OK Calm down! CALM DOWN PEOPLE!
Yes Ross acted like a fool and yes Brand is just a totally talentless self promoting scruffy tart of a bandwagon for people to jump . But anyone would think that they had committed murder. And when was it ok to presume 72 year old men were no longer capable of a joke? After all Sachs' is pretty much famous for being the recipient of workplace bullying and violence, surely he could see that Ross and Twat were joking. Or does being in your 70's render you totally at the mercy of the media's minds eye?
Of course this has enabled people to bring up the question of salaries particularly Ross on 6 million squillion pounds a year which is the takings from the old lady muggings on a Nottingham council estate and Brand who was on about half a squillion quid extorted from the hairdressers of Leicester, Accrington Stanley and the Wirral. Seemingly the proletariat feels that their tenner a month enables them to take control of the BBC. As they feel they could do it for half the price. Wrong! Do people really want a BBC that pays office worker salaries to its presenters or do they want to compete in a market where its uniqueness does more to raise its own profile than anything else?
Listen people, the BBC is the oldest largest and richest broadcasting organisation in the whole world. It is the envy of other broadcasters and provides a wealth of informative and entertaining programming on its various platforms thanks to its unique funding method. It does this as a proud representation of the UK. The Brits voted the BBC the best British brand in the country. It must be doing something right to be this envied and admired. Like any massive organisation, it is made up of humans and they are not infallible rather like the many who protested. Surely a rational mind would realise that this was a huge mistake and politely cringe it out. There are far more serious issues affecting the broadcasting world, not exclusively the exploitation of young actors who are seemingly required to drop their pants and expose themselves in almost every TV drama as a passage of rights and for the pleasure of the writers. it's just a shame that sheep people can only bleet after hearing of two sheep who happened to bleet first. I, for one, want my Friday nights back!
