Ex-Twat speaks...
More on Nathan Barley...
Neil Boorman, formerly of Shoreditch Twat, weighs in on the merits of Nathan Barley (see earlier post. Seems I didn't stick the Twat link in that post for nothing) in an article for The Times.
Do you think he's bitter cos he satirised those arrested development new-media types already without a prime-time show on Channel 4? Nah. Cast aside such unworthy thoughts. He had a late-night show on Channel 4.
More credibility, y'see? 8o)
He seems to miss the point, though (when he's not listing impeccable credentials from his CV). From the trailers, the programme seems to be lampooning anyone involved in that scene who take themselves far too seriously.
Sorry to break this to you, Neil, but I think that's you.
You're better than this, son.
Mind you, the last line of the article could be somewhat disingenuous. A series like this could markedly increase the ridicule factor of consumers when confronted with things like this and this.

"Ex-Twat speaks..."
Misreading, I thought that was the title of your blog for an instant. I think it's still a cool title, even though it isn't.

Nah, if I called the blog "Ex-Twat Speaks...", I'd be deluged by people querying the 'ex'....
