Is it just me or does anyone else think this has been blown completely out of proportion? :unsure:
I mean, Fawlty Towers back in its day was pretty controversial anyway and I'm sure they stepped on a few toes.
This is just silly :snooty:

I hope they both get the sack actually. Stupid cunts.
Stop trying to deprave the world of Russell Brand :angry:
I'd be happy about that :snooty:
Is your entire argument for this being all blown out of proportion basically the fact that you fancy him :blink:
Russell Brand's an arswip who looks that he needs a good wash., and never be funny.
As for Jonathan Woss he thinks he funny, but I never found him so.
It Said on BBCNews24 that Woss got £18 million pounds a year, what a wast of money could be better spent
I think both are arswips and should be sacked.
I think basically people have been waiting for the chance to oust the obnoxious little gobshite for some time. He was always going to shit his hole full, it's because he's an attention seeking knob. He is strangely arousing though :unsure:.
Well, I do fancy him but that's not the point.
It was just a phone call. I mean, people are losing their homes all over the country, teenagers are getting stabbed to death and the purity of cocaine is down to 5% and the BBC and Ofcom are moaning about a fucking telephone prank.
It's just stupid. 's What I think :snooty:
Malicious or abusive phone calls are actually a criminal offence under section 43 of the Telecommunications Act, 1984.
It was actually 3 or 4 phone calls. They phoned up to interview Andrew Sachs about his appearance on The Bill. When they got his answering machine, they started interviewing that. Ross chimed in that Brand had fucked Manuel's grand daughter (which was true, apparently).
They knew immediately that this was a no-go so they phoned back to apologise but started acting like fucking twats instead. This happened pretty much throughout the radio show.
They're calling for them to be sacked in The House Of Commons at the minute.
In other news, ex-gold digger Angie Best was on N. Ireland tv last night. She was railing against fat people and happened to mention that there was 'no fat people in Auschwitz'. :blink: You can imagine how that's going down at the minute. Stupid fucking bitch.
'no fat people in Auschwitz'
:pinch:
Damn right. Kill all fat people. There will be less demand in food products so prices should go down. It makes sense. Go Angie Best. :lol:

This is beyond a joke. Politician's idea of a smoke screen?
Suspended??? I can't believe they suspended them!
And now that Georgina Baillie has jumped on the band wagon was well. Probably thinks it'll get her some media attention, her being an aspiring model.
I thought she was an uninspiring lap dancer :unsure:.
That's just what she looks like.
Well she won't make it as a model. Not unless she wants to model nipple tassels :snooty:
Now what am I going to watch on Friday nights? :cry:
You'll have a baby to keep you busy soon!
But what am I going to watch on Virgin on Demand when the baby is asleep??
That's it; Russell has resigned from BBC2 :(
Which says one of two things.Quote:

Either way, he's a fucking twat. Though, I think Jonathan Ross is more to blame seeing as he's the one who said the offending phrase in the first place.
If Ross is sacked (which is hardly likely, like) then so should all of the production team who allowed the shite to be aired. If we're going by that logic, then so should the head of the BBC.
It's preposterous.
It's no different from Moyles constantly taking the piss out of Nicola from Girls aloud or Frankie Boyle making fun of Kerry Katone every single Mock The Week episode.
Moyles doesn't phone up Nicola's mum and say that her daughter is a munter.Quote:

Nobody is saying Kerry's kids are mongs. There's a stark difference.
Moyles constantly takes the piss out of her saying how ugly and annoying she is because she's thin and ginger. That's bullying.
As for Kerry Katona... she may be an idiot but taking the piss out of someone with so obvious a problem isn't exactly the right thing to do either.
The thing everyone is tripping about is the fact that they seem to have gone against broadcasting standards. The above, applied under the same rules, would be against broadcasting standards as well.
It was a joke ffs.
I accept it was joke and some of it was funny to a point. I'm not denying that.
It was in very poor taste, though. And badly thought through.
You can call me anything you like, under the pretext of comedy and I'll take that in good spirit.
The line is crossed, however, when you publically and privately (i.e. leave a message on an unsolicited answering machine) announce to a grandfather that you've fucked his grand daughter. If he hadn't fucked said grand daughter, then I think the damage would have been limited. But the fact is he actually did. Slut or not, I can imagine, for a grandfather to hear that (broadcast) would piss you off to the max.
I can see why Voluptua from Satanic Sluts is annoyed - I doubt she wanted her Granddad to be appraised of her activities.
A more balanced take on the matter by a gentleman of the profession

All in all, I keep coming back to my first point; is this really the most important thing happening in the world right now? It's been blown out of proportion. I accept that some people may find it offensive but come on...
Obviously, fascist skinheads wanting to behead Obama is a tad more important - but lacking something in the humour department imho.
It certainly makes RB look at best unchivalrous and a sexist pig. I was going to let him have a go but he's ruined his chances now :snooty:.Quote:

Let me get this right. They phoned a 78 year old man to rip the pish out of him. When it went to an answering machine Ross announced that Brand had fucked his grand daughter. This is apparently true.
They then phoned another three times and just ripped the pish out of the old man again. This was pre-recorded however they went ahead and broadcast it on BBC radio. Which is paid for by the British public.
I have no sympathy for anyone who loses their job over this. None whatsoever. It's not the most important thing going on in the World just now. However that does not make it any less distasteful. It was cowardly bullying of an old man and his subsequent public humiliation.
It's of interest to the Government and parliament because it was done on the public broadcasting service. Funded by licence payers, i.e. me. Frankly I don't want people like that to get any more of my money. This includes the Producers and anyone else who had the power to stop those parts being broadcast, in addition to the two bullying pricks who did it.
