what does everyone reckon to this??

I think "Wouldn't it be impressively clever of you if you copied the text into this forum because that saves the rest of us from having to join that group, and so having to wait for the moderator to approve our membership, and all to read what is highly likely to be another stupid hoax."

Hi there everybody. Ray Davies here. Or you may know me as Chris
Morris. That's right Chris Morris. it's me. How the hell are you all?
I hope you weren't too upset by my little Tracy Ash fake newspaper
column.
Hell, it was just a bit of fun, and that's what we are here for.
Yeah? Yeah?
Anyway I just want you all to know that it makes me feel just greaaat
as that Tiger used to say, knowing that I have so many fans.
It's always pleasing to get your support. It makes me feel really
happy.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you know that my brand spanking new TV
show 'Brass Eye Special' is in no way targeting you lot. I love you
guys. I think you are fantastic. It's just a humorous look at the
internet and all the crazy stuff that goes on there. If you ever
watched CH4's 'dot comedy' you'll get the general idea. I loved that
show. We have done a similar kind of thing but taken it one step
further.

Anyway, perhaps the guys at cookdandbombd could throw a competition
and whoever wins gets to have lunch with myself and the Brass Eye
team. Perhaps we could get 'off our heads on Ecstasy pipes' ha ha ha.

Take care y'all and make sure you watch my new show on August 2nd.
You can catch my new trailer (the real one this time guys) from July
20th. Must go to bed now because I'm really rather drunk.

See ya..wouldn't want to be ya

Chris Morris (aka Ray Davies aka Tracy Ash)

Mmmmm...authentic.

I think it was written by a little robin that only thinks it's pretending to be Chris Morris when it fact it's really a sort of non-Chris Morris cloud of paranoia designed to make us assume that it's a special robin who can write.

Bob bob bobbin' along...?

Oh do be serious!

im not actually keen on pasting other peoples messages to other groups as messages are intended only for the site it was posted on. Maybe the postee would not like his message to be pasted around the interweb. So i hope you can take your finger off the trigger of your pomposity pistol now.

"Maybe the postee would not like his message to be pasted around the interweb"

But if it was Morris, then surely he would want all his fans to see it. Anyway, it's quite clearly not Morris and if it was, he would deserve a punch in the face for such bollocks.

If the post *was* a fake then surely it would be full of obvious morrisisms? It seems more real because it's 'straight'.

Also, the reference to 'Ecstasy Pipes' is a nice touch, because he's alluding to the way his fans quote his stuff.

So i hope you can take your finger off the trigger of your pomposity pistol now.

groovy phrase.

the press release sounds completely authentic to me.... why not?

besides what's the betting this Brass Eye special thing is going to be shite? might be, might not, but as long as you have yr health eh?

That message is obviously fake, it actually reminds me most of all of the Corpses' God like genius Chris Morris Funnee Talk column more than anything. And Morris alluding to liking Dot Comedy, that clearly means the man has no taste, and I refuse to believe that because he likes the La's. Notice how the Corpses have stayed out of all of these threads, they even did the same during the Tracy Ash ones too, either they're somehow behind this, or just don't want to risk speculating like the rest of us incase they look like idiots when they're proved wrong.

> either they're somehow behind this, or just don't want to risk speculating like the rest of us incase they look like idiots when they're proved wrong.

My guess is the latter, and it's a very wise move...

". If you ever

He just takes what Gail Porter does and extends it...

It sounds very much like a corpse. They always stick their oar into the shenanigans of the moment. It's shameful.

It's so goofy and unlike the stereotyped Morris that it probably is him.

>It's so goofy and unlike the stereotyped Morris that it probably is him.

I agree. If it was a hoax then they would have tried harder to sound like him.

That lunch with the brasseye crew. The only person I'd know would be Chris, and I'm terribly awkward around strangers - I'd probably drop some tea in Chris' lap, and then he might make fun of me in his next Brasseye.

he say: "Drop-ed some tea Arsecandle, Jessup, Jessup, Jessup"
