… I didn’t mean to suggest that anyone who is offended by the Brand / Ross calls is prudish…just that people who were offended by the Janet Jackson episode were unfairly labeled as such.

Reasonable people will disagree…

And — what about this one?

That was never aired because — in C4’s opinion — it violated the broadcast code… what a shame…

Jonathan Ross and Russel Brand are my favourite comics in the media today, although i agree that the other day's actions were inappropriate, i do not agree with the word "abuse" that is often used! The way i look at it is Jonathan said something that he would find funny ( clearly other people would to) and you could tell that he regretted it immediatley, if he would have faltered straight away he would have betrayed his cheeky chappie image and as for Russel we all know that he just breathed in and carried on. I can't believe that they intended to cause such uproar and let's face it ...the media has been looking for an oportunity to grab jonathan ever since the 18 million contract...... which is bang out of order.........PUBLIC APOLOGY that is all that should happen.
