russell brand - C or D?

Brand's first response to this, "what's worse, leaving a swearword on Andrew Sachs's answerphone or supporting the Third Reich?" was pretty classic.

I'm quite enjoying all the "senior BBC broadcasters" sticking the boot in completely anonymously.

"what's worse, leaving a swearword on Andrew Sachs's answerphone or supporting the Third Reich?"

Two sniggering fucks indulging in a bit of laddish misogyny and getting paid an enormous amount of money for it?

Heroes: Dino Scarlo, Gandhi, Albert Einstein (watch the video with his quotes I've added), John F Kennedy (see the video below if you ever wondered what really got him killed), Bill Hicks, Jesus (and I'm not religious so work that one out), My Grandad Fred, Micheal Tsarion, Robert Anton Wilson, Nikola Tesla, DJ Paul Christian (Without him I would never have discovered the wonder that is Electro house)and finally my Mum.

See what I mean, only one women on that list *angry emoticon*

So glad Shane is getting his moment in the sun here. He was on Jerry Springer UK once as well.

*angry emoticon*, is that his mum's name?

Occupation: Walking contradiction

So he's a wrestle who's NOT going to threaten to beat up someone who weighs half as much as he does... oh wait

wrestle = wrestler

I fucked his mum once.

Classic: wifes dad:

"I think it's a disgrace, Russell brand implying that Andrew Sachs had had sex with Jonathan Ross' daughter!"

Didn't he fuck Jonathan Ross's wife and that's why she had that nervous breakdown? *LAUGHTER TRACK*

Good piece by Mark Lawson in the Grauniad.

Surprised that Lawson wasn't arguing for the entire license fee to be handed to Ricky Gervais

that's a pretty reasonable piece by lawson, but really: THIS IS THE MOST FUCKING ABSURD NEWS STORY IN THE PAST, er, week and the sooner everybody involved fucks off out of it, the better.

Were the BBC to now sack Ross, he would probably be rapidly taken on by commercial broadcasters, or even by the networks of Rupert Murdoch

O Calamity!

And Tatchell weighs in.

He's actually 3-1 to become next Newcastle manager.

So far, nearly 30,000 members of the public have lodged complaints. How many of them have complained about the BBC's tacit glorification and promotion of greed and nastiness in programmes like The Apprentice and The Weakest Link?

Actually worse than Piers Morgan's piece

And Tatchell weighs in.

Right that's it, hand me that burning torch and point me towards the offices of Jonathan Ross's production company

steady on pinefox! "scum"?

anyway, yes, I did complain bcs you know 1million complaints by friday was too delicious a prospect to pass up

can we find something innocuous of george lamb's to complain about? we now have proof that we only need 27,000 complaints to have him hang? what's the install-base of ilx, 3000? if we all complain 9 times we'll have him!

Care to replicate the content of your complaint to us, cozen?

uhm, let me see if I can find the actual text on the ofcom www

I didn't realise ppl were actually complaining; I thought it was an internet thing, and finally a funny one at tht (cf. rick astley at the EMA & digg NOT FUNNY)

Wow, this turned into a silly-season story over the last couple of days, didn't it.

I still think they're a pair of horrible cunts for phoning some old guy and leaving a message boasting about fucking his grand-daughter, I guess that'll get obscured in all the fuss now. I guess I'd probably laugh if either of them got worked over by some irate bod or other over this. Like, as long as they didn't get worked over too hard?

I guess that'll get obscured in all the fuss now

otm, this happened about 200 posts ago.

who else can we complain abt and get rid of? will ofcom do gordon brown too? (joeks bruv)

I wd really like to see if we cd get rid of george lamb tho pls

For all RBrand isn't the 'kiss and tell' type, he is the 'kiss and blurt it out when it gets too much' type.

I think everyone's forgetting it was Ross who did the public blurting. ...

Yes, but RBrand presumably mentioned it to JRoss.

I think "you can get away with threatening to beat up someone who is physically much weaker than you as long as that person has somehow insulted your ex-girlfriend" is just as bad a message to send as "it's OK to prank call people and leave offensive messages on their answerphones as long as you're a highly paid comedian". With the exception of Sachs, everyone involved in this comes out a bit tarnished.

And another thing...

Didn't Russell Brand make some "edgy" comments about some Christian pop band at the MTV Awards and then, after a quick word in his ear, apologise for the comment in the same show? The Quick Word being, I imagine, that his career in the US might not go much further if he continued to mock high-earning employees of powerful corporations. But how ballsy and rock 'n' roll of Russell to defy Censorship and The Man for all of, oh, 20 minutes. Of course no such prickly career advancement problems when commenting on some girl he met in a pub in Camden and subsequently shagged.

Yeah, how about getting (George Lamb) to phone a 60's rock/pop star, annoying him to the point of the 60's pop star politely ringing off, and then wishing a death on his ill brother?

Or is it too late to bring this one to the world's attention?

Or is it because he's not famous enough?

link me a youtube of tht and we can all strt filing our complaints

We've covered it on ILX already!

Yes, but RBrand presumably mentioned it to JRoss.

Well, yes, but going "see 'er, I shagged 'er" to your mate over a pint in the pub or whatever is hardly the stuff to cause a national outcry, is it? Especially when said lassie is now telling the press it was an ongoing relationship of over a year.

let's do this

no cozwn, get yourself over to guess the game and tell me if my answer is correct

ta

thread's gone quiet...

i was busy complaining about george lamb. seriously. come on, ILX, we can do this.

I think I agree with everything in that Tachell article but blimey anyone could have written it, did he get paid for stating the obvious, etc...

Who are are complaining to OFCOM, or some BBC dept.?

oops misplaced comma.

But you didn't write it and just because it's obvious doesn't mean it's not true.

Agreed. The world will be a better place if this cunt's career is brought to a swift end and he is returned to the fiery depths of hmv's stockroom from whence he came.

Turns out we may have been beaten to it though:

Well, I wasn't asked.
xp

I can't believe you actually complained, Cozen, even if you just did it because you thought it was funny. That's insane. And from you of all people!?

lamb's show got six complaints at the time of broadcast -> 4 more than brand/ross

we are off to a flying start!

well, it's got one more now. COME ON!
