The Genuis Of Russell Brand

“The genius of Russell Brand.” So proclaimed MTV after Brand did a "bang up job" hosting the 2008 MTV Music Video Awards. I am just guessing, but it would appear that the “genius bar” has been lowered slightly since the day of Albert Einstein.

In a night that had “entertainment reporters” rejoicing in the “comeback of Britney Spears (disregarding the fact that they were the ones that trashed her for the past two-years),” Brand was applauded for his brave “candor.” What the world witnessed from Brand was hardly candor, but more of the same tripe coming from the mouth of another MTV created celebrity.

Brand is no stranger to controversy, most notably appearing on TV the day after 9/11 dressed as Osama Bin Laden. And it was of no surprise that the audience, both in attendance and watching at home, laughed and applauded when he referred to President Bush as “a retarded cowboy,” mocking the United States for electing him. Nor was there any doubt that all the "titans of world conscience" in attendance would applaud in agreement as Brand begged the United States(on behalf of the World no less) not to be racist, and vote for Barrack Obama.

Brand would spend the rest of the evening mocking the Jonas Brothers and Jordin Sparks for their dedication to their principles, and going for cheap laughs directed at the Palin Family. Yes indeed, Brand is one class act, and deserving of the success that will no doubt come his way in America. This is what “free-thinking” liberals present as “tolerant.” A foul mouthed European lecturing America on their shortcomings. Excuse me for asking Mr. Brand, but if England is "so enlightened" would you please tell me the name of your first Black Prime Minister? Better yet, how about the name of your country's first female Prime Minister?


And for those laughing and applauding as Brand insulted your country and our leaders in front of the whole world. When did you first realize that the opinion of a foulmouthed, drug addict was more important than your country?
