Madeline: The Movie

The Madeline McCann film is a subject I can’t leave alone. Let’s ignore the fact the story was dismissed as untrue today (or at the very least the moral outrage caused someone to see sense) because it spoils things too much, and let’s ignore the murky morals of the McCann case, frankly it’s another blog all together which other writers have covered with more eloquence than I can currently be bothered to conjure this morning. The idea of Maddy: The Movie (as the tabs inevitably put it) is too irresistible a concept to not take further.

So, Thatjokeisntfunny productions proudly present the motion picture event of the decade. You’ll cry, you’ll quake with fear, you’ll shudder in disgust at the reactions of your own nation and it’s media. It’s a gripping tale of vengeance and plotting, with a spiral of twists each deepening the mystery. The best thing is, we don’t even know how it’ll end yet.

Ladies and gentleman we present: MADELINE!

Oh…hang on…

Better rethink that.

Ladies and gentleman we present: Pretty and Missing: the McCann Story.

*please note Thatjokeisn’tfunnyanymore hopes for the safe return of Madeline McCann to her family. We don’t want to get into the shit over this. Unless they did it of course, in which case she's probably better off without them.
