Another satirist - Chris Morris



"The comedian has repeatedly exposed the willingness of celebrities to talk rubbish if it enhances a solicitous image. On one episode of Brass Eye, he persuaded well-known figures such as Noel Edmonds to pontificate to the British nation of the dangers of an utterly fictitious recreational drug called "Cake". A Conservative MP was so taken in by Morris he even brought the issue of "Cake" up at Question Time in the House of Commons. But when it was all revealed as nonsense, Morris was subsequently fired by Channel Four."
