Charlie Brooker article

Poor A-levels? Don't despair. Just lie on job application forms.

Article
- Brooker establishes the cliche of showing attractive teenage girls on the front of newspapers,on results day and talks about how his grades were not great.
- He always talks off how he didnt go to oxbridge but to a average band univeristy and he was lazy throughtout his learning history but still has done well for himself.
- Brooker then finishes the article by saying that most people should lie on their CVs instaed of paying £9000 on univeristy fees ,and that they dont really check a persons qualifications.


Quotes
"According to the Mirror, Badminton school responded to criticism by saying: "We always do this and, to be honest, most girls are attractive at 18." So that's a school, then, talking like a dirty dad. It probably rubbed its hands on its thighs as it said it."

 "But then English lit was easy to pass: it was a bullshitting exam in which you simply wrote what the examiner wanted to read and got away with it."

"So if in doubt, lie about your qualifications. It may be dishonest, but it's also £9,000 cheaper than any university course."
