The Brand & Ross 'gate scandal

Well if you cant call a w*nker a w*nker you must with all conscience describe their conduct for what it is! ;), still the RICS took umbrage, but half of them spend weekends cottaging so i don't pay too much heed to that.

:lol:

Tea sprayed and hat doffed ol' mucker!
 
Now if Ross had said that about some old stuffed blouse with a suit on, the BBC would be facing a whistle of a the legal type, although, on the other hand you could probably say that about a lot of people and they be mysteriously quiet about it. Cant beat a good walk in the park can you Mr Spacey. i digress.
 
I can't stand russell brand, i think he's an idiot... I do like Ross though so Im more annoyed at him.
I can't imagine how either of them would have thought that this was going to be funny.

I read that Georgina Ballie is thinking of reporting it to the police as well.

Phoning up and a 78 yr man and leaving him a message talking about having sex with his grandaughter? From the phones at work? What industry is that not a sackable offence in? Now add in doing that 'in front' of an awful lot of 'customers'.

I agree, they were stupid, if I'm honest I don't want them to be sacked as I listen to both their Radio 2 shows and also love their TV progs too, but what they did was inexcusable, also, I can't believe the editor allowed that to go out..bad move, they are more to blame IMO as Brand and Ross got childishly carried away but it was the editors job to ensure what went out was appropriate for broadcast.

:eek: More balls than I expected!

In all honesty, I'd take the opportunity to give Brand a slap on the wrist and hopefully let it die down so that the rising martyrdom/publicity machine stops careering down this path, and invoke a "bringing the corporation into disrepute" clause in JR's conetract and hopefully save them a bit of money and get the public onside (invaluable when asking for their next TV licence hike)
 
I dont care one way or the other - the pair are sooooo 2007!! :lol:

The only thing which makes me laugh is originallhy there were 1500 complaints mentioned on the 6pm news and the next day 10,000 complaints - go figure!!!:lol::lol:

Also, I think Sachs Granddaughter from the well known risque dance troupe "Vampire Sluts" may get some mileage out of this - call me cynical but .... :lol::lol::lol:

No doubt the media are loving it, and she's riding it for all it's worth (again! boom-tish), but the basic facts would have them sacked if the worked for me.*

*Not that Ross and Brand are likely to get involved in the murky world of London infrastructure...

Agree - but in the real world.

However, in the world of the celeb, its gonna get JR and RB's independent viewer ratings up - cos the young uns will love this - its the same as when the Sex Pistols swore on the Bill Grundy show isnt it?? :lol::lol::lol:
 
They'll watch or listen to any cr*p if you sell it to them. You can have a new faces in their slot (mind your words now) market it up and have plenty of change out of £18m. The idea that you have to employ safe names is just dumb, hence we've have to put up with cloying greaseballs like Jonathan Ross for so long - you can even hire the Mighty Boosh the cast of Monkey Dust or whatever takes your fancy if no one can be bothered to look for new talent these days or have the media controllers not been watching any of the endless talent shows from their own output recently.
