The problem is stupid people think he's clever rather than just a prick with a thesaurus.

( Slippery Mick ‏, Mon 27 Oct 2014, 12:15, Reply)

He is quite clever.
Unfortunately he's utterly deluded and quite possibly mental. Also, he's a fucking prick.

I'm not sure he is that clever. Articulate definitely but his ideas are really not clever at all. Mainly because they just wouldn't work.
Mind you I pity him is a way. If I grew up in Grays i'd probably have turned to heroin.

Ignorant perhaps. Ignorance and intelligence are not co-dependent.

( Kroney, Mon 27 Oct 2014, 12:25, Reply)

Intelligence is more of a logic/problem solving thing though isn't it?
Genuine question. Perhaps I am wrong but I thought they weren't co dependent either. My autistic mate has a crazy IQ but he's not overly clever.

Dunno, maybe I'm not being technically accurate,
but I conflate intelligence and cleverness.
( Kroney, Mon 27 Oct 2014, 12:30, Reply)

in my experience
more intelligence equals less common sense

Thats fine honest,
Brand has done some really funny shit though. Like when he was sexually abused as a kid.
( Peej, Mon 27 Oct 2014, 12:34, Reply)

Tell you what, that thing he does where he keeps his teeth clamped when he talks winds me up
Oh and he's a fucking prick
( Peej, Mon 27 Oct 2014, 12:25, Reply)

That thing he does where he keeps breathing winds me up.

( Kroney, Mon 27 Oct 2014, 12:29, Reply)

That thing he doesn't do where he keeps not shooting himself in the face winds me up.

Britain gets more like 1930s Germany every day
Austerity, nationalism and pricks jumping on the bandwagon left right and centre.

This shit with the sportball the other day
Some people thought "Look how passionately he supports his team"

I thought "I'd probably get arrested if I forced my way into an after game interview and went LOOKATMELOOKATMELOOKATMELOOKATMELOOKATMELOOKATME!!!!"

That's modern Britain for you
How come some cunt is allowed to smear his opinion over the tv just cos he's a 'celebrity'?

see also Stephen Fry, etc, etc.
(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Mon 27 Oct 2014, 12:27, Reply)

At least Stephen Fry is handed a platform in which to do so
I doubt we will see him barging in to a press conference anytime soon.
( Peej, Mon 27 Oct 2014, 12:31, Reply)

Stephen Fry endorses lots of things via voiceover for money therefore his opinions are suspect and cannot be trusted.

( Slippery Mick ‏, Mon 27 Oct 2014, 12:36, Reply)

exactly
but cos he has a posh accent and went to Oxbridge dumb people think he knows everything about everything.

It'll get to the point where you have to have your passport photo signed by someone off TOWIE.
(localboy purveyor of pisspoor puns, Mon 27 Oct 2014, 12:41, Reply)

'stupid persons idea of a clever person'.
I don't think Fry is stupid but when he happens to be talking about something I know about it's not difficult to see he's speaking with authority whilst going out on a limb.

Here's a review of his book.
"Brand leaves you in little doubt that he is trying to escape the ennui that follows trying everything once except incest and folk dancing. His writing is atrocious: long-winded, confused and smug; filled with references to books Brand has half read and thinkers he has half understood. At one point, he discusses whether our perception of reality is a mentally constructed illusion (don’t ask me why)"
