Russell Brand pwns useless MSNBC Talk show hosts

I'm not really a fan of Russell Brand but he sure rips the fuck out of these idiots on this dumb channel.


Did we watch the same clip? I didn't notice anyone pwning or ripping the fuck out of anyone else. What I saw was four idiots competing to score own goals, and if I have to count I'd say the conceited, boorish misogynist with the long hair scored slightly more of those than the others.

All in all 9 minutes of my life that I'll never get back, during which I learned nothing except avoid these people in future.

Knew Russell years back before fame hit him and he was a decent bloke. Doesn't come accross very well in that interview at all.

Have to agree. Not sure why the OP projected maliciousness onto it.

Four fairly normal people amiably dicking about on an inconsequential chat segment, one of whom was quite entertaining about it.
 
I find Russell Brand far too full of himself and basically up his own ass to take seriously, I don't find either of those qualities attractive, let alone in someone who might appear in my TV in my living room. Didn't he rise to prominence from C4 Big Brother, I am disappointed to say that C5 Big Brother is now using a wannaby Brand on their after show program who shares Brand's high regard for his own talents, which are way way overrated!

And you did't see one creepy rude one trying to beat the rest of them down?

Btw do you know what projection and maliciousness mean? The concepts, not the operation. You're pretty good on that.
 
For all his faults he has a certain self awareness that's missing amongst other people who live in the same 'bubble' as himself.
 
I guess you'd have to ask the lady involved if she was offended, rather than watching a video and then reading into what she might or might not have felt. But still...
 
The manosphere fucking loves this vid, they've been wanking over it all week;

The last thing Brand does is spark the attraction of the most dominant interviewer, Mika. Brand has her help him put the table back to her. This is already an act of compliance and submission on her part. Immediately after, he comments on her dress and how low cut it ism thus sexualizing the interaction. He flirtatiously tells her he is a man and he has animal desires. From then on this host is uncomfortably squirming around in a puddle of her own sexual juices. A woman will always submit to a more dominant man, it doesn’t matter if she is the host of a popular “news” program.

Thanks for that, saved me having to watch it and waste 9 minutes of my life :)
 
What if (and I don't know if this is the case) his new show contains attacks on the behaviour of Israel? In cases such as that, is a boycott really better than spreading a dissenting view?

Genuine question btw - I'm not speaking from an already set opinion.

Many Israelis are shockingly unaware of what goes on in the West Bank and Gaza. When an artist refuses to perform some people will ask why their admired artist (I can't imagine many people admiring Brand in Israel or elsewhere to be honest) has refused to play.There may also be some discussion in the media too.

Also performing will validate Israels continued violence and occupation of Palestine.

The appalling Apartheid needs to be further recognised. Adhering to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions as called for by Palestinian civil society (http://www.bdsmovement.net/call) is the least anyone can do IMO.

If Brand was to play Apartheid South Africa would you be feeling just as two minded?

That's my point. It depends what he was saying. If he was spreading an anti-apartheid message then yes I'd be 'just as two minded'.

Without knowing the content of his show these are hypotheticals of course.
