I reckon I must've missed all your attempts at making your sarcasm clear - s'funny that. I just thought you acting as an arse was a full-time occupation, I didn't realise you were meaning to be facetious/sarcastic/irreverent. Thanks for the heads up.

This whole thing has spawned into a monster. That refers to both the Ross and Brand issue, and also the malevolance it has brought out in the forum!
One thing is probably true (assuming we can believe all press) Georgina Baillie did sleep with Russell Brand. She admits that:
http://www.webuser.co.uk/news/news.php?id=270991
Which kind of undermines the complaints.
But facebook petitions/ online petitions/ PM question time/ Headline news. It's enough!
I brought up the subject yesterday, when this was a relatively low key showbiz issue. Look at it now! Ridiculous.
Wonder who'll be presenting JR's show this week?!?!

| One thing I am sick to death of hearing about is how intelligent Russell Brand is, like that excuses him for being a dick. Not just in this matter, but since he's been a well know public figure. |

A lot of those "complaints" to Ofcom will be people jumping on the bandwagon, obviously. But I think people are already concerned with the way so-called celebs are allowed to get away with this kind of thing.
Andrew Sachs wouldn't be the first person I'd think of to make a prank call to (alright, Brand slept with his grandaughter, if the rumours are true), but Andrew Sachs ... what's he ever done to anybody?
To put it into perspective, James Whale was sacked from TalkSport for talking about Boris Johnson in a favourable way during the London elections. This was an error of judgment which went out live, not pre-recorded - it slipped out, as things can on radio.
Ross and Brand made a series of vulgar phone call to an unsuspecting old man which was pre-recorded and was checked by various producers.
There should be a few more suspensions or sackings IMO.

I know! Surely there are more important things going on. World crisis, anyone?!
I'm just curious- how many of you guys actually listened to that show? |

I heard it.
And I've never before heard the sound of two careers being flushed down the toilet - that was the most satisfying thing I'd heard in years.

illwishing anybody is just vile even if the show was awfully misjudged.
to be honest it's been building up to this...the public gets what the public wants and all that.
ross and brand have been cheered for years for being irreverent so why does everybody turn on them all of a sudden?
i'm not a great fan of band wagon jumpers to be honest. |
