A brand-new era of Spitting Image begins with The Rest is Bulls*!t… specially created, original short-form vodcast episodes, for all those wanting to laugh in the face of these anxiety inducing, squeaky bum times of global conflict, unhinged world leaders and megalomaniac Fin Tech bosses. The (latex) gloves are off and it’s not pulling any punches. This isn’t just satire. It’s a no holds barred up-to-the-minute assault on the world of politics, pop culture and media control.

In this video, I discuss the implications of this wild Verge clip. Is Windows still inevitable? Will YOUR kids grow up in a future where consumer laptops with Windows on them don’t even exist? Let’s talk about it!

However, YouTube made some tweets today, which they have since deleted, that show the exact template they use to send mass replies to YouTubers. Let me know what you guys think about this situation in the comments below.
