Tim Minchin is amazing. I love how genuinely angry he gets about stuff. So many comics these days are too cool to be genuinely bothered about stuff.

Oxytocin spray produces significantly higher emotional empathy levels in men
I feel a spoof PSA video that will never be made coming on - a dark street, a women walking alone, a man jumps out at her, pushes her roughly against a wall, she fights, struggling with her handbag, eventually pulling out a spray and getting him square in the face. Mace? He staggers back, hands over his face, crying out in... no, not physcial pain - he pulls his hands away and his eyes are clear, but... filled with tears?

"I'm so sorry," he says. "I'm so, so sorry."
