He has interesting views, personally I'm not a fan of his comedy but he has become rather interesting since his foray into politics.

He's what I know as hypocrisy at it's finiest, preaching to the masses yet not practising what he preaches.

Even more embarrasing would be the lower spec variants of the VF in HSV's stable getting whopped by a factory XR8.

Probably the worst narcissists I have ever had the misfortune of wasting my time watching. He is a cult figure for the nut-job left wing ratbag oxygen thieving Murdoch conspiracy theorists in the world, but he has no problem gaining fame and fortune from the system he says is corrupt, he wants to be Lord Mayor of London. Chemical Ali has more credibility than Brand. If anyone every tell you drugs are harmless, show them Brand.

FFS, he sent Katy Perry a SMS seeking a divorce!

Katy Perry has extremely bad taste.

Never found Russell Brand funny at all - he's just crass with no class or talent.

Cheers!

He nailed Katy Perry - WIN. Always admire a man punching above his weight.

In all other respects FAIL.

If you've ever seen Katy Perry without the kilo of makeup on, you would realise she isn't that big of a win!

She actually doesn't look that bad. Google 'celebs without make-up'. Nothing new here. Forgive me if I'm wrong, I havn't watched reality T.V since about 2004.

He should stick to what he does best - carving veins into cucumbers.

He just isn't funny at all, and he is a world class hypocrite who has received massive exposure from being with a celebrity. Sort of like that Tim what's his name that shacked up with the former PM.

He does speak the truth when he occasionally slams Fox News from wall to wall, need to give credit for that.

About 20% of Brand's non-comic comments have merit. He sounds like a teenager at other times who's angry with the world and thinks it can be fixed in 5 minutes.

Its the Australian taxation system he should be railing against. No more income tax please! and raise the GST to catch the bludgers, cheats and crooks.

Sorry, but that's only going to work if you get rid of "cash".

Could be done, but watch the government that suggests it get creamed in the polls at the next election. The black economy votes too!!

His voice is terribly annoying and a complete mismatch to his look. When he opens his mouth its like a Jaguar driving past with a Morris Mini engine note..

Brand is truly an pathetic A-hole.

http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/cele...17-1293lr.html

So if asking for an ISIS flag, holding people captive, actually killing people, all in the name of promoting a voilent culture with a superiority complex, if this isn't terrorism, then what is?
