Loveless Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Is it snowing on the moral high ground? I'm not taking the moral highground; for the record I don't think the female involved in this incident is innocent either. I'm also not fishing, I've stated how I feel about two social issues, and I hardly hold completely controversial views on them. riverrun, past Eve and Adam’s, from swerve of shore to bend of bay, brings us by a commodius vicus of recirculation back to Howth Castle and Environs.

Davie McArthur Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Shagging a lady and bragging about it to the nation whilst telling her Granda via his answerphone. IMO that's morally bankrupt behaviour. Sinful if you will. As to when R2 changed, I couldn't say. My radio's tuned to radio 4. Good man, so is mine. The only decent radio station left. MARTY OUT!!!!!

chrissiboi Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Has all the worlds problems been solved ? Every news show has this as its leading story . Channel 4 had some guy blethering on about a form of bullying ? Jez oh catch a grip . I was thinking about some of the shows that were on TV before Fawlty Towers springs to mind could that hilarious show be shown today to our sensitive audiences today ? Programmes like that offended everyone the elderly , the Spanish , the Germans . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piehutt Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 This is just mental. 27,000 complaints!! Looks like people can spot a bandwagon a mile off!?!?!? I mean how many people were even listening to the show when it was aired the 1st time. This is just the media making a total mountain out of something and creating a storm that wouldn't otherwise have existed.

Guest David Edwards Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Good man, so is mine. The only decent radio station left. Radio 7 is OK as well. Getting back to my original point, I think a radical review of public service broadcasting is long overdue. The service should be pared down, and the crass, puerile celebrity cultures disposed of, including the grossly overpaid presenters. Two TV channels would suffice, much of BBC4 could be combined with BBC2 and the awful BBC3 should be ditched altogether. Likewise with the Radio stations, surely two stations would be enough again. Reduce the quantity and increase the quality I say but whatever, the decline in standards, (of which the Woss and Brand episode is only one example), must be reversed.

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their consciences."The goal of Socialism is Communism- Lenin Je ne suis pas Marxiste : K Marx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alibi Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Yes, as the song goes, 51 channels and nothing on. One channel suitable for those with an IQ above 80 would be nice. And get all this celebrity X-factor dancing on ice out of here brother nonsense to feck. And ban any show that requests people to phone in to vote.

Aye - Bring back "Grumpy Old Men", that's what I say!! Actually, what we need is an "X-Factor" type show where they audition for new "Grumpies" - would be funny, and they'd talk a lot of sense too!! harrumph harrumph.............................

xj2006 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 did anyone know that Russell Brand was sacked by MTV after arriving for work dressed as terrorist Osama Bin Laden the day after the September 11 terror attacks? a bit of a wally is that boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymcc1874 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 The whole thing is utterly pathetic. I actually had no interest in Russell Brand but because of this I've been listening to some of his stuff and it's actually quite funny. TTG JIM!!!

Deliberately controversial choice, and it worked! I think the BBC are due to deliver their verdict ahead of the evening news programmes! Will Wossy get the sack, or be punished with a continued suspension from presenting his programmes for a few weeks?

michigan_ton Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Brand can be quite funny, but seems to have hit a raw nerve with this one! On have i got news for you, when Roy Hattersley never appeared on the show the replaced him with a tub of lard, which I suppose could be taken very offensive from him also. Mountain out of a molehill indeed. "Only by understanding what a rebellion accomplishes can we see its limitations.
