ok, confession: when i first heard the customer service bit, i didn’t know what to make of it as it does sound plausible. i am a recent convert to oreo cookies – the coated in white chocolate variety. maybe you will like charlie brooker’s ‘gameswipe’ if you’re sampling video game documentaries:

and i still don’t care about what’s happening with ‘star wars’.
