Ross & Brand "Scandal"

Sorry, by "sachs", I meant Andrew.

The grandaughter is, of course, a publicity seeking slut

Don't you mean Satanic Slut ?

Sad state of affairs that this was the lead story on Sky News yesterday evening.

If we were to ban or sack people based on everything that "offends" the Daily Mail we would have a very strange world.

It's nice that having castigated Ross and Brand for their insensitivity, The Sun has carried on reporting sensitively, and respectfully.:

Apparently, Brand only discovered the Satanic Slut was related to Sachs when an old episode of Fawlty Towers appeared on the TV and she blurted out that they were related.

While in flagrente Brand then began roaring "I learn it from a book, I learn it from a book!!!!"

Which I can't help finding mildly amusing.

What I have learned from the whole thing is that "Satantic Sluts" have feelings too.

Pretty much a non story (they should of apologied to A Sachs eariler)given the number of original complaints but given life by the various vested interests whose real agenda is doing down the BBC , Labour Party, Conservatives Daily Mail, The Scum, Sky News, Talk****e etc.

Ross is overated, Brand is about s funny as toothache but with the combined shower of bankers listed above against them I know which side I would be on.

I heard it was "Que" he shouted, which isn't that funny

.

"I learn it from a book" on the other hand, is quite amusing

Yeah - a direct quote attributed to the Satanic Slut herself in yesterdays tabloids.

"I learn it from a booooook!!!!"

These idiots are not funny - the end

They have never been - this is just a natural extension of their lack of funnyness

Wow, wait until they hear his gag about Princess Di, land mines and shagging.

Frankie Boyle is brilliant.

Russell Brand can be quite funny at times. He's pretty good at sending up the hypocrisy of the gutter press, fittingly enough.

LOL. Is that the worst protest ever?

It'd kill many an LoI club.

I was at a Letterman taping on Wednesday. Brand was the guest, in spite of this it was actually a good show (due largely to the Stupid Human Tricks segment). There was no mention of the Andrew Sachs matter at all which likely means it got little coverage or interest Stateside as Letterman is known for targetting embarrassing things about celebs (see Hathaway, Anne) when they're on the show.
