I, Partridge: We Need to Talk About Alan

I, Partridge: We Need to Talk About Alan, new book, an "autobiography" by fictional character Alan Partridge, who actor Steve Coogan let loose on the years ago in the TV show Knowing Me, Knowing You, and later two series of I'm Alan Partridge.
Steve Coogan reads the book in the style of Alan Partridge, but it was apparently written by three-four people.

Alan Partridge is an interesting character. It's hard to say if he's a genuine a-hole, or if he's just really a mediocre blowhard, really self-centered, and extremely oblivious to the way he is coming across and the way he is treating other people. But in any case, if you're in a certain mood, it's really funny, both the shows and the book. The character has lots of zealous fans and it's one that Steve Coogan clearly has been struggling to step beyond.

Actually, your wonderful web site with nice naked females in all their natural splendor is what counts.

The 'humor' in this video is so lame.

Eolake, the only sanity left in this world is the sight of a nicely shaped female body.

The rest? who cares. Anyway I haven't found any tv or film actually humorous for a few years now.

When I lose the delight in your nudes it will be time for me to check out.

Another idiot who won't back up his inane opinions.

Please, tell me that day is coming soon.

dream on, dream on
"oh mighty ship of State.
to the shores of Need
past the reefs of greed
through the squalls of hate."

L.Cohen

images are shadows
our love of them
only leads to hate.
Isn't mankind more
than these baby bottles
in the dream?

A pathetic attempt to apply something inappropriately. Cohen was talking about something specific there which you didn't understand. Stupid people who try too hard to be this kind of "can't we all get along" Super PC Mr. Rogers type are hilarious.

Why, exactly? Do you know, or are you just one of those people who like being outraged? At least you're thinking of the children!
