Read it in the paper itself today - wouldn't normally read the sport section, but saw it there, saw it was written by Russell Brand, and gave it a go. Very glad I did  |

If Parky was a regular listener to Brand's show, I'd respect his opinion.
If he heard about it through other sensationalist places, I don't.
And reiterate my earlier point; it's out of context.
Just as a tasteless joke bu Parky at dinner with a friend might well be offensive if converted to Mailese and splashed with righteous indignation on their front page. |

Generation gap stuff. At last a genuinely Yoof comedian - Little Britain when it started got alot of flak but they piloted it on BBC3 so it did not get the attention that Brand has had recently - his Hollywood career has certainly flagged him up to the older generation who probably never listened to him before. |

On Ross:
"Jonathan should have more oil in his lamp frankly, more sense. Jonathan has been through a lot of television."
On Brand:
"The facts are he did something that was silly, obscene, tasteless and unfunny," said Sir Michael. "He's generously called a comedian. I can't feel much sympathy for him." |

Brand and Ross are listened to by millions. They are not hyped therefore their talent is the barometer for their viewers/listeners.
The two funniest people on TV and Radio - they always have made me laugh and everyone I speak to says the same ( if they are under 60 )
No doubt some 5 year olds are funny. Have never met one who could seriously be put on radio to run a show for 2 hours though..............
JK's piece in Attitudes and Opinions is a very telling statement about this whole situation - and very true. |
