Here, let us all have an Important Debate over whether this flannel-clad "Jonnie Marbles" character who attempted to pie Rupert Murdoch during Parliament's hacking inquiry is the last True Hero in the dying human civilization project known briefly as "democracy," or a flannel-clad comedian who is merely distracting everyone from the real issues with his relatively unoriginal but historically-respected gesture to humiliate the much-loathed media mogul. Oh, and there's always the "ITS A GIANT INSIDE JOB CONSPIRACY BY MURDOCK TO GET SYPMATHY" angle too, don't forget. Humor website The New York Times has slowed down the video, to aid in the debate.
