RTE aren't all talk (Shock Horror)

As posted by Una, 2fm management have decided daytime DJs Rick O'Shea and Nikki Hayes must drop all non-music items from their shows and simply introduce the music.

People are easily led

I hate the fact that Jonathan Ross has been suspended and Russell Brand has resigned and the Radio 2 Controller has resigned over an misjudged prank that would have gone unnoticed, and in fact did go unnoticed until British Red Tops whipped the braying Mob up into a frenzy. What's next? A spot of book burning?
I've spoken to a few friends about this and the ones that are really antagonised by Brand/Ross phone call haven't even listened to the broadcast, which goes to show how easily led people are. I heard it was bad so it must have been bad. 
BTW Andrew Sachs, institution that be is, rose to fame by portraying a racial stereotype. But that's funny. Right?

Bye Bye Russell

Russell Brand is one of the few comedians/pundits that I think can get away with saying the most outrageous stuff without causing the kind of offense that would happen if, say, I said the same things, I took the time to listen to the whole silly broadcast that has been all over the news, and while I thought it was less than radio gold, , in context I don't really see the big deal, they went too far. It happens. Move on.

Andrew Sachs seems Okay with it.
