No Offence Taken

I did not watch last nights Brit Awards, I was in Chertsey having a wonderful time compering the weekly comedy club at Moore's Bar. What I missed was apparently "edgy" and for some "deeply offensive" humour from Russell Brand. Here's what he said (those of a sensitive disposition, close their eyes now...) "I think a good international breakthrough would be if the British and American soldiers tell each other where they are standing". Good line. The thing is though - if he wore a suit and had a sensible haircut no-one would be offended by that, it's the media trying to find controversy where there isn't any as usual.
