Red Nose Day: Dancing Evan Davis

Our Evan, fillmed earlier, 'busting some serious moves' outside Broadcasting House for Comic Relief.
I wonder if that's how she dances at The Hoist?
Please give generously etc etc.

Comic Relief 2: Equality Street

Pretty lame as a piece of music, but I thought this was a great piss-take of the banalaties of "I'd like to teach the world to sing"/"Why can't we all just get along?" a/political Pop - and perhaps of much of Comic Relief.
The Gays - who we must pretend to like now - come in at one minute and two minutes in.
The look of barely concealed "liberal" disgust on both their faces is totes hilair!

Update: Yes, I know these videos keep getting deleted, so don't write in. Actually please do - send me an email if this one also disappears into the ether. Thanks. 

Comic Relief: A National Joke

Cause gay marriage - like fellas in dresses - is funny...

The Sun Vs Comic Relief: Taking The Michael

This is The Sun's inimitable take on last night's Comic Relief.
The actual sketch, Smithy Saves Red Nose Day - which began with James Corden picking George Michael up from prison - was actually quite funny.
Enjoy!

Transphobia: Funny Girls

This week Trans Media Watch launched their Memorandum of Understanding.
They hope other media organisations will follow Channel 4's lead and sign up to improve their coverage of transgender people and issues.
Fagburn really hopes the tabloids take notice; for them if someone is trans they're only ever frightening or funny, often both.
Coverage is almost always gratuitous, offensive, disrespectful, ill-informed and cruel - and someone being transsexual is a story in itself (By way of example here's a story from The Sun that ticks every box).
Coincidentally, this week Comic Relief launched its official single for 2011, a cover of I Know Him So Well by Susan Boyle and the Peter Kay character Geraldine (formerly Gerry) McQueen.
Of course, there's nothing intrinsically wrong with having a transsexual comedy character.
But how often does TV Land allow trans people to be anything else but mere figures of fun, to provide some comic relief?
