The Brass Eye controversy being billed as the ultimate low point of tabloid culture upthread there - happier times, eh?

Much of the reasoning expressed upthread still works, but I wonder if anyone would be willing to give an enthusiastic "no!" in 2017.

I think a lot of my favourite stuff right now is harking back to older eras/aesthetics, though that's probably me getting older, my own biases and laziness as much as anything else.

Pengest Munch is a good counter-argument though.
