'Brand's obscene performance thrilled the critics. "Russell Brand is a bad, bad boy. Thank the punk saints for that!" gushed the Los Angeles Times. "Brand's banter, overflowing with outrageous political statements juvenile sex jokes and relentless mockery of the well-groomed pop stars surrounding him, was totally, deliriously in the spirit of transgressive rock and roll." "Many commentators," noted Entertainment Weekly, "thought Brand was hilarious and spoke truth to power."' This is precisely one of the major reasons I canceled my Entertainment Weekly subscription nearly six years ago: They not only showed their political bias but the pro Homosexual agenda was shoved in readers' faces on a regular basis.
Shapiro left out one of Brand's most specious slanders towards Sarah Palin, her daughter Bristol and boyfriend Levi Johnston - perhaps due to rage and disgust. In any case, he is spot on about MTV, Paramount, and Viacom, the corporate entity that owns this crass and classless 'music' channel. As I mentioned before, it makes me all the more happier that I no longer shell out $50 + dollars to Cox Communications to pump this bilge into my home.
Brand's imploring the audience to “please please vote for Obama because the world needs him” gives great insight into the types of people that support “the messiah”. Hopefully there will be enough sane Americans voting against Obama’s “We are the World” socialism to send a strong message to the left to crawl back into their holes. Perhaps Barack can run for president of Europe and make the world happy. I hope he takes the U.N. with him when he does.
