What's pseudish about it? There's some not very funny attempts at humour - eg all the hot food stuff - but otherwise a fairly straight dissection of brand's fraudulent (and truly pseudish) patter and technique.

It's all about diggin it down the hood Dubster ;-)

Shalimar, Chic ... those were the dayz!
 
"It's hilarious". Except it isnae. I'm ambivalent about Brand, but regardless of what you think about him, this is just unnecessarily long, dull, and crucially, not "hilarious".
 
The closest this hashtag activist has come to screwing the bankers is banging Jemima Khan.
 
Fuck me..... Mr Kynaston Reeves.For what it is worth Brands reply seems reasonable enough to me.

BIG G

It's not overlong when you consider it dismantles everything brand has taken book, infinite media appearances, show, and now, it appears, movie, to say. Judged on that yardstick it's pretty economical.

I found some of it amusing, other attempts at humour painfully unfunny. The independent found it hilarious but then that's the audience brands own 6th form routine Is aimed at.

It's merit IMHO is in its methodical demolition of his act, and indeed the vacuous techniques he's borrowed from other agit prop poseurs which seem to impress a remarkable number of people

I found it tedious too. Brand seems to be taking a kicking for doing these stunts in public, ranting and raving and he gets accused of doing it all to promote himself. Even if all that is true then so what? We seem to elevate the celebrities and the rich establishment to higher levels of respectability if they take the money and say and do nothing. Do they not deserve more criticism than Mr Brand? Because he has had a spat with a Murdoch (spit) owned newspaper it seems that many have jumped on a kind of bandwagon that only wants saints and angels speaking against the bankers, the politicians and the obscenely powerful businessmen who ultimately rule it all. Again it's a case of the establishment being quite happy to, in fact to promote, low level squabbles and fights between those with no power (the demonisation of benefit claimants) to divert attention and time away from the real issues. Those real issues are contained within Russell Brand's reply.

That's one of the most dull, tedious, half-arsed and frankly pathetic attempts at a diatribe I've had the misfortune to bother reading.

And, any knob that says they preferred Brand when he was an abject cock loses all credibility for life....

"...Much as I disagree with most of your politics, I've always rather liked you. You do a good job of coming across as someone who might be fun to be around. Turns out, that's an illusion..."

What a terribly pointless twat.
 
I like Brand 'the activist', not so much 'the comedian'. Shines a light on aspects of life that I guess mainstream media would otherwise ignore.Boy who wrote the letter seems a bit of a twat imo.

And I bet he wrote it on company time!
 
Brand is an establishment japester who diverts attention from the big issues with his student grant philosophy and vacuous stunts. and he makes millions from it.

I cannot believe so many people fall for it.

For the first time in living memory the poltical establishment is under threat from the snp, ukip and to a lesser extent the greens and this plum is telling people not to vote; no wonder he's a permanent fixture on the bbc

Really? Just another economically illiterate article of which there are infinite amounts in the establishment press - with his actual attacks on the guy being a series of straw men.

So the banks create money theought debt eh? Well of course, but they are the instrument of the state in doing so, and moreover I wonder how happy the writer is that this casino is not issuing said funny money at such a rate of knots these days

The answer to his complaint is lots and lots and lots of austerity and a complete reordering of society in a highly non utopian style. I bet he'd be first to complain at that.

Useless head in the sand mewling of a brandian stripe.
 
gave up half way through that 'rant' - politically and comedically illiterate and didnt really even score on his specialist subject. I suspect those that like this already hate Brand. Some because they like things the way they are....

In the media world where Brand is put against Murdoch and the bankers - Brand is all right by me.

ps seems he's actually achieved a wee win www.independent.co.uk/news/people/proof-that-russell-brands-revolution-may-actually-be-working-9935076.html?dkdk%3Fcmpid=facebook-post
 
Feeling the need to explain why it's funny is the exact moment when you should realise that it's just not.
