In the past few days the rather talented comic Andrew Sachs (who those outside the UK may know as Manuel from the 1970’s world famous comedy Fawlty Towers) was due to appear on the Russel Brand BBC2 radio talk show. He was meant to appear alongside the most famous current UK Chat Show host Jonathan Ross.
Unfortunately the rather immature 33 year old Brand and the more immature Ross, aged 46, decided to insult Mr Sachs with taunts that Brand slept with Sachs grand daughter. The videos are below but since the show last weekend over 30,000 complaints have been received. Brand has since resigned and Ross has been suspended for 3 months with no pay, hardly a punishment for one who is already a millionaire.
I hope that I never get to see Brand or the untalented and unfunny Ross on TV again as there are far more talented presenters out there.
Meanwhile I want to leave you with a video of Pele and Maradona, who during thier lives, have criticised each other but got together a few years ago to raise a serious amount of money for charity.
It just goes to show that two men who are the legends of their game can put hostilities aside and raise a lot of money for charity and I am now glad to read are close friends. Whilst it is sad to see two other untalented tossers who I feel should be kicked off the TV and Radio for life.
Idiots
