Russell Brand VMA VIDEO!
VIDEO! Watch the VMAs video of Russell Brand calling George Bush a “retard cowboy”, making fun of Jonas Brothers purity rings, and calling Britney Jesus Christ. Bush a “retard”?
Do you think Russell Brand as a comic using “retard” for a laugh in an awards show was appropriate?
“Retard” has no place in a comic’s routine for the opening of any awards show, period.
“Please, America, elect Barack Obama. On behalf of the world. Some people, I think they’re called racists, say America is not ready for a black president. But I know America to be a forward-thinking country because otherwise why would you have let that retard and cowboy fella be president for eight years?”
“We thought it was nice of you to let him have a go, because in England he wouldn’t be trusted with a pair of scissors.”
On Britney Spears: “Consider this the resurrection of Britney Spears. If there was a female Christ, it’s Britney.”
On purity rings: ‘I’ve got to say sorry because I said them things about promise rings. So promise rings, I’m well up for it, well done everyone. It’s just that a bit of sex occasionally never hurt anybody.”
The LA Times says of the show: “The 2008 VMAs were poised to mark the return of Britney Spears. Instead, they will go down in history as the night when that English guy from Forgetting Sarah Marshall almost made the Jonas Brothers cry.”
