Upvoted because it's criticising the un-united shithole of america with satire and also because people need to be made aware of the history of america that conservatives want to hide from you

Philomena Cunk was written by Charlie Brooker, who also has written Black Mirror, Dead Set, Death to 2020 and A Touch of Cloth.
