That Gurdian link now reads:

The final sentence of a column in The Guide on Saturday caused offence to some readers. The Guardian associates itself with the following statement from the writer.
"Charlie Brooker apologises for any offence caused by his comments relating to President Bush in his TV column, Screen Burn. The views expressed in this column are not those of the Guardian. Although flippant and tasteless, his closing comments were intended as an ironic joke, not as a call to action - an intention he believed regular readers of his humorous column would understand. He deplores violence of any kind.".

Quote:
Well, it seems the U.S. Secret Service isn't finding much humor in this situation, either.

I can't imagine that there's anything for them to prosecute, but I hope Mr. Brooker doesn't have his heart set on any Florida vacations or a trip to Yosemite.
