the dog" [0] from Brass Eye [1] (created by the same person as Four Lions), which successfully duped several British celebrities and politicians. That particular episode caused media hysteria when it came out. [0] this video [1] [LINK]

    3. @petercooperAug 2021· in “MP Maria Miller wants AI 'nudifying' tool banned”

      Chris Morris did an interesting satirical piece on this in Brass Eye where he placed photos of children alongside slightly less savory material and asked the former head of the Obscene Publications Branch if they were illegal or not: this video
