Anyone else find it completely asinine that to watch the original video you must log in to the 4od service?[1] Talk about missing the point. I'm pleased to see it popping up now on third-party sites that can be accessed without logging in.

Good on Channel 4 for airing this (with full knowledge that it would be politically unpopular in the UK) but the login requirement seems like either a huge oversight or a crude practical joke. Maybe this was a restriction put in place by the video's creator?

I suspect I wasn't the only one to create a new throwaway account on 4od to watch the video this morning.
