As I was pondering our inevitable destruction at the hands of the mind-menace, Derren Brown, and his ongoing invasion (and our advice to survive here and here) I thought: surely, surely all cannot be lost. There must be a champion who can save us from Derren’s psyche-groping dominance.
Look at him up there–with a devil whispering in his ear and such.
And then–the thought struck me–! The answer was staring me right in the face! Well, metaphorically anyway.
There is one man who might be able to save us. That’s right, Mr. Brown. We have somebody who hears from devils too.
