Private Eye Pseuds Corner

Issue 1635

"Multipack bags of crisps are only five grammes heavier than the reduced chocolate rations handed to surveilled citizens in George Orwell’s nightmare, Nineteen Eighty-Four. Is 25g all our appetite is worth? Are crisps enough?... Crisps need actors to come to life. What kind of theatre does that make us?"
