He’s practically unknown in the US — which is a crime, I assure you — but is very well-known in the UK for his incredibly funny, clever, and risque satricial comedy shows like "Brass Eye" and "The Day Today".</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.badastronomy.com/bablog/2008/05/06/brass-eye-meets-cern/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.badastronomy.com/img/6769B1EB-9046-4029-9489-74D038F2D8EA" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.badastronomy.com/bablog/2008/05/06/brass-eye-meets-cern/">He is also a science junkie, and while we were all at the Large Hadron Collider he chatted with Brian Cox about what the LHC will do. <A target="_blank" href="http://www.cernpodcast.com/?p=43">The CERN podcast of the interview is now online</A>.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.badastronomy.com/bablog/2008/05/06/brass-eye-meets-cern/"><P>Chris is a very intelligent and funny guy, and the interview may come as a bit of a shock to some fans of his since he really is earnest about the science. But lemme tell ya, Gia showed me some of the "Brass Eye" episodes, and I <EM>have</EM> to get a copy. Wow. Let me just say, it will never ever <EM>ever</EM> <STRONG>ever</STRONG> be broadcast in the US. But I laughed until I cried. <A target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=brass+eye&search_type=">YouTube has some samples</A>… but most are very much NSFW. Check ‘em out, and see how smart people can love science and be really funny, too.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3522408B-7E79-4FB9-8F24-DA501FA92710/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
