Russell Brand, Come on down!

@Horace said in Russell Brand, Come on down!:

I don't doubt that he has some extraordinary mental horsepower, at least when it comes to weaving a ton of words together on the fly. But lots of people think he's an incoherent crazy person.

He was, when he was coked up and kicking. He's also an extremely good writer, occasionally weird subject matter notwithstanding.

The United Kingdom wants Brand removed from Rumble:

Rumble: FOAD.

[Horace]

Good for rumble. Witness the culture wars being fought.

[George K]

Megyn Kelly commented that the accusations against Brand seem pretty credible, particularly the contemporaneous visit to an ER after the alleged assault and a rape kit being taken.

But...that's for courts to decide.

[Horace]

Yes they are credible.

[Mik]

They seem so. But due process is due him like anyone else.

[Horace]

I’m not clear when a company like YouTube becomes ethically free to monetize a criminal’s videos. I don’t think anybody is clear about that. Actually some deep thinking about ethics is probably never involved to begin with. We appear to be fine with letting people into society even after they’ve been convicted and punished. Most areas of society at least.

Catch the opening monologue...

Link to video

[Rainman]

Jolly, what the hell was that?

[Doctor Phibes]

Did somebody hack Jolly? It was originally a Gutfeld program, but it's been replaced by something even weirder...

[Horace]

It’s the same link. The video was replaced.

[Rainman]

Must be mushroom season down south, eh, maybe?

I'm guessing the illuminati are behind this.

[Rainman]

No no no no no.
It's just exactly what Jolly intended.
Clever guy, wink wink nod nod double-wink spit.

[Doctor Phibes]

Fox is certainly a lot more diverse since Lachlan took over

Correct.

[George K]

One thing to demonetize Brand for these alleged affairs.

Quite another to demonetize someone who links Brand.

[Mik]

Both things are dead wrong. They should be sued into oblivion.

[Jolly]

Another stupid corporate decision. I see multiple examples of companies killing their own product.

With the Brand allegations, this is really easy. Innocent until proven guilty. If convicted, boot him off. If not, roll as usual.

Lot of problems at YT right now, and it's getting worse...

On Monday, a spokesperson for the Thames Valley Police in South East England told ABC News in a statement that "in the past two weeks, [we] received new information in relation to harassment and stalking allegations dating back to 2018."

"This information is being investigated; as such it would be inappropriate to comment on an ongoing investigation," the Thames Valley Police added.
