Russell Brand: Who Knew?

Russell Brand, a man who was not far from completely unknown until last night, is now one of Americas biggest superstars. Russell has a record as large as his hair, he is a self-described sex addict, a former heroin addict, an alcoholic, and has bipolar disorder. Last night he left his mark while hosting the Video Music Awards (VMAs) on MTV. One of the things he is getting the most heat for is that he started the night off by begging the audience to vote for Barack Obama, and called George W. Bush a "retarded cowboy" obviously missing he fact that the term retard is politically incorrect in this country. Many people since his performance have been whining about how he came over from England and told us who to vote for, and made fun of our president, a privilege obviously reserved for Americans. During the Awards he also made numerous comments about the pop group, the Jonas Brothers, mentioning the rumoured relation between Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift, and mocked the fact that each of the Brothers wear Purity or Chastity rings. The comment about the rings angered many people including Jordin Sparks and Perez Hilton.

I will not argue with the fact that his remarks were in bad taste, but really what do you people expect, its MTV.
