The two British comedians, Russel Brand and Jonathan Ross left some pretty outrageous and offensive phone messages on the answer machine of actor Andrew Sachs. The pair repeatedly left taunting messages on the Fawlty Towers star’s answering machine claiming Brand had slept with his granddaughter, aspiring model Georgina Baillie. Now the BBC has received nearly 30 000 complaints.
The BBC should have been more responsible, why should people pay license fees to be insulted by BBC workers? When the BBC is fine, it’s still the tax payer who pays the bill. Maybe we should not pay license fees.
Russel Brand and Jonathan Ross’s supposed to be ‘funny’ act has caused a lot of anger and complaints which led to the pair being suspended by the BBC.
But these two guys are getting more publicity, which I guess is what all these celebrities crave for isn’t it? And they surely have more work assignments in line already.
This was a case of comedy taken too far, and things like this should never be allowed to happen again. People should not be allowed to make money or gain publicity whilst insulting other people.
These presenters should learn what’s socially acceptable and what’s not acceptable. What message do they send out to kids when they say such things on national radio?
