So Brand and Ross are phoning up Andrew, and trying to do a voicemail comically to the best of their ability on answerphone, and then Jonathon shouts out "HE FUCKED YOUR GWANDDAUGHTER!!" thinking that would be hilarious. My first point is, come on, it's Russell Brand, who hasn't he slept with, my second thought is - how is this so offensive? Great Britain, get over yourselves. It was a bloody joke.
Not only was it Jonathon Ross who made it worse, but Russell received the worst treatment in all this. It wasn't entirely those two's faults at that - let's not forget the producer and directors or whatever you have there who agreed to broadcast it, etc.
And now look what the BBC has done as a result. Russell has resigned. In the video I have attached to this post, you can see quite clearly the following:
- He has apologised numerous times to Andrew about the event, not only on the actual day did he phone back and apologise, but he also went and apologised in person, and the apology was accepted by Andrew
- He has resigned as a result - and Russell claims this is because he believes after this event he has taken it too far and no longer makes people laugh. Wrong. He never fails to make me laugh, and I love his radio show. This should never have gotten this far, why people are so offended by it I don't know...
To summarise, I am fucking outraged by this, by an unhealthy amount.
The entire globe is facing a financial meltdown, and yet this Brand/Ross vs Andrew's Granddaughter situation has received more airtime in the news that the worldwide recession. GET A FUCKING GRIP PEOPLE OF BRITAIN!
