no one likes a cunt, and brand is one.

Have the people who employed Brand never seen one of his stand-up shows. It amazes me how they employ someone based on their 'reputation' 'cos they are new and 'edgy'. Then, they shit themselves when they cross the line.
If they wanted watered down shows on the bbc, then they should bring back these two...

Brand - Yes/No
Ross - Yes/No

lame joke, they apologized...... that should be enough, but everybody seems to be angry just because the sun and the daily mail tell them to be outraged
- If you paid me 18 million over 5 years and I did something so base would an apology be enough?babaganush
- it works for most bankers....bolus

still, satanic sluts, and she didn't want her grandfather to know..... it's all a bit sad really

The point of pre-recording stuff (I know Brand's podcast normally isn't, but in this case it was) is that the people involved can ad-lib, go wild, over step the mark whilst in the 'heat of the moment' or whatever you want to call it, and if the editing team decide something they say/do unacceptable and remove it from the final broadcast.
I would find the editors/reviewers more guilty than Brand and Ross. Everyone knows they are loudmouths and can say the wrong thing sometimes... why the hell haven't the editors been raked over hot coals? In my opinion it is their fault it was broadcast...
- Yeah, good point. But still they essentially broke the law in the meantime...babaganush
- Abuse (repeated) over the phone is a criminal offence.Not being right-on but..acountabilitybabaganush
- what law? is it illegal to leave rude messages?bolus
- ah okbolus
- So why wasn't it edited out???Raniator
- Doesn't negate the fact they got caught (getting paid) breaking the law. I agree with the editorial responsibility toobabaganush

it was a bit offensive, but not that bad. It's wanking me off seeing this headlining the news. The respectable media tried to avoid the story till that cunt-face Gordon Brown* opened his fucking gob.
That cunt-face has a tendency to comment on EVERYTHING from X-Factor to Jade on Big Brother to everything.
Also I like both Brand and Ross. Brand cos the guy is a) funny, and b) fucks loads of girls by simply being unshakably himself and not comforming to any grotesque stereotypes of masculinity. And Ross, cos he sometimes does good interview on his show and has the self-depricating shameless sense of humour i also enjoy.
*I am, actually one of the few Brown supporters.

what a load of crap... blown way out of proportion.
There can't be much else to report about...

I think the pair got too big for their own boots, crossed the line and should pay for what they've done. I also think that they're both very talented and both do a great job, Friday Night with Jonathan Ross is a great tv show. Brand has a reputation for being close to the mark, everyone knows this and it's one of the reasons he's so popular.
I think the issue is more 'how the fuck did this get aired? It's recorded mid-week and played Sat morning? Surely you'd realise that this was overstepping the mark and edit the show? I think what is needed is a long hard look at Radio 2 and the editorial process.
But as usual, these things get blown out of proportion. Who knows what will happen. I mean has no-one else gone to far and said something that pissed someone off? I know have, plenty of times. Apologise and get on with it.
Ross has had the decency to go round to his house and apologise in person, Brand should do the same. End of story. Let's get on with our lives.

haha, he actually fucked her. That's genius. I wanna be just like him. Skinny effette obnoxious horny ass shameless chode.
Out of order to tell her granddaddy and fuck about with it tho. Line crossed.
Ah shucks, now i don't know waht to think, i no longer think anyfink
- scribbler0
and Gordon Brown is just pleased for any bluddy story to come along to cover up all the shit that's going on in this country. Probably why the George Osbourne story has hung around so long.
- Khurram0
you know why Brand fucks so many girls? Cos he lives in his own reality, he acts through his own intentions, he's self-amusing, he doesnt care what anybody thinks about him ZERO, he is unapologetic about who he is.
That's all you need. In fact, i'm gonna buy his Bookie Wook in honour of the man.

you can't sack ross any more than you can sack the queen.
- kelpie0
btw, I don't think they should be sacked. that would be daft. they just crossed a line and deserve a slagging.
- boobs0
Public spankings delivered by Joanna Lumley for everyone involved!
- that would be a punishment for that pair how?kelpie
- public spankings for everyone but them...paraselene
- i'm not actually into being spanked. But i have a thing for being slapped on the face by a girl.. weirdKhurram
- Actually i was talking to someone into S&M about this, and she says, face slapping is normal cos you haveKhurram
- as high a concentration of nerve endings on your cheeks as you do on your face. But the bum thing is too submissive to meKhurram
- me, so i dont enjoy being spanked there. But face is ok. It's great actually. And being bitten really hard on my shoulder/bicepKhurram
- shoulder/bicepKhurram
- thanks for that.kelpie

I listen to his podcast each week. I honestly can't see why this got singled out. It wasn't really offensive. They phoned back 3 times and appologised straight after. I just don't get it.
That show sucked because jonathan ross isn't funny. Brand is funny sometimes, but only with his straight-man Matt Morgan, with Morgan absent it was two egomaniacs competing with eachother and it just wasn't funny.The fact that there has been so many complaints, media coverage and even gordon brown commenting is just insane.
I will say that Brand has a new TV series starting on thursday, if the cynic in me has its say.

one from the 18th is the hot oneBaskerviIle - My thoughts exactly Baskerville, Matt Morgan can harness Brand's ego, and does it well, Rossy was egging him on!!uncle_helv
