the law of the playground

Oh, We're On Telly Again

It's too late to catch the first episode now, but if you're the kind of person who likes watching people more famous and successful having memories ten times more glamourous and amusing than anything in your own shineless headbanks, then the second series of Law of the Playground is currently being shown on Channel 4, on Friday nights.

Them's some primetime bananas, my friends, and if you're one of those houses with the boxes that affect viewing figures, we'd greatly appreciate it if you watched it. Let's get that tricky third series commissioned!

Readers, I'm afraid that it's time for us to get MEAN. Consider "Humphrey":

Back in 2003, Humphrey discovered the website that is The Law of the Playground and he saw that it was good. Racking his brains, Humphrey posted a funny and to Humphrey's delight, the funny was approved and Humphrey was well pleased. And all his friends thought he was ace.

Fast forward to 2008. Humphrey has moved on in the world. Humphrey is head of Department at the prestigious St. Henry Hoover's College of Possibly Racist Joke Studies and Household Appliance Fucking.

But Humphrey has a dark past. Because lurking on the internet, there is a story entitled "touching your bum and then wiping the sweat on the supply teacher's sandwiches" and guess whose name's written all over it?

So the morals of this story are.

1. Please read the fucking FAQ before you submit.

2. IF YOU HAVE DONE A VANITY GOOGLE SEARCH AND YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT YOU'VE FOUND, THEN TOUGH TITS. YOU DON'T OWN THE INTERNET, DO YOU?

Well, that was interesting, wasn't it? Our hosting company decided that they'd really rather like to share all of our source code with you lucky lot over the last week.

The fact that there was anything left of the site to resurrect is frankly astonishing to me. I had fully expected that we'd be hosting child porn by now.

Still, it could be worse. We could all be working for HMRC. Eh? EH?

As many of you'll know, The Law of the Playground has already appeared on TV. You might even have seen the star-studded A-List cavalcade, in which Liza Minelli howled in appreciation of her own memories about trumping in assembly, and Madonna banged on about getting her tits slapped with a ruler.

Last week, the excitement was cranked up 3-7 notches when we appeared on Celebrity Come Dine With Me, in David Quantick's toilet.

Get behind us, we're starting a conga around the internet! Oh, and there's another LotP series out next year, too.

Ooh, we can access the site again. This means that there might finally be a space to watch.
