Tom Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 hmmmm not sure what I think about this, having watched loads of "have I got news for you" & "buzzocks" it would seem them public are complete hypocrites, as both shows contain "attacks" at celebs which seem far far worse than what brand and ross have done, I think it seems to depend on how popular the celeb is and NOT what has been done to them, for example (and not trying to take it off topic) Heather Mills, she used to and still does get serious abuse about her disabilty but no one seems to have made complaints about the jokes on tv and in the media purely as the public don't like her that much. The public can't have it both ways. I did find the phone message funny, not because of the content but because the hole they dug for themselves was amusing!hilarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, this is almost nothing turned into something massive, whereas other times people are happy to turn the blind eye.

ivan Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 One of the interviewees on the news earlier summed the whole complaints thing quite well. He said that in the main it was youngsters who couldn't see a problem with the calls while the grownups were the ones who did most of the complaining. I guess it's a respect thing - you either have it for other people or you don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Personally I'm glad Brand has quit. I hope he never works again and is forced to live on the streets, gets addicted to glue sniffing, contracts herpes off a tramp called Maurice at the back of Tesco's, gets a dog to keep him warm during the cold winter nights, but the dog pisses on him on the first night and wanders off to the local RSPCA, then random people walk past him on the way to work kicking him as they go. Before obviously finally dying horribly in a bizarre incident with a hedge trimmer. But that's just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoboblio Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 He said that in the main it was youngsters who couldn't see a problem with the calls while the grownups were the ones who did most of the complaining. I guess it's a respect thing - you either have it for other people or you don't. That's probably because old people complain a lot. So by extention of the first sentence, young people don't have respect for others, and 'grownups' do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Its all a load of rubbish, the daughter has already signed with the Sun for lot of money and will be on the cover of FHM, Nuts and Zoo within weeks.

imi Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Its all a load of rubbish, the daughter has already signed with the Sun for lot of money and will be on the cover of FHM, Nuts and Zoo within weeks. So? You cant moan about their behaviour and say punish them and then exploit for your own gain. huh? the complaint was made for the BBC to take action which they have. now if others go ahead and exploit this opportunity for their own gain, how can the BBC be responsible for that? how can you abstain from taking action in the 1st place....doesn't make sense. Ohh he is a frail old man you cant say that stuff to him....however i will now go and get my t*ts out for a bit of cash in the papers. because that wont embarras him and he'll be fine with that. some people need to pay attention. On one hand you have two idiots prank calling someones homeline a number of times with completely unacceptable behavior, while as on the other hand you have a person who has chosen to flash her tits in the papers while the readers choose to buy them. how can you equate the two? ridiculous.
