The one for the videogamers

The one with Brand and Ross again

So, since I scratched out the last blog, Russell Brand has quit. Proper order. He's taken enough shit over something that has been blown so far out of proportion at this stage, its bigger than the large hadron collider. Brand is a huge loss for the BBC. As for Jonathan Ross's future, well by all accounts, that could be decided over the next 24 hours as well. I'm am disappointed and saddened that he had to quit over something that is; at this point, in my view, quite trivial.

One of the articles I read, had a quote from Sachs grand daughter this morning saying shes "delighted that justice has been done". Well isn't that a whole load of shite. Has she even heard the audio that was broadcast. After all it was Ross that made the comment that has caused so much over exaggerated bullshit, not Brand. Well she's get her pound of flesh and is still looking for more. 

In fairness to the lads they provide quality radio and television in my view. Ive been listening and watching them for years. They're so far removed from the savages that blurt out the same oul "That was U2, more good music still to come. Text us on 9809348503894503489. Hello to Johnny driving the van. This is Bland FM" That isn't good radio, its shit radio. If a radio show doesn't have a presenter with a personality and a wack of some form of content, then again, in my view that show is shite.

I'm not defending what was done, see my previous post for my take on what happened as I'm not repeating it. But this is bonkers. And to be honest, its ground some of my gears into mush. Over 30,000 complaints at this point as well. I find that quite hard to believe. Have all 30,000 complainants heard the audio, or are they jumping on the self righteous band wagon.  I feel sorry for Brand and Ross, but I feel even more sorry for Sachs grand daughter. Figure that one out!

The one with my take on Brand and Ross

Right, Im gonna make this quick as Im kinda screwed for time today. The audio from the Manuel carryon is below this on a previous post. People have been asking me for my take on what happened.

In my view, its as simple as this. The producer who left this go to broadcast will or should lose their job. To me, the fact the Wossy said "fucked" and it wasnt bleeped out at the very least, let alone edited out tells me that no body bothered to listen to the PRE-RECORD. That is shite producing in its highest form. TV shows and radio shows (where pre-recorded) are edited quite a bit to keep things tight and in time. How fucked got through the net is beyond me. Ridiculous. I, personally, didnt find the thing offensive at all. At the same time it wasnt hilarious, and probably went on for longer than it should have. Getting it announced on national radio that you slept with the host probably isnt the best thing, but if a producer had done their job, a simple edit is all that it would have taken. To me, there certainly wasnt any malice in it. Just a bit of craic!

At this point, Andrew Sachs has not spoke to his grand-daughter or even seen her and he has welcomed the apologies. Her picture is plastered all over a couple of the tabloids and it is great publicity for this wan. If anybody was in her position, in some unheard of band and a wannabe model, this is the equivilent of winning the publicity lotto. She's milking it too much in my view, but wait for the tv show appearances and the "Oh woah is me, I havent slept since that terrible time" lines. 

As for Brand and Ross being suspended, thats a bit harsh. Whats happened to the production team?????? Remember as previously mentioned this was NOT live!!!! Will they get the boot? Id be very suprised if they did. Given the contracts they have et.etc.etc. and they simply would walk right into another tv and radio show and cream millions out of it!

The whole thing is a fuckin circus at this stage and it'll be forgotten about in a week.

The one with Scotty Too Hotty

Scotty Too Hotty will be on the show tonight, ahead of the American Rampage tour which happens THIS Friday night at Neptune Stadium. Its all worms, wrestling and sheep!!!Make sure ya dont miss out!

The one with Brand and Ross

Well I spent most of the weekend dying with my fuckin sinus, but this did make me laugh. I'd suspect a producer somewhere will be after getting their balls or lady bits, crushed with a meat tenderiser over this one getting through!!! Do I think it was out of order, honestly not really, but thats me. But for a pre-recorded show to have the word "fucked" in it, tis lazy ass production it is. 

Back on the air tonight from 9pm!
