My guilty secret…

I was listening to the radio on the way back from the shops and happened to catch the lunchtime news. Apparently there has been another statement released about the Jonathan Ross/Russell Brand/Radio 2 debarcle and it left me wondering WHY is this still such a hot – or even interesting – topic? 

Everyone with a pulse must have heard about the incident at the time… Yes, they were naughty boys, Yes, they should have gotten their wrists slapped, and Yes, it shouldn’t happen again… but really – is it still news!

The reason this is bugging me now is that I happen to find Russell Brand very very funny and I’m a bit peeved that liking him has somehow turned into something akin to a dirty habit… something that I should not admit to without expecting glances of dismay or outrage! There definitely seems (to me at least) to be a bit of bias against Brand too, he seems to be the one whose come out of this worse but surely JR is just as much to blame… In fact the idiot that approved the broadcasting of the show is, in my eyes at least, the mayor culprit!

But anyway, the upshot of this is that my ‘amusement’ of Brand’s style of humour is having to be hidden away… I even found myself the other night switching the tv over in the middle of Ponderland, just so as darling boyf wouldn’t know I was ‘giving in’ to my dirty, guilty habbit. Not that darling boyf even cares what I watch, I’m just so used to now ‘not admitting’ that I like RB to save myself from the disapproving glances cast about whenever the whole escapade is mentioned, that I turned the channel over without thinking…

In fact you could go so far as to say that RB has replaced chocolate as my naughty passion… something that I am happy to induldge in in the privacy of my own home but not to admit to in public! One the plus side its probably less fattening!
