anyone who watched TV1 in the '90's should know... we had several seasons of the Noel Edmonds show... Mr Blobby, Crinkley Bottom, etc

You poor bastards.

John spilt his water all over the table with less than 30 seconds to mop it up with his tie before…

Yes, Wellington is good for you. After…

Secret ingredient until the authorities twigged: ephedrine.

Oh hell yes. I didn't know when I was using them – damn, that was a LOOOOONG time ago – but they were good. I've had ephedrine from the US (as sold by EAS (and 100's of others) until they banned it in…

But none of you Kiwi's probably have the faintest who cuddly old Noel is.

Bring back "the bomb", I say :)

Russell – the paperwork for whatever has been 'patented'…

Grapefruit is a scary thing, esp for women on the pill. Basicly makes it like they never took the pill. Seriously. It's well…

Russel you might want to ammend your article to say lightyears party pills different company.

No, it's definitely Stargate, although the company name's different on that packet for the British market. I have a press release from Matt Bowden saying so.

Its on the packet.

Bit embarrasing to hear one of your writers saying incorrect information on national radio :(

Grapefruit are scary

Heh, good old xkcd. It's a pity too, because they grow like weeds. My tree produced about 100 kg of grapefruit every year. I used to juice it, but now I'm on medication that clashes with it, I decided to use it for rootstock and hacked the…

Watch the other Brasseye episodes too, you wont be diasppointed.

seconded.

without wishing to detract from the brilliance of Media Lunch. You can see where a lot of their ideas came from....in a good way.

Thirded.

The 'Paedogeddon' episode is one of the most hilarious pieces of television ever, an…

Interestingly, it appears that a revamp of the Misuse of Drugs Act to allow for testing and approval of novel recreational drugs is still on the cards

Now this I completely support – shift the onus on to one of proven safety, rather than moral panic. If it could subsequently…

Back in the mid 90s Chris Morris and co. fooled some British MPs and celebs into believeing there was new drug called Cake that was killing younguns. One MP even asked a question in Parliament about whether the…

Along with grapefruit...

Grapefruit are scary

Along with grapefruit, they're forbidden fruit for people on certain kinds of heart and blood pressure medication. These fruits quadruple the effects of the medication in an unpredictable way. They can literally kill you.

Watch your marmalade…

Meanwhile, big ups to TV3's David Farrier for the excellent April Fool's Day report (well, I hope that's what it was) on jenkem that aired on Tuesday evening.

Speaking of jenkem, The Onion's AV Club has an amusing feature called Don't bogart that jenkem: 18 fictional drugs.

If you want one for fun, you have a choice of two (which have been extensively tested and found to be thoroughly…

The video from last night's first Media7 show has been encoded and will be uploaded later this morning. I'll let you know in a separate post as soon as that happens.

Oh good; I was wondering how I was going to get my serious TV fix.

Can someone please send the link to Jacqui Dean's office.... please.

I can't due to my email being pretty much blacklisted.

Saw that report on Nightline, and my first thought was it has to be an April first joke. (And of of course they later confirmed that it was).
Sad thing was, that Fox that they got some of the footage off,…
