The Bloggers With The Most To Say
Is Russell Brand funny?
There seems to be some debate today about Russell Brand's opening monologue at the VMA's. Looking at the comments in this UK press article, it looks like he may of ruffled a few feathers over in the US.
Extract from The Times article:
Ignoring the renowned patriotism of Americans, Brand told the Hollywood audience they must vote for Barrack Obama “on behalf of the world”, before insinuating that America had lower standards than Britain when it came to picking leaders.
"Some people, I think they're called racists, say America is not ready for a black president.
"But I know America to be a forward thinking country because otherwise why would you have let that retard and cowboy fella be president for eight years?
"We were very impressed. We thought it was nice of you to let him have a go, because, in England, he wouldn't be trusted with a pair of scissors."
So what I'd like to know is if people think this is humorous or offensive?
