Louis Theroux’s Forbidden America (BBC2)
Rating:
The Promise (BB4)
Rating:
Approaching the door of a far-Right U.S.internet troll, Louis Theroux pledged to keep his cool. ‘I will be attempting to maintain my composure,’ he murmured.
Well, yes. He’s Louis Theroux. Perfect composure comes as standard. That’s like Billy Connolly assuring us he’ll tell a few funny stories, or Mary Whitehouse promising to keep her clothes on.
The troll, Серіали з українською озвучкою – https://uakino.pl/13974-nadia-batterfliai.html an infantile man called Tim whose online name is Baked Alaska, makes money by broadcasting live video of himself on the streets of Tampa, Florida.
Viewers donate a dollar or two to see him hurl insults at passers-by or play Nazi marching songs from a speaker round his neck.
Moments after Louis joined him, in the first of a three-part documentary, Forbidden America (BBC2), a fan called Doomersquidward stumped up $100.
Louis Theroux can be an incisive interview, but he barely needed to open his mouth before these gibbering man-babies lost their tempers in BBC2’s ‘Forbidden America’
That seemed such a fortuitous coincidence, you might almost wonder if Mr Alaska had set it up.
Louis didn’t ask, and he didn’t need to.
Nothing he could do or say would make the troll look any more pathetic than he already did.
This flabby, desperate show-off was one of a growing tribe of ineffectual young men with no social life who meet through online video games.
‘It’s the new golf course,’ says their 22-year-old self-styled leader.
His name is Nicholas J.Fuentes and he hosts a nightly online chat show that, at first glance, looks almost professional.
With a city nightscape behind him, he leans on a desk and inveighs against Jews, Muslims, gays and journalists.
