Russell brand is incredibly unfunny and when trying to sound intelligent he merely comes across as tedious; someone who got a thesaurus for their birthday. I don't know why so many like him.

I actually thought it's more controversial for someone to be saying they liked him! Can't stand egomaniacs like him even if he is witty and articulate to compensate for it.

I remember there was a video doing the rounds of how brand would 'blow my mind' with his intelligence when it was really a 4 minute clip of brand talking, throwing a few big words in and generally stroking his oversized ego. Perhaps not here, but I've seen a number of people call him a hero.
Although he was spaffing on Katy perry for long enough so that's something

It's more the fact he articulated (in a very arsey way) exactly how a lot of people feel regarding government and the apathy that's overtaking most people when it comes to society and issues etc. Even though everyone hates things that are happening nobody bothers protesting because of the feeling that even though we live in democracies our voice doesn't really count and that all comes back to voting and every politician being the same.
So yeah I think people were just excited to see someone who is pretty famous and who (for better or worse) people listen to coming out and expressing so well the anger and apathy that so many feel.
He does use ridiculous words though.

Completely agree notpropaganda I think what touched a nerve for me on that issue is its something I've been saying a lot too but he got lauded for it and I got ignored/dismissed. I'm just jealous of his hair

I think he's fucking brilliant, has done well to come through the issues in his life and is a decent actor too (limited roles, of course).

I admire him more for what he's done to turn his life around, whatever anti-political insight he can give can be a bonus or a hindrance, dependent on what you think of him.

I agree with everyone on Kanye as a musician and his mental state. Yeezus was his only shit album IMO.
Here's my controversial opinion: America needs to stop being the big brother/policeman of the world. Stop being the first to donate to other countries, stop trying to delve into North Korea, and STOP getting involved in Middle Eastern conflicts and protecting Israel so constantly.
Jews have too much power in America as well. 2% of the population and you can't even say that they killed Jesus without being called Anti-Semi. We also have off from school whenever they have a religious holiday without respecting the Muslim holidays or even all the Christian holidays, fucking ridiculous.

Supporting charities, as in the aid charities not ones like RSPCA, is supporting institutional poverty because charities are the result (whether they're a bi-product or the intended result is down to what you choose to believe). Just the same as going out and buying a lostprophets album is supporting Ian Watkins.

American schools have a holiday for Yom Kippur?
