Wildly erratic, fiercely unapologetic, self-confessed smart-arse Jim Goad has experienced years of marginalisation as a left-field author and more recently, as a pop culture commentator (peppered with some prison time for various 'misunderstandings'). Goad was Co Author of the ANSWER Me! series of 'hate comics' which have been blamed for (amongst other things) a high-powered rifle attack on the White House. He has also published several books; 'The Redneck Manifesto', 'Shit Magnet', 'Jim Goad's Gigantic Book of Sex' and the comic strip 'Trucker Fags in Denial'.

Jim's books are all available from Amazon.. They might help you grow a brain (or better yet, an opinion).
Charlie BrookerThe brain behind one of the smartest critical blogs of the last 10 years TV Go Home, which gave birth to Nathan Barley. Barley, a monster in the mould of now defunct leaflet terrorists Shoreditch Twat leapt onto TV screens as a collaboration between Brooker and legendary troublemaker Chris Morris and proved to be an almost completely (and uncomfortably) accurate prophecy of Noughties 'cool' culture.
Mr Brooker now writes a regular column 'Screen Burn' for the Guardian decoding the TV signals which enter our homes and bombard our brains each night.
