Bang 'em up!
I worked for a Young Offenders Institution – or Youth Prison.
To keep the criminals docile and prevent embarrassing problems like riots and protests, they’re all given tvs in their cells. The best behaved ones get Playstations, (although this was a few years ago, they’ve probably been updated to Xboxes by now). This is common practise in a lot of jails, as is regular access to a gym, so that when they get released they’re built like brick shit houses.
But by far the worst thing about our prisons is the treatment of paedophiles, who get secured away in their own separate unit with each other so they don’t get killed by the non-paedos, and so end up networking and making friends with the other child-molesters; when they get out they’re organised, connected and a lot more dangerous than when they went in.

In general - it's stuff on tellee. I have no soul, but I reckon I'm not alone. Anyway, top two:
That advert where dogs are running around happy and carefree with a narrator saying "This is Toto, he's a happy little dog" etc, only for it to cut to a shot of the same mutt, in the rain, sat in an alley next to a skip while we're told how Toto's former owner attached jumpleads to the dog's nads and used him as bait when shark fishing. Welling up just thinking about it.
But the all time killer? The Snowman by Raymond Briggs. Every Christmas it gets shown, and regular as clockwork, right at the end the poor little ginger sod (who obviously doesn't have any friends, seeing as he's stuck out in the middle of nowhere with just his rather elderly parents) stumbles out on Christmas morning into the garden looking for his magical new best mate, only to find a mound of melted snow, some coal, a hat and a carrot. He looks in his pocket, finds a scarf, that fucking song starts up and I'm bawling like a Tsunami survivor... am I allowed to say that?

Best Graffiti Ever
The worryingly segregated Queen Elizabeth College in Leicester; sitting down for a crap in a cubicle in the library I spot "White people are gay, honky motherfuckers" on the wall. Beneath it I write "Racists are just cunts".

Best Grafiti Ever
One bit of "tagging", as the young people refer to it, which sticks in my mind could be found on Victoria Road, in Headingly, Leeds, a few years ago. It wasn't rude or offensive, but it was certainly noticeable and, one felt, sincere. Outside the local newsagent, on a long,four foot high wall in large letters for all the passing traffic to see, some poor bugger had scrawled the phrase "LOVE IS JUST A MISERABLE LIE" It wasn't painted over for as long as I was living around there, and for all I know may still remain, which I think demonstrates the cynicism of our friends in the North, that or the lack of funding for urban regeneration.
