Complaints Pour In After Brand's Brits

Apparently it's not OK to laugh at Robbie, Iraq...

Thursday 15th Feb 2007

Complaints have been pouring in over some of the jokes  Russell Brand made during last night's Brit Awards.

In what is the only sign of any major controversy from the ceremony, over 400 people have already complained over some of the jokes that Russell Brand made whilst presenting the ceremony.

Among Russell's targets were The Queen, the Iraq war and Robbie Williams, who earlier that day had revealed he had checked into rehab because of his drug addiction.

Some of Russell Brand's lines included:

"I think a good international breakthrough would be if the British and American soldiers tell each other where they are standing".

"Robbie Williams' medicine cabinet" (whilst pointing at a massive padlock).

and "Can you honestly say that if someone gave you an envelope with a photo of the Queen's privates in it you wouldn't have a look?"

According to the BBC, an ITV1 spokeperson has defended him calling Brand an "edgy host for an edgy event."

Russell Brand makes shocking joke: whatever next?!

  • I have to say that I thought he was rather funny although a little extreme at times....... I think people need to lighten up a bit, people know that he is a controversial character..... So what do you expect........

  • I dont think russel was being nasty. He tried to put a light hearted joke about robbie and then wished him good health but i think it wasn’t the right time, i think russel didn’t mean to offend or hurt robbie but maybe he should of deterred from the robbie jokes and just wished him good health.
