keg Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 Agree with all you say, i just don't get him at all or find him funny. His rants make no sense at all but there is a brain in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psyxologos Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 (edited) He's an intelligent bloke, unfortunately he's also a complete and utter cock I think this is a pretty accurate picture. Although I do think he has a very valid point in many things he is saying, there is something really creepy about him.

Sha Bu Le Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Wasn't thinking very much along with Wossy (another toss pot) when they pulled that so called joke on Andrew Sachs, also I can't stand his excuse for a voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamster Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 It's true his humour won't suit everyone, he has made some dire past mistakes/choices, his style or looks won't suit many and to be fair he does come across as a knob when he's acting up but he knows his stuff on who's controlling who and quite frankly his intellect and articulation is comfortably ahead of most of his internet detractors. His biggest problem is that he choses to address and take the wrong side (if you know what I mean ) in many issues which magically and predictably makes him a hate figure.

lockstockandbarrel Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Another rich celebrity who dips his toe in the ocean of common people for his own ends. As with so many celebrities I question his sincerity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loriusgarrulus Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 He probably suffers from lack of common sense which is very common in folks of high intelligence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loriusgarrulus Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Realistically, maybe we should be looking at his script writer for what comes out of his mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mentalmac Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Love it when he stands around with his unwashed hair moaning about the rich etc... then after a hard mornings protesting goes back to his exceedingly nice London townhouse...

His biggest problem is that he choses to address and take the wrong side (if you know what I mean ) in many issues which magically and predictably makes him a hate figure. There is a lot of truth in that post, he is a smart guy, but a terribly obnoxious package - to my mind anyway. This criticism was levelled at me on another thread and it is appropriate to use it in respect to Brand as well, his arguments are very meretricious, in fact his whole cause is. I guess that is true of everybody who likes to comment on much bigger issues externally, we can take a fairly polarised stance and then grossly simplify the argument so inherently the argument has little true value or substance. He is also pursuing a very populist cause, doesn't make it wrong of course, but it is easy to fly the flag as the champion of underprivileged and throw rocks at the establishment, it is much harder to actually get involved and try to make a difference by taking difficult choices and explaining why those choices have to be taken to the people that will inevitably be hurt by them. Even better if you can stand on the sideline grabbing publicity, write a book and then rub shoulders with those that you purport to despise, but of course it is all done under the guise of the rebel insider. He only participates in the showbiz glitter party scene so he can patronise these weak minded fools who actually believe their own hype.... Brand shouts ideological arguments and fairly shallow ones at that, he simply recycles rhetoric that has been shouted a million times before, but he packages it up with a bit of style and flamboyance. He is a smart guy for sure with a very keen eye for opportunity, and all credit to him for that, but he is no brilliant mind and inspirational thinker.

loriusgarrulus Posted March 31, 2015 Report Share Posted March 31, 2015 Unwashed hair. His makeup artist has probably spent hours applying just the right amount of expensive hair oil to get that look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post (although I had to look up 'meretricious' before replying) and put so much better than I could have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
