Russell Brand

What is going on with Russell Brand lately? I've just had an email from Change.org asking me to support his latest bandwagon effort against property developers. If you find his website, there are a huge number of video clips of him (half dressed) expounding views on all manner of topics. I've got to assume he's got a new Public Relations manager and is trying to promote his image as caring and even normal. Personally I think any petition he starts is doomed; the man is branded forever to be a loser and tosser!

Re: Russell Brand

I must say that I consider him to be an obnoxious, publicity seeking moron. I can never forgive him for the boorish exhibition he made of himself on Have I Got News For You a few years ago. I avoid reading anything by him. I also make sure that I never see him on television.

I think Mr Brand has entered a Bite the hand that feeds you phase.

Re: Russell Brand

I've only seen him on TV once and I believe that it was a Royal Variety Show. I don't know what the queen thought of him but I thought he was rubbish.

Re: Russell Brand

I quite like Russel something about him is honest and he does care, I first saw him when he was part of BB on channel 4.
He tries to help people and I think this latest incarnation is another way he is trying to make the world better, misguided as he is at least he is trying.
Never forget when a few years ago he was photographed helping a homeless man, it was obviously so honest and caring how he went about it but the papers tried to destroy him with the article they wrote making it look like he was so dirty he would eat from a bin. Something about him makes me think he is essentially just a man trying to make the world better.

I think it's all a set-up. New PR man, new image public like-ability. I agree with the moron, obnoxious views......

Very few are blessed with that these days, but even so I think we have to applaud people who try.
