Russell Brand vs. Jeremy Paxman

[BoristheBiter]

Nope........

I think you're wrong.
He made what? 100 mil from get him to the greek? sounds like another rich wanker celebrity telling us how we should behave after making a shit load of cash for nothing.

He should be politics as that interview is classic "interview 101" spout some cliche lines that no one will disagree with then attack the interviewer for not agreeing with them.

He's a hypocrite like most other celebrity's. only opening their mouth to get into the media to promote something else they are trying to make money on.

The one you posted.
What didn't you watch it or were you so busy jerking off to it you didn't actually pay it any attention?

Of course I watched it. He's talking about it and just because he isn't living it, it doesn't make him a hypocrite. the world turns, until it doesn't, then we'll find out who the hypocrites are. So pop yer penis back on yer head and stop using it as a brain substitute for your keyboard ravings.

WTF do you think the word hypocrite means?

I never thought you could out retard yourself but today you have shown a new level of stupid

[Ulsterkiwi]

I watched or rather endured this interview. Its hard not to think he was brought in to edit the New Statesman as a publicity move, fair enough.
He is not the only "comedian" to say he uses his comedy to comment on society. I found the interview tedious and disappointing because this should have been his opportunity to expound the detail of his ideas, put some meat on the bones. Instead he rattles off a series of unoriginal sound-bytes.
In my line of work I might engage in a project which takes a year to execute. I then try and get time and space at a conference to tell others what I and my colleagues have been doing, what we have found out or learned and where to go from here. If I am lucky I will get 12 minutes, 12 minutes to explain the 6 months to a year that went into planning a project and the years work to follow it through! This bugger got a free run on national TV to make a difference, to add something to the mix and he utterly failed to do so.
He sounds articulate and he thinks fast, no doubt about it. However there is no training or discipline in that thinking so it just comes out as a jumble of incoherent jibes and jabs at all the things he doesnt like and the baggage he has accumulated along his life's journey.
Paxman gave him any number of opportunities to explain what he wanted to see and to describe in some detail at least how it might happen. He was more concerned with trying to make Paxman look like the enemy. Childish.

Well said and couldn't agree more.

So you give something the context that you decide and therefore he's a hypocrite. I can play that game too. Bill Gates and them thar folk who give to charity must be hypocrites too... after all they live in big houses and want to end poverty and save lives etc... why aren't they living on the streets and devoting every single moment of their lives to getting the job done?

Whatevs bro.

So you listened to what he said with an open mind then? Other than him saying that he hasn't invented a system that will solve the issues he's talking about yet... and that was in the very first minute. Awesome critique man.

Yep that's dead right. all these fuckers cry about poverty and give away a million here and there and all is good with the world while makeing billions, they're fucking hypocrites the lot of them.
Bill Gates (seeing you used him) makes more money pa than it costs to run the US health service

The only two to put up is sir Bob and Will I Am.

all the rest, including your wet dream russell bland, can go fuck off.

And yet poverty still exists and the US health service is still, well, fucked. If all it takes is money, then why isn't it working? Perhaps they should get their arses onto the front line for the rest of their lives or run for office with their great ideas. But no, they carry on perpetuating the very same system that causes the injustices in the world today. They're hypocrites with the means to do something about it, Brand included, yet he's the only one I've seen, so far, that's using his TV time to spread the word.

Meh, have either of them done the job yet? I feel for Bob, fucked if I know who William is. Is he the new Chelsea signing?

Funny, some of us think the same about you lot.

yes actually, I did. I critiqued his response to this interview opportunity. The interview was clearly set in place to find out what exactly he was envisaging happening and he clearly hasn't thought it through. The man is as entitled to his opinions as the next but I do believe he was given a golden opportunity to make solid proposals (even one would have been good) about how to realise his ideas and he blew it. He heavily criticised the political classes for not doing anything, fair enough, but he then did exactly what politicians do which is talk up his ideas but never actually get around to substantiating how those ideas might work. Look I am not saying he has to have every detail worked out but lets just say for one minute that the people of the UK were to say "ok Russell mate, lets do it your way, all executive power sits with you now, we will do things the way you suggest, so....what now?" what would he do? He is like every other amateur who looks on and says of a professional " I can do that, easy!" Its all well and good until it comes to actually delivering.

And what is a critique anyway? Do you know? I didnt make any comment about whether I agreed with him or not, or whether I find his jokes funny. The test I applied was whether or not he had answered the question asked, a question he had formulated himself. He was being interviewed about his vision of how to make the world a better place because he proposes the current system of democracy isnt working. Great! Not even Paxman was disagreeing with him. I genuinely wanted to hear what his ideas were but he failed to deliver. So, did he answer his own question? No, he described it and extended the definition, he has not added to the knowledge or understanding around the problem. Thats a fail.

Hang on, did you just agree with me? did you just just post that brand was a hypocrite?

you need to watch more than left leaning you tube clips to gain your knowledge.


If we fucked off who would you argue with?

[Banditbandit]

Oh so it's "money is the route of all evil and anyone that makes a profit is the devil unless it's me and then it's all right" theory then.

And that's not even the quote ... Interesting spelling tho'

[Tazz]

Bugger this money noise. Maybe we should just go back to bartering with chickens and blankets.
