Having just had a look at this story I learnt of the existence of 'ethicists', whose job seems to be just to sound off about whether or not something should be allowed to happen. Like, if you wanted to do an experiment then you'd pitch it to a gang of ethicists and they'd go "Yeah, whatever I don't give a shit about black people anyway", or "lol, no way dude, what the hell are you thinking?" So i think I'd like to do that. I reckon it's something I'd really enjoy, and I could feel like I was really putting my mark on society, which is what society needs.

I was reading earlier about an anthropologist who offered to pay local people a fixed amount of money for every piece of human bone they found at a site he was investigating in China.

Apparently he had to change the rules when he realised that they were finding excellent examples of large pieces of intact bone, then smashing them up into little bits to get the extra cash.

In that spirit I think I'd like to go around the world tricking idiots that had more money than sense. I think I'd watch a few episodes of The Real Hustle and just then set off and see what I could do. They make it look pretty easy, and I don't suppose they show the programme anywhere else so no one there know the tricks.

No. Thora Birch is embarrassingly bad. Damn near unwatchable. Can't comment on the comic book.

Comic book is just as bad. The sort of thing people (idiot people) wheel out and go "Ahh! Look comics aren't just about superheroes! Ahh!"

Surely the best things Scarlett Johansson has been in are The Man Who Wasn't There and The Prestige.

Lloyd Llewellyn (another Clowes creation), however, is ace - sexy, stupid, hip, boozy, cool, uncool, shite, stylish, scruffy, jazz, everything really.

Sort of.
