Paul Ross on 20 inch canvas print

Tuesday 16th December 2008 · 2 Comments

For those who saw Charlie Brooker’s Screenwipe a few weeks ago, this Amazon review for a print of Paul Ross should delight:

I can’t recommend this picture of entertainer Paul Ross enough. I, like you, am an ardent fan of his effortless presenting style - the way he reads the autocue like a poet reading Wordsworth; his intimate interview questions that probe deeper than a million Parkinsons ever could; the chilling way he brings horror stories to life, his voice a beautiful yet terrifying portal to a mystifying otherworld.

Amazon reviewers haven’t left it there, however, as this seemingly innocuous print currently has 40 reviews.

    I can’t take any credit myself, but the first bunch of “reviews” were made by some of the regulars at PocketMonkey.co.uk

    Ah, I wondered why I was getting so many hits from their forum.

    Good job guys!
