I like Viz. Well, I liked Viz i should say. It was superbly funny and strangely sophisticated for toilet humour when i was a teenager. So, more than a decade later, they made a film of "The Fat Slags" - probably the most outright offensive strip in it.
Cue cameo appearances from people who will forever regret it : the movie bombed without much of a trace. Infact i hadn't the slightest clue it was finished let alone released.
So : not only was it worse than the abomination that was "Sex Lives of The Potato Men". It's also worse than the laden-with-british-comedy-talent "Churchill : The Hollywood Years". That's some achievement.
What's more : Viz have decided the films sheds such a bad light on the Magazine, they're ending the original strip in the 25th Anniversary issue, which is due out soon. Blimey.
