So Russell brands been forced to quit his job as a radio 2 presenter all because he’s upset Manuel and a stripper. The British public should be ashamed of themselves. Again we’ve had to watch the media hype the stuffy middle-aged public into thinking that what Brand did was wrong. Us British used to be quite funny, but now were just a bunch of easily led, wrapped up in cotton wool, load of idiotic sycophant’s.

I totally disagree that they were wrong.  The pure FACT of the matter is this: After the show just 2 people from its 400,000 strong listener’s actually complained. By yesterday it was up to 27,000. The majority of these complaining fools have probably never heard of Russell Brand, and probably have too much time on their hands, and probably have very little human contact.

You see some pretty horrible people on the television these days. Does anyone complain that Loose Women is essentially 4 menopausal women ranting about how much they hate men, and why do they deserve to have cellulite, along with other inane chatter. Richard and Judy? More like Pervert and Prude(y). Jordan and Peter – pathetic. And a host of other celebs that talk about stuff that supposedly shouldn’t be mentioned.

Does anyone honestly think that Russell brand boasting that he diddled Manuel’s daughter is the worst thing you’ve heard this year? The fact is that he did diddle the daughter, so what’s her problem. And don’t worry about her, I’m sure she’ll make a small fortune from the no-doubt imminent kiss and tell story that’ll be plastered in the Sun next week.

But the problem is this: the UK loves to sit on its high horse and look down on other less educated nations with pure contempt (ask yourself this – have you ever heard anyone from the UK say they like the French?).

Brand was the fall guy, I don’t respect his decision to step don, but I suspect he was pushed before he could jump. Jonathan Ross is too funny to ban from his screens, and I don’t know any TV station that wouldn’t want him on their books if they did decide to fire him.

Anyway, I’m ranting. The public are the ones that should feel ashamed, not Brand or Ross. They’ve forced one guy out of his job, and want to do the same. This nation’s blood lust is insane.

Russian prosecutors are attempting to have award winning satirical cartoon South Park taken off of the air after it was accused of being “extremist” after receiving viewer complaints.

The adult cartoon features a group of foul-mouthed nine-year-olds in a “qui-et lit-tle, red-neck moun-tain-town” who rip in to celebrities, politicians and anyone that deserves a bashing.

A Basmanny regional prosecutors office spokeswoman, Valentina Titova, said investigators filed a motion after deciding a recent episode shown on Moscow television station 2×2 in January “bore signs of extremist activity.”

“In accordance with the conclusions made by experts from the court investigations committee, a claim has been filed against 2×2 for its broadcast of an episode of South Park,” Titova said.

A representative for 2×2 was not immediately available for comment.

The Russian Union of Christians of Evangelical Faith had asked prosecutors to ban the TV show after claims they done study’s on 20 children.

The group’s leader, Konstantin Bendas, said “South Park is just one of many cartoons that need to be banned from open broadcast…as it insults the feelings of religious believers and incites religious and national hatred.”

“Our complaint is against a lot of cartoons, but this one was from South Park season three, episode 15,” he said. (It’s Mr. Hankey’s Christmas Classics btw)

“It’s one thing if they are on cable TV and viewers pay money and make a conscious choice. But young children should not be able to turn on the TV after school and watch this. They need to be defended,” Bendas said.

Russia passed a 2006 law widening the definition of extremism to include “the abasement of national dignity” and “inciting religious and national hatred,” which backers say was needed to stem a wave of violence aimed at ethnic minorities.
