Russell Brand

[Bobby Hundreds]

Can't see russel having too good of a time of it on question time tomorrow. If he goes on informed and remains composed he will do okay but that's a big if. it might actually be an interesting one tomorrow not because we wil actually learn anything but just for the shits and giggles.

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

It's not the forum for him, in my opinion. He shouldn't be on it. It'll turn in to an exercise of Brand bashing by quoting one sentence at a time.

[Bobby Hundreds]

Yeah I think so too. Giving a fuck on a table full of people who don't will make him look like a mad man, especially once he gets riled and doesn't control his emotions.

[TheHowieLama]

The Russell Brand. He is building it.

[Bobby Hundreds]

At least he's building something unlike the council who only build new headquarters....... YEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! Ahem.

Caught James Blunt on The One Show being asked about his views on Russell Brand using his celebrity to speak about things that he feels passionately about....

 

Blunt: Well, we're all laughing at Russell, blather blather....

 

Just after he'd been speaking in his 'arent I clever' voice about ripping his fans off at Christmas by re-hashing some old album.

 

Well, no, we're not all laughing at him and I certainly have way more respect for him than you, you cynical, money-grabbing piece of work

Russell and Farage on Question time tomorrow- essential viewing.

That might be worth a watch!

James Blunt and the word credibility is an oxymoron.

I preferred him when he was invading towns in his tank.

[Section_31]

He's ex army, king and country and all that jazz.

I've no idea what the journalist did to his mother, I'd guess he probably rang her a few times, which doubtless counts as pestering in Russell's eyes.

 

The journalist clearly erred by not taking a leaf out of Russell's book and leaving obscene messages on her answerphone.

 

This is another example of SD playing the man instead of the spherically shaped object.

^^^^^^^

 

*finger poised and hovering over the neg*

[ZonkoVille77]

The journalist called on Brand to give him right of reply on something they were going to publish. That's editorial policy for most news outlets, and it's pretty shitty of Brand to react like that. Next time they just shouldn't bother.

Disappointing dude.

[Brownie]

All of the S*n nonsense is proof that he's on the right track and the establishment are now taking notice and trying to fight back.

[Major Tom]

Brand will always make headlines.

 

He's done it for years.

Are you trying to imply something here? 

[Major Tom]

What you see there is what you get, SB.

[Spy Bee]

In that case, the fact that he has made headlines for shagging fit women and getting ruined, has not real impact on today.

 

I think the media are stupid getting embroiled with him, it's just raising his profile further and that's not in their interests.

[Major Tom]

I think Russell Brand is making headlines for being Russell Brand. Not for any message he's trying to relay.

 

But if it serves him, then I have no complaints.

But, if it serves him, then I have no complaints.

He is getting negative headlines. Businesses won't want to touch him. He is donating his earnings. You keep stating that it is in self service. Do you have any rational argument in favour if that or is it just your strange dislike that is fueling this baseless conjecture?

I'm afraid that's just utter bullshit!

[Major Tom]

I'm afraid that's just utter bullshit!

 

How many headlines has Chomsky made lately? Or Pilger? What? None?

 

Oh.

 

Russell Brand gets mainstream media attention (negative or positive) because he is Russell Brand. Not because of his message. He could talk about the colour of egg-yolk and someone would report it.

 

But publicity is publicity. And he's trying to start a conversation, so this is surely only good, right?

[Guest Numero Veinticinco]

I'll take that as a no.

[Major Tom]

Take it whichever way you wish, NV. You will anyway.
