I find it funny how someone can call a person ‘disgusting’ only to then say he’d be better recieved if he’d mocked both politcal parties.
I believe choosing one side constitutes an opinion, something you frown upon over the Atlantic.

As for him not giving a crap about America for making a joke about 9/11? Forgetting the fact that you do stupid things when on heroine, there are plenty of well recieved American comedians - Joan Rivers, for example - who have made far worse jokes on the same subject. Do they too not care about America?
Some people handle shock with humour, obviously being a heroine addict blurrs the line of what’s funny and what’s not. He’s apologised for it, that should be that. And I know ‘9/11′ and ‘America’ are more or less interchangeable words in the US, but a joke on 9/11 isn’t a joke on the US. 2,000 dead, nothing in comparison to disasters happening all across the world, get over it. I’m sure Iraqi civilian deaths have more than made up for it.

Also, Russell Brand is responsible for Palin’s daughter’s pregnany? That’s new to me, all this time I thought she was just human and did something that millions of people do. She did it because it’s fun.
And to be honest, anyone who doesn’t make fun of people who wear ‘chastity rings’ is more at fault. Want to save yourself for marriage? Great, need to tell the world? No, no you don’t.

Though ultimately, if Russell’s comedy has offended you; the reactionary, middle-class, ignorant, naive, white Americans… Then I’m happy to be a fan, and Mr. Brand is still doing his job.

This fool was absolutely disgusting. I can’t believe MTV made such a poor choice in picking this idiot as their host of the VMA’s, and their anniversary show none the less. It seemed so one sided and biased. You don’t like George Bush, great. You don’t like John McCain, great, but some people might, so I think it may have been a little better received by the viewing audience if he also poked fun at Obama or Hilary. Who is he to comment on America’s politics anyway? He doesn’t give a crap about America, if he did, he wouldn’t have found it amusing to come to British MTV studios, the day after the 9/11 attacks dressed as Osama Bin Laden. I know its hard in this day to find a celebrity (if that’s what he is considered) that hasn’t had some sort of drug problem, but come on, he is a former sex addict, and MTV allows him to make fun of teenagers for saving themselves for marriage? And we wonder why Palin’s daughter is pregnant, because idiots like him make funs of kids that want to wait. I hope the poor women that were victims of his sex addiction got the therapy they needed. Shame on you MTV.

Gina your eloquence would impress me.

Were it not for the fact that Mr. Brand is twice as eloquent, and can be so instantaneously, spontaneously, and hilariously.

Russell Brand is a prime example of what happens when society is dumbed down, resulting in incompetent spokesmen pandering to its lowest common denominator. Russell Brand proves that gratuitous shock value, Irreverence and cheap shots are poor substitutes for real talent. At low points in history, inferior elements often gain the ear of malcontents, enabling those like the far left, and it’s shallow clique of celebrities to gain the attention of mindless lemmings who will blindly follow their counterparts like a stampeding herd, thugs in a lynch mob, or lost souls who worship a golden calf. Since these types have no real substance, luckily their existence is usually short lived.

YES! That man is seriously hilarious.

This guy was easily the funniest thing about the funniest movie of the year.

MTV…one big fuckin commercial and useless propaganda

I’ll give MTV credit for a daring outside-the-box choice as host. With an extremely lame year in mainstream music and the fact that no one has a clue what if anything is actually has been playing in MTV’s video rotation. This year will be as lame as the previous years. Hopefully without having some washed up pop star opening the show like they did last year.

It’s funny but I got fired from my job for the very same reason. The Board of Education has no sense of humor whatsoever!

They still have VMA shows? Why? MTV doesn’t even play videos!
