Russell Brand's Jon Stewart And Dennis Miller Problem

Russell Brand is such an unfunny, unappealing performer, as well as such an unctuous attention-whore, that I truly believe that he has a Jon Stewart and Dennis Miller problem.  That problem is that like Stewart and Miller, he is not very bright a vacuous fuckhead relying on the talent of writers and managers to position him in such a way to materially benefit Russell Brand Inc.  Whether these ideas he is parroting have merit surely is a useful discussion which has almost nothing to do with Russell Brand in particular--and his critics slagging him for his "beautiful woman" quip risk lapsing into asinine self-parody.  Brand is a comedian of sorts after all, and his schtick is many things, but accusing him of "lazy sexism" is hilariously naive.  The critics who can't understand how Brand is delivering his message are probably not up to discussing Russell Brand, Russell Brand Inc, or revolutionary social commentary of any sort, even if it is coming from fatuous comedians like Russell Brand or Jon Stewart or Dennis Miller--or anyone else.
