...And now, a bit from the British T.V. comedy show, "Nathan Barley", the tale of a horrid, smug little 'media node' called Nathan Barley, and his nemesis, a writer by the name of Dan Ashcroft. In this bit, Dan is looking for a job from the editor of an "Urban Youth Lifestyle" magazine, by the name of Jonathon Yeah?. Jon is just dealing with the press over his magazine's latest issue, where they court controversy by running photos of 'underage' girls being 'molested' by the magazine editors.
Jonathon: Oh, dear. Well, I hope we haven't upset ABSOLUTELY everyone?
(pause while the person on the other end of the phone is talking)
Jonathon: For the 'new-es'? I'll do an interview at six. (He hangs up.) Good party, Dan?
Dan: (humble, embarrassed. He nods. Paper is dropping out of his jacket.)
Jonathon:(referring to the bits of paper) You're leaking.
We see bits of paper, actually the racy inserts for Jon's magazine's latest 'controversial' issue, plopping out of Dan's jacket.
Dan: Erm...Can I...I need some money...
Jonathon: Probably.
Dan: Can I do a feature?...
Jonathon puts his finger to his cheek sarcastically, looks off, then says: But, Dan...Last time I had to write it for you because you went a bit...
