What is it all about Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross’ phone call to 78-year-old actor Andrew Sach, best known for playing Manuel in Faulty Towers.

The Guardian reports.

Yesterday morning brought news that the media regulator was launching its own investigation into whether Brand and Ross had broken its rules on harm and offence when they called 78-year-old actor Andrew Sachs’ answer machine to say that Brand had “fucked your granddaughter”.

By mid-afternoon, questions had been asked in the House of Commons and the leader of the opposition had added his voice to calls for an inquiry. By early evening, complaints to the BBC had topped 10,000, the corporation was leading its own Six O’clock News with the row and the Prime Minister Gordon Brown had diverted his mind from the global financial crisis to condemn the pair’s “inappropriate and unacceptable behaviour”.

Blimey, mentioned in the House of Commons even condemnation from Gordon Brown. What is it about this phone call – lets try something replace Brand for, I don’t know much about Radio 2 presenters – there seems a dearth of women though (but that’s another story); Radio 6 is more my thing, anyway but for arguments sake lets say Jo Whiley (by the why that’s no reflection on Jo, she’s not as dim as Brand or Ross) lets replaced granddaughter for grandson, now where’s you’re outrage – I’m fed up with this sexism, why is it women have something done to them?

On the phone call – personally I hate these puerile school boy jokes – cheap humour for the dumbed down media.

The latest is news is the BBC has suspended Brand and Ross – good riddance I say – and how about filling those vacancies with a few women presenters?
