You couldn't find a more conceited, arrogant or sexist comment if you subscribed to Richard Littlejohn's column for the next 10 years. It's comparable to Nick Griffin telling British Asians that they're not British and that 'that in no way constitutes racism'. Dom, not only do you typify sexism, you manage to take it to new heights.

So it's okay to ring an old guy and tell him you've f*cked his grandayghter, is it? That passes as humour in your world? Personally, I think that smug, narcissistic arse Brand should have been arrested by the police and charged with making obscene phone calls. I think your hormones are distorting your sense of moral perspective, especially as you don't care what happens to Ross, just Brand, whereas if you really believed your own arguments, you'd be supportive of both of them. <BR/>Anonymous -- Sunday November 09 2008, @04:55AM (#314112)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623527747238657704.post-70056410447783548022008-11-06T13:10:00.000+00:002008-11-06T13:10:00.000+00:00Hello.

There is no freedom to make abusive phone calls. Freedom of speech does not include freedom to shout "Fire!" in a crowded place and cause a stampede, and it doesn't include freedom to make harrassing phone calls to people. They've done the equivalent of smashing a car windscreen or happy-slapping some old geezer and broadcasting the result on YouTube. It was Ross, by the way. I read the transcript. Everything Brand said was to try and avert the car crash that he had the cop-on to foresee, but that other ignoramus didn't. <BR/><BR/>But if Ross came round my place saying, I fucked your granddaughter, I'd say OY WOSS, NOOOOOOOO!

They're complete pillocks for not having sought permission and legal advice and now, having made their beds, they can lie in 'em."... why is it that Johnathan Ross is being held responsible when he was a guest on the show? Why is it that Russell Brand is having to take the whole of the blame when he is the presenter of the show? The final decision about what to broadcast lies with neither of these two but with the show's producer. The show was pre-recorded with more than enough time to edit the comments if there was any doubt regarding the objections of Andrew Sachs. The cynic in me suggests that the BBC was willing to use to noteriety of Russell Brand to generate some publicity but got scared when the numbers of complaints started to soar. Where is the production team who hold the responsibility to decide what should and should not go to air? I dont see their names in headlines. I dont see them being hounded out of their jobs.

When I first heard about this palaver, my initial feeling was that it was probably a media over-reaction, possibly an attempt to steer media coverage away from the boring old credit crunch. So, I went and looked up the podcast, and lo and behold, thought they did indeed overstep the mark. My opinion doesn't have anything to do with my personal feelings on Brand & Ross's take on humour, but on the responsibility of the broadcasters in performing such a stunt.

I'm no Daily Mail reader, but I do think Brand & Ross are a pair of sanctimonious pseudo-intellectual pricks and am quite glad they're (albeit temporarily) off my radio and tv.<BR/><BR/>You could've checked some facts before embarking on this rant too dear: Andrew Sachs didn't say he wasn't bothered, and this is the crux of the matter. Had his permission been adequately sought, there wouldn't have been an issue. It wasn't, and thus, there is. But that doesn't matter to you Russell Brand fans does it? Just jump on the good ol' anti-Daily Mail bandwagon.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and by the way, irony is you berating these Daily Mail Readers/complainers (oh so easy for you to generalise) for allegedly not having heard/read transcripts of the broadcast, when you've clearly not read up on the facts of the complaint yourself.

He has behaved completely maturely and appropriately. The joke was fairly juvenile, but that's sort of what he does, and he approaches his juvenile whimsy from a very balanced, intelligent and considered position. Russell Brand is brilliant. Plus it was a pretty funny idea. The reason it didn't work? Having Jonathan Ross scupper Russell Brand's comedic genius in the middle of the whole thing with his clumsy attempts to keep up with Brand's wit. I am with you, the moaning about it - certainly from the Mail reading demographic - is pathetic. Her Nibs' behaviour has been poor, Andrew Sachs has been made a fool of with, like you say, patronising ageist claptrap and Jonathan Ross... Well I think we might differ on him. I think he's been a complete moron. The producer who let it be broadcast after having asked Sachs' permission (which was denied) was a bit naughty too. But Russell Brand has seen an amusing idea go to complete shit and had his name trashed. I have nothing but sympathy for him, and think he has behaved absolutely impeccably!<BR/><BR/>In short, I once again loved your post and was hoping I'd see it mentioned on your blog at some point :)Chris Stokeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11265182735334266877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623527747238657704.post-36421156441322906872008-10-29T19:48:00.000+00:002008-10-29T19:48:00.000+00:00to be honest, i feel a little for the bbc, they're...to be honest, i feel a little for the bbc, they're caught in a very difficult place for right now, and if russell hadn't resigned, some shall we say, less adjustable people would've lost their jobs because of this. russ has saved some honest people with this decision. i just read also, that when the show was aired, it recieved TWO complaints. that fucking stupid is that. im going to work my way through your past blogs now, haha :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623527747238657704.post-9590948691544160602008-10-29T19:35:00.000+00:002008-10-29T19:35:00.000+00:00Thanks all! :-) I'm feeling better already; surely...Thanks all! :-) I'm feeling better already; surely RB will take his show to another station who will realise they are lucky to have him?lightupvirginmaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01371404648770257776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1623527747238657704.post-75510442004017602152008-10-29T19:12:00.001+00:002008-10-29T19:12:00.001+00:00i couldn't agree more. why were the bbc doing fuck...i couldn't agree more. why were the bbc doing fucking interviews with members of the public who clearly wouldn't have listened to the show, never mind understand what went on in it's full context. fucking twats. i couldn't agree more about your littlejohn comment. he is the biggest bag of shit since, well, ever. no-one comes close. this is a travesty to the free nature of our society, and makes it ONE NIL to the nanny state the daily mail so desperately wants us to live in. long live russell brand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
