Russell Brand

[Steve]

Feckin' idiot.

I'm glad he's resigned - the media world can only be a better place with less of him in it. Can't stand the twit on the TV or the radio.

Discuss.

Never heard of this Brand geezer until this week, I guess everyone in the country has heard of him now! I never have liked Jonathon Ross. The pair should be fired and never allowed to work for the BBC again. After all WE pay their grossly inflated wages.

I know what they did was bang out of order, but I do think it's been blown way out of proportion, don't the news have more important things to report, or has this all been set up to take our minds away from some new government scam...

Oh suspicious minds ;)

My thoughts entirely ;)

Let's hope it means the BBC will do a rerun of all those classic Flowery Twats series to make peace with Andrew Sachs...

Oh no of course they won't because all the PC tossers won't like it because it takes the piss out of someone...

Go get a life! Most of the people moaning are only moaning because of the fact they pay their wages and don't give 2 hoots about what was actually said...


I'm not condoning what they did either but...:ack2::puke::puke:

After the progeam there were 2 complaints.
After hyping up the story over 11 days 1,800 people most of whom never heard it broadcast at the time, but might have seen it on youtube, complained to the BBC.
now there are resignations and I bet in the end a producer gets sacked.

Did you know that when they changed the weather forecast from one that told you what they thought the weather would do to an eyefull of expensive fast moving uninformative 3D graphics there were over 40,000 complaints. But they kept showing it and changed nothing. After a while they said that complaints had slowed to only 1000 a week so it looked like the public had accepted the changes!
They still broadcast the same waste of time crap format today.
So the BBC are really sensitive to complaints aren't they!

Well no. They are sensitive to newspaper headlines. Same as the politicians. Thousands of letters to MPs and petitions with millions of signatures mean nothing - but a headline in the sun and somone has to lose their job.

The weather forecast story only made the inside pages.

Brand and Ross are both loudmouth cocks, Can't stand either of them.:toetap05:


Nuff said.:hat:

[marktigere1]

:iagree: Totally!!!

[mchristyuk]

It's been blown completely out of proportion. I quite like Friday night with Ross and Brand "can" be amusing at times. They did get carried away.. but none of what they said was made up.

I think a simple apology would have sufficed and lets move on.

However the papers have got hold of it and now the politicians have jumped on the band wagon.. as if either of those can talk about morals and ethics!

What is wrong with this country when people dying from an earthquake comes after the "Headline" news of a prank phone call?!...Jeez...

[FONT=Verdana]Personally I think both the so called Prime Minister and Cameron should be totally embarrassed for getting involved in such a trivial sequence of events, which has no bearing on what they should both be concentrating on. [/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]This matter should have been left in the capable hands of the [/FONT][FONT=Verdana]BBC Director General Mark Thompson without interference from any political party……..[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]......and for example made of them, huh, that’s nothing………..you’ll see far to much of both of them due to so much publicity and sadly popularity.[/FONT]

[Rodsport999]

I don't find either of them funny, I think Ross's interiew style is immature and sometimes quite intrusive, Brand is just a tw@t of the highest order.
Blown out of proportion is not a phrase I would use here, If I rang your dad and revealed that an obnoxious little sh#t had slept with his grand daughter ON HIS ANSWERING MACHINE..... how would you feel.
I think a sacking is well deserved here, people in my job have been sacked for far, far less than this.
Celebrities think they can get away with anything in this country....

sorry, rant complete!!

Edit;
I agree the PM should have better things to talk about though

[Bugster]

I just admire Andrew Sachs's reaction. He seems to want the whole thing to die a death when most elderly actors would have probably enjoyed the sudden limelight and demanded compensation.

[Bugster]

Just had a flashback - anyone old enough to remember Simon Dee the 60s/70s DJ. He was on the TV just about every night and always in the news with gorgeous girls, fast cars and an immense pay packet. Then he made a big whoopsy on the air - forget what now but total obscurity followed.
