Russell Brand Effs Up. Again.

The Brit ‘comedian’ is on an fuck-up roll!
You can add ‘job suspension for prank calling’ to the recent list of idiocy that includes the MTV VMAs and showing up to the wrong red carpet event.
On October 18th, the ‘comedian’ and a popular BBC Late Night TV host, a guy named Jonathan Ross, left obscene messages on 78-year old Brit actor Andrew Sachs‘ answering machine as part of Brand’s BBC radio show. One of the ‘upsetting’ things that Brand said to Sachs is that he slept with his granddaughter who’s part of a burlesque troop called Satanic Sluts.
Well…..she is in a group called the Satanic Sluts!
The state-supported BBC has received more than 18,000 complaints about the horrible treatment of the senior thespian.
Both Brand and Ross have been suspended until further notice from their BBC jobs.
The Sachs granddaughter spoke out and said, “What’s funny about humiliating a lovely old man who has never harmed anyone in his life? My grandfather is really upset and says he wants the whole situation to end.”
A BBC suit said, “This is not a marginal case. It’s clear from the views expressed by the public that this broadcast has caused severe offence and I share that view. This gross lapse of taste by the performers and the production team has angered licence payers.”
Russell and Jonathan are lucky they weren’t fired!
But, seriously, isn’t everyone overreacting a bit???
