@Lionrock: about an hour from now our US comrades will see this and wonder what you’re on about. Then they’ll look it up. Are you sure you want to inflict Mr C and his salmon on them?
“A chilling depiction of future youth… hordes of teenagers dancing away the night in a haze of drugs and hypnotic electronic music… the feast they call ‘The Ravening’.”

@Tat Wood – it seems suitable retaliation for Miley Cyrus.
