PS Paul Grady just appeared on Skynews saying he can't believe the PM is getting involved when there is the credit crunch etc..
A member of the public has also commented that it "is a pity that certain sections of the press don't put as much effort into rallying protest about fuel tax etc as they do in vilifying two popular comedians for one questionable taste sketch. Small issues for small minds....."
So I'd better stop posting on this thread pdq!

We have progress: Ross's TV show has been cancelled 
Not that I care one iota about the phone messages, I just wanted rid of Ross for the sakes of it. Maybe they could replace it with a celebrity chat show that has a more entertaining presenter? Maybe bring back Angus Deayton LOL (joke: I find him pretty boring, as he's rubbish without a script).
Credit due to the Daily Mail readers, just shows they really are the ones who run this country.

How would they like it if someone came into their bedroom in the middle of the night and drenched them in gin and started fondling their legs and then playing with their ***** until it made a horrid mess? Not very much, is what I think. Filthy boys. We should kill them with lions.

I have to say that remark is a pretty good indication of your own character and style of thinking.
I was surprised to see that it had to be brought up that Kenny Everett was homosexual. That was well known at the time and did nothing to decrease his popularity which was as it should be. His skill and talent transcended any negative ideas that the public may have felt about his sexuality.
No one would have taken his comment about bombing Russia seriously and although his remark about Michael Foot's stick could be labelled mildly rude, it was nowhere near in the class of Ross and Brand's disgraceful behaviour.
At least Brand has had the good grace to resign, if in fact that was his own idea, and his apology, although hard to say whether sincere or not, was a step in the right direction.
I find it galling to see that while Ross is suspended, he is still being paid £16K a day for doing nothing even though no further proof is needed of what actually happened.
This whole business reduces to extremely bad behaviour in the face of public and moral decency. Anyone who thinks there was any form of acceptable humour involved needs to look closely at their own ideals. The fact that Andrew Sachs has said he does not wish to take any action against them is more of an indication of his forgiving nature rather than that the offence is not as bad as is being said.
If this sort of behaviour was condoned, it would be yet another step in the direction of total moral depravity which it where this country has been encouraged to be heading.

Absolutely. Without hesitation.
I wonder how offended the myriad complainants would be about this:

I have to say that whilst the gag (which was funny) may of been in bad taste I think that sacking them or forcing them to resign may of been over the top
It I had been the director at the BBC I would of said that to end the nonsense and make everyone happy I would of got Andrew Sachs to call Russel Brand up and abuse him by telling him that he also fukked his granddaughter.....
Everyone's happy

OK, they have both been suitably chastened, perhaps its time to move on, I think we need people like these two on telly, more so Russell Brand, he is very witty and free thinking, I like Jonathan Ross as well but I cant get past his creepy approach to female guests sometimes.
Brand has done the decent thing and has resigned and apologised, I fail to see, short of falling on a sword what else he can do ?
They got carried away and overstepped the mark, Andrew Sachs didnt deserve that but he will survive, his grandaughter has now acheived Z list celebrity status.
I think once they are back on the telly, and lets face it we arent going to get rid of them that easy it will have reigned them in a bit.
I read Brands Autobiography, he knows he is a ****, he apologises for being one but actually comes across as a quite decent bloke, I bet he stinks of fannies though

Well said. A comparison to holding views like Mary Whitehouse is quite a strange one when you look at her blanket morality beliefs.
