Brand/Ross

There are far more important things going on in the world but I’ve been following this story with interest.

I thought it was pretty funny! And the moral outrage of some people hilarious :)

I think there was a thread about Russell Brand on here and no one liked him…I reckon he’s pretty funny, he’s an arrogant prick but a funny one

he did the prank call every week, and hes done worse than this.

i dont blame him at all, the show was pre recorded so you’d think someone in post production would of at least picked up use of the word fuck before airing it.

of course the tabloids make him into some sort of villan by placing words like ville, evil, dispicable in front of his name. ringing a 79 year old mans a bit hrsh, but how many of us can honestly say we havent had a childish moment were we did something stupid, just so happened brand had one on national radio.

i used to hate him but that was based on big brother, now ive given him a chance over the last few weeks he is a fresh breath of air, ponderlands back tonight i believe :)

The whole thing discusts me.

This is an absolutely nothing story blown up by the media.

The show was broadcast 2 weeks ago and 2 people complained.

The main story then was a Tory MP soliciting donations illegally from a Russian billionare, then the Sunday Mail blows the story up and suddenly 30,000 people compain? how many of those people actually heard the show? they showed a line of pensioners queuing up outside the BBC to register their complaints - have they nothing else better to do? how may pensioners are Brand fans?

More and more we have the Media inventing stories for the sake of covering something…

yeah, i’d love to see the reaction if all these people actually listened to an episode of the show.

theres so much content in his show that can be twisted by the media.

in the sun today he was asked what hes gunna do now with all the free time. he replied : the show was only 2 hours a week, im off to america to make loads of movies.

hahahaha i dont think hes bothered at all, i doubt he was doing the show because he had to or for the money but for enjoyment more than anything

If I worked for a TV company i’d be ringing his agent, and I’d be putting him on the prime time weekend slot - cause everyone would watch it, just to see what he did and what he said, they’d be watching it so they could find something to compain about, and the ratings would be huge!

The Satanic Slut :)

I love the way the BBC has pulled all programmes featuring Johnathon Ross…you’d think he’d just been caught kiddly fiddling rather than making funny but admittedly juvenile comments on an answerphone
