I’d sooner s**t in my hands and clap.
I’d sooner see that footage. Whenever you’re ready there
I’d sooner see that footage. Let’s do this!
Ah now Owen… what’ve you been told about that before, take that outside !
I’ll do it at a water protest. That way I’ll be outside and everyone will record it on their phones. It’s only a bonus that all the people standing by will be Sinn Fein.
Sounds good to me
Hey, this sounds like a protest. Are you protesting? How f**kin dare you!
Yip, watching Owen do what he has promised is much more an attraction than the ‘prize’ that’s on offer.
I love when millionaires tell us how we are being screwed by millionaires. It’s a bit like all the FF developers who are now champions of those in arrears. I think the worker who wrote this captured Brand best. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/disgruntled-rbs-worker-writes-hilarious-open-letter-to-russell-brand-after-anticapitalist-publicity-stunt-leaves-him-hungry-9930135.html
Thanks for that link, I’ll have a look this eve :)
I’d go to this screening, if I was free damn it.
That’s very funny! Brand is such a posturing prat.
How fortune we are to live at a time when Russell came along to tell us how we’re all going wrong.
did a bird poo on his tshirt in the poster?
The choice of title for a film on Russell’s ramblings is either quite clever or completely lacking in self-awareness.
Go Russell using your power for the good! Fair Play

Ah sure why not, a free beer is a free beer…. however will this mean some of us regular broadsheeters might see what each other looks like in real life?? REVERSE! REVERSE!
I know what jimmythehead and garthicus look like. Jimmy has a head and garthicus no longer looks like Garth Brookes :-(
This is true !
Having not met either person in person, I still wish to concur.
I too look exactly like a G&T from the Dawson Lounge :P
Whoa!
For ages, I thought that was a muppet. It makes more sense now
And I exist in greyscale
I look like an unfinished snowman
Stumpy has no appendages… Spaghetti hoop has a great arse and I’m fierce hairy..
I never want to see any of you – with my clothes on
Id rather chew on shards of broken glass, swallow and defecate it out while ripping apart my insides then to listen to this self obsessed hypocrites new age life theories.
Yeah? Prove it
How do i prove it? you realise that i am saying i would rather do that then see this trash but since i am not going to go see this crap, that i am not going to start chewing on broken glass.
Less back trackin’, more glass eatin’.
Also, X-rays or it didn’t happen.
Thankfully they don’t engage in meaningless hyperbole eh?
While I could take or leave Brand either way, I definitely think some of the vitriol aimed at him of late is unwarranted. He comes across as reasonably well-read and sincere and genuinely appears to be fighting for the common good and using his celebrity for that purpose . Maybe i’m mistaken though. I mean, there’s only so much hate I can have for a silly accent and odd-dress sense
He is am manipulative womaniser who is only jumping on the bandwagon because his star was starting to fade, so he jumped onto the anti gov, anti austerity, anti vax, but pro yoga and pro veganism bandwagon so he could seem cool to a new set of gullible morons.
Surprising he doesn’t have more fans on here so!
Which of his points do you disagree with? What’s wrong with liking women?
There is a difference between liking women and manipulating them into thinking your some sort of demi god with all the answers to your problems. Brand in every essence is still an addict he was addicted to Alcohol then to drugs then to women and now to power and will jump on whatever bandwagon he has to to get his fix. Like the clip above it is rich that he is complaining about what the window washers make in comparison to their bosses when essentially he probably makes more a year then their bosses do and i know he will claim that he is an artist and gets payed equitably for the work he does, except the movies and tv shows he does are trash and the trews which people seem to think is the best thing since sliced bread are just other peoples ideas and theories collated in one place with some cockney charm to make it all the more palatable.
The link that Alison T put above is pretty good at verbalising much of this. A nice read too.
Thanks Alison. Got me through the after lunch / pre home / no interest / monday slump.
I had read that before but it is nice that Alison put it up as well.
So, again, which of his points do you disagree with? Also, how is he manipulating women into thinking he’s a Demi-God? Actual specifics now Drogg, not your usual mindless ranting
Heres a link for you http://usvsth3m.com/post/russell-brand-claims-he-would-never-endorse-pick-up-artists-but-he-did-endorse-the-rules-of-the-game
So the link you posted there refers to him being the exact opposite of what you said, having changed his opinion. Powerful stuff Drogg.
See you’ve watched Forgetting Sarah Marshal then.
I don’t see it like that at all, i see someone who used to be all in the bravado of the pickup artist. But then when he sensed the tide was turning because of muppets like blanc, that he quickly turned into i am so disgusted by all this. He is a fraud who will say whatever he has to to stay in the cool spotlight.
And munkifisht i was referring more to his role as Arthur, but yeah Sarah Marshall should be up there in his pile of poo movies too.
Womanisers don’t like women.
There’s a band wagon for all that now? Can we make up our own?
Russelled by a brand leaves one riddled.
I cannot stand Russell Brand. My niece and nephew were watching Hop over Easter and I had to leave the room rather than listen to Brand (even if he was a cute bunny rabbit).
…that’s one crap cartoon, in fairness.
You should setup your own blog detailing who you don’t like and include all your quaint family anecdotes. It’ll be a hit!
I’m not sure what his point is?! Study harder and don’t waste your teenage years so you won’t end up in a dead end job cleaning windows?
But where’s the fun in that?
His articles on football were always pretty good
This
The only sawker stuff I read
Although Dion usta make me laugh
But mocking isn’t as filling
So I layve him alone now
Can’t stand the guy, his foppish pointing at problems without solutions etc, but I have to appreciate what he’s doing. The wage gap is crazy. It is essentially an asymptotic trend with the majority scrabbling around trying to survive.
In America (where these trends are set), if you have $10 in your pocket and are debt free, you’re richer that 25% of Americans.
Personally, I don’t have a fix for that. I’m not qualified or empowered to do anything about it, but I can respect someone who points at a problem and asks those who are how they can fix it.
The cynic in me believes that the reason for the debt injustice in the world suits those with money and power as those who have these things are so far removed from the rest of us scrabbling around in the dirt like the peasants from the Holy Grail point to the only things we can relate to in our daily lives, those around us. We point at the guy n the dole and blame him for our woes, or the single mother of 4, or the handicapped person who can’t work, but rarely do we point at those elevated so far above us that we don’t even think to ask why they continue to get richer. which of course is all conspiracy bullshit, but the world, with it’s booming population, becomes more and more the world of very few haves and vast majority have nots.
I can’t wait to see the red carpet photos of Broadsheet commentators.
Name badges a must!
Finally we’d get round to judging some books by their covers for a change.
The Waldo Moment.
Russell Brand?
If ye sent a paid limo down to Limerick to collect me, put me up in a 5 star hotel, and gave me free booze for the night, I think I’d be washing my hair.
Thanks all the same though.
Feck it Anne, we don’t have to go to this thing, pick me up on the way.
Hmmmm, very true. :)
How much is Russell Brand nett worth? Roughly?
Well. I’d love to go.
