If the BBC were an organization with any respect for decency, Jonathan Ross would have been sacked on the spot, and Russell Brand blacklisted for life. Once upon a time, a man caught doing anything half as dishonourable would have been quietly approached by colleagues and left alone in a room with a tot of brandy and a loaded pistol.

Uh oh,who are these guys and what did they do?

To be honest I have no idea why they're on the air in the first place. I've never found either of them funny, and the whole sorry saga just reinforces their pointlessness. How they could think their behaviour was anything but childish and crude, I do not know.

Something I Just Saw Earlier

I'd be interested to know what you think of it.

Wow. Damn. That's revolting. But it was done in the name of entertainment so the Beeb'll do their best to defend them.

They've both been sacked/"resigned".

I'm guessing that Russell Brand is even now writing jokes about it for his show on Sunday night in Los Angeles, though. The professional offense-giver. He's going to be appearing in a Disney Christmas film, apparently. Lovely.

And since apparently Brand really did sleep with Ms. Baillie, I hope this will warn other women what kind of man he is and kind of risk they're taking if they choose to sleep with him.

Ugh. Execrable. When I was young, I grew up on imported British television, and (with the ignorance afforded by youth and an ocean's worth of distance) used to admire the BBC a great deal. How far back does this decline go?
