I just picked up my paper and these two were on the front page, I skimmed the article and it seems everyone has underestimated how many people complained, it was actually 18,000 complaints.
Although I do agree that they're both smurfing fools, the show wasn't live, it was recorded. That kind of makes me think that perhaps whoever produced the show and actually let this go on air should've been the one who got suspended, not Brand and Ross.
He actually got fired. Bradn quit and Ross got suspended.El Oh El.

27,000 complaints to date, actually, according to today's news.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
its just sad really isnt it. For once, i agree with Noel on this one. Its really not a big deal in the slightest.
The fact that she probably DID sleep with Brand makes it even more trivial!
She did sleep with Brand, her and her dance troupe partner or something, David Badiel (sp) mentioned how she was there when he went to visit russel and they were pretty much hanging around for more sex,
Davina Macall is talking some sense
"Let's all just get over it. I haven't heard it myself, but a lot of people are passing judgement without having heard it and I think it's important that we hear what they said and how it was meant before we complain.
"We've got a culture of complaining sometimes, and I've only read it, and on paper it looks pretty bad. But a friend of mine who's heard it said they didn't mean it that badly and said 'go and listen to it', so I will go and listen to it tonight"
its the people who didn't even hear it and yet still complain that grind my gears

...It is because there is a limit to time that we wish for nights that never dawn.Eternity is just an empty illusion and is why feelings of being able to believe in one another are born...Remember that well.
For what it's worth...
Brand, Ross and Sachs: the condensed transcript - Times Online
Obvious warning: Content may offend approximately 27,000 people to the point that they need to call Ofcom.
As I've said many a time, I don't care if this never happened, Russell Brand is still a cock. Their apologies are clearly not heartfelt in any way and they just can't resist slipping in further details each time. Sad.

...even reading that i still find it quite amusing xD
Of course, if it was your parent getting a call about your child, you getting a call about your grandchild or your grandfather getting a call about you, you might see things a bit differently. Nobody calls people's grandparents and talks about how they had sex with their grandchild.

ok, i see your point. but surely thats for Mr Sach's family to get annoyed with. not 27000 people who have nothing to do with it. 2600 probably havent even heard/read it
You can't carry on being a prat for so many years and expect nobody to take advantage of an opportunity to take a snipe at you.
That's only for Sachs' family to give a crap about? Well, sure. But it's not your job to give a crap about Brand or Ross being slated, is it?
When you do something publically, the retaliation will come publically.

I still regret the fact that I had the chance to punch Russell Brand but I did not take it. I have thought about it every day since that chance passed.
While I agree with Paul in that it wasn't funny but people are overreacting far too much about it, if it means I have to see less of the prick then I'm all for it, so complain away.
It's just a complaint, to be fair. It's not like they're calling for him being arrested or anything - anyone has the right to complain about something they feel shouldn't be aired, right? So I don't think it's an overreaction at all. What happens because of the complaints is not in the hands of the public.

That's what all this is about? Approximately 27,000 people need to shut the hell up and stop whining.
Licence fee payers have the right not to see their money, which they don't have any choice but to pay if they own a TV, not used to bully an elderly man. Simple fact.
And yeah I don't think I'd be too chuffed if someone called my gran up and started talking about that sort of thing, and I don't think many people would be. If anyone doesn't mind, give me your grandparent's phone number and I will repeatedly harass them
