The Heroics of Russell & Jonathon, Der Der Derrrr
Right, I'm ill for the first time in ages, and boy, I forgot how painstakingly dreadful day time tv is. In between cups off tea, wanking over porn hub and laughing at peoples misfortunes on Jeremy Kyle I have stumbled across a program called loose women??

What the fuck is this all about? I got quite excited when I heard the title of the program but the only thing loose about these women is the flesh hanging from their chins and lady bits. What an horrible bunch of failed tv actors, singers and journalists this sorry bunch are. I feel like revoking my tv license to be honest.

Anyway, at present they are discussing the Russell Brand and Jonathon Ross saga and the fact that cockney tight trousers left derogative comments on faulty towers star andrew sachs voicemail. These bitches are quite frankly outraged and are calling for russell and jonathons balls to be hung out to dry.

My question is, is it ok to take the piss out of anyone, or anything in order to gain comedic affect???

personally, i find it personally acceptable to mock, parody and satirise, religion, disability, race, colour, age, sex etc etc in order to gain a laugh.

Views please

anything
like this that fucks off the Daily Mail / MoS is automatically a good thing in my eyes

The Daily Mail is not the moral barometer of the nation, its a nasty, stipeful little rag staffed by cunts.

Loose women are bleaty sheep jumping on the outrage bandwagon, so they can fuck off as well

We all have different tastes/limits
Q. "is it ok to take the piss out of anyone, or anything in order to gain comedic affect."

Pretty much yes, most of the time, but thats just my personal taste.


Then again ... if the question is slightly rephrased to put it closer to the context of the Brand/Ross thing to

Q. "is it ok to take the piss out of anyone, or anything in order to gain comedic affect on the mainstream BBC funded by the taxpayer."

Then no, I don't think so. But again thats just my personal opinion.

I think they might get arsefucked if the plod get involved though as they have broken the law.

Sensible limits
I don't think comedy should be mandated, no, but the presenters should have used their moral judgement to decide whether to go ahead with their prank.

E.g. Russell Brand claiming he fucked Manuel's granddaughter ... funny? Not really but on paper, yes. Acceptable? Just. And I mean just.

E.g. Russell Brand ringing Manuel and claiming his granddaughter is dead ... Funny? To some people. Acceptable? Not in the slightest.

The latter didn't happen but say it did, for comedic effect ... do I think it's acceptable? No, I think they should both get the sack. Brand is an unfunny waste of oxygen, akin to Ricky Gervais but even less hilarious, if that's possible, and Jonathan Ross is a rude, arrogant male diva who's overpaid, underrated and a total prick.

Yep....
Have thought about it and i agree, it was a bit out of order really.

it's the bbc's fault though, it turns out a 25 year old producer from my neck of the woods was put in charge of the show.

In all fairness, how is he expected to stand up to the likes of Brand and jonathon woss?

the sad reality is, this young kid will probably get the bullet!

^ That's the saddest part of it
...because if they fired the actual perpetrators - i.e., Woss and "Ooh what a busy cock I've got" Brand - they could probably slash the licence fee and make all their viewers happier.

Am I the only one
who thinks this whole story has been blown massively out of proportion?
( Noeli overtheshoulderboulderholderthingstraplatchboobs, Tue 28 Oct 2008, 17:25, Reply)

there were
2 complaints when the show was broadcast




then the FUCKING AGGREIVED ,BLOODY FOREIGNERS TAKING OUR JOBS AND ALL HAVE TEH AIDS AND BECAUSE OF THEM WE HAVE A CREDIT CRUNCH AND NO HOUSE AND LOOK AT THESE PEOPLE MILKING THE WELFARE STATE, WHY AREN'T THEY WORKING* on Sunday ran a story on it, because they are the finger on the pulse of modern culture.

Don't get me wrong, what they said wasn't nice, and how the fuck a senior editor didn't stop this going out no-one will ever know but its hardly the Jerry Sadowitz BBC2 end of tv series gun-fight scene is it?

This
is what I mean. It's a minor story that's been taken by some hack and turned into an 'outrage' and 'heads will roll' witch-hunt. A pile of complete bollocks if you ask me. Actually makes me angry.

It wasn't funny.
When those two get together, they never are.
