what i cannot stand is garbage like the Sun and the Mail getting on their high horses - it actually makes me feel ill!!!
some of the shameful lies these 2 in particular have vomited on our streets in the guise of news beggars belief
Yes, Ross and Brand went over the top and they've apologised for it
No, you don't sack them
Storm in a teacup - interestingly, the BBC received 10000 sorry 5000 sorry 500 oops - errr....3 complaints when it was broadcast, so who are these 9997 pious listeners who weren't offended until the tabloids told them they should be?
When the Sun and the Mail leave messages on a 78 year-old's private answerphone saying they have shagged his granddaughter, I'll agree.
As for the number of complainants who did not hear the original broadcast, it's irrelevant. As licence-fee payers, we all have a right to comment on the BBC's output, whether or not we witnessed it at the time of broadcast.
you're defending the integrity of the tabloids?
I dont think Ross or Brand exactly covered themselves in glory - i listened to the recording on Youtube - you can literally feel it spinning out of control - yes it went too far but they're all part of the same game aren't they? if you listen to it - theres no malice or evil there, theres embarrassment, shame and apologies from Ross and Brand.
imagine how dull life would be if no one was offended or allowed to be offended - you can't just scream for peoples heads on the slightest mistake or error of judgement 
of those who heard the broadcast - 3 people found it necessary to complain - are you saying that we should be governed on what we can and can't have access to by a tiny, vocal and easily offended minority?
No, I'm not making a wholesale defence of the tabloids, and I think you know that. This whole episode centres around the broadcast of the deeply disturbing act of leaving highly offensive messages on someone's private answering machine...in the name of entertainment.
I don't have a granddaughter, but if someone left a giggling message on my answerphone to allege that they had had sex with her, I would be outraged. If it was then broadcast to the nation, I would be more than outraged, I would be beside myself. That's not being
easily offended, in my book, and I'm surprised you use that phrase.
And I stand by what I said earlier, that as licence-payers we all have a right to complain about the BBC's output whether or not we heard it. Incidentally, the BBC is not exactly easy to complain to and I should imagine that, on a Saturday night, it would be nigh on impossible to find anyone who would listen.
