I don't really like Russell Brand

[DaveB]

In fact I think he's a bit of a knob really, but credit where it's due for his opening piece at the MTV music awards :

During his innuendo-laden opening monologue, Brand discussed the upcoming US presidential election, publicly backing presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

"Some people, I think they're called racists, say America is not ready for a black president," he said.

"But I know America to be a forward-thinking country because otherwise why would you have let that retarded cowboy fella be president for eight years.

"We were very impressed. 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."

Apparently not according to the reports. He managed to piss off a fair few of them as well it would seem.
