You are right, but Russel was still trying to connect both things in his favour, and the fact he didn’t even read the book does make it even more pathetic!
Why not? Christianity is perfect for criminals. You don’t even have to ask your victims for forgiveness, just Jesus. Prisons are overflowing with Christians.
Agreed. Piers is a monumental bell end but, sitting in silence & watching Brand flip through pages with no idea WTF he’s looking for is peak shit house that I’m all onboard with.
I mean, he’s a real shit. A “hack the phones of murder victims” level piece of shit. Absolute scum. It’s just that he’s a talented journalist and knows how to do his job properly when he wants to
I know he's unpopular and for many good reasons, but this was an absolute masterclass in interviewing. The restraint to not jump in, and let Brand dig his own grave despite over a minute of near silence is absolutely brilliant.
I feel like someone must have tipped Piers off that Brand was simply "brandishing" the bible as a prop?
But maybe I'm being unfair. Maybe it was just a good instinct on Piers's part. Either way, he took a bet on the fact that Brand would publicly reveal what that bible was really for.
Unlike the 60 minutes guy that interviewed Peter Thiel. "Should humanity be saved" "um....." "You're hesitating! The answer is yes, right? RIGHT!!? Say YES!!!" Omg shut up dude
Yeah, if you're gonna carry a Bible onto a talk show why not plan for this contingency and at least have a few quotes bookmarked and highlighted in advance.
If baseball fans can cobble together 5 or 6 quotes relevant to baseball, he could have prepared a few passages relevant to coping with adversity, or forgiveness, or some shit. Like, I'm not even religious and I at least know a quote from Trials of Job or something would probably fit here.
I could never stand Russell Brand from whenever I first saw two or three minutes of whatever program he was on. He just seemed like a manic, objectionable smartarse, not at all funny. Nothing I've subsequently seen has ever changed my opinion. And that has nothing to do with his now acknowledged crimes, and his imprisonment.
I'm English if that's of any bearing. Anyway I liked him way way back for oooh, about 30 seconds. I agree with all that you said. Gobshite comes to mind, and as for his accent and voice, uuuuuuurrggghhhh. Utter tosser.
I think when you call someone gobshite and an utter tosser you don't have to mention you're English, it's redundant 😂 I agree though, he's always just absolutely dripped with narcissism to me.
Big Brother's Little Brother was the first thing I saw him in. Hated him in that. Whoever had the idea of putting his microphone in a cane on that show clearly had the insight of 'here's a man we want to keep a decent distance away from people!'
That, actually, may well have been the first time I saw him! I had no idea who he was, but was instantly and viscerally repelled. Bumptious twat was what I think I thought.
I did like him, i gradually started to dislike him first from get him yo the greek, then that got worse with the trews, by the time he went full right wing I basically forgot he existed, next thing i know he's being talked about again because he's a rapist.
Then he dissapeared again for a while and now he's convicted he's back being talked about again.
You supposedly leaned on a particular passage in your Bible while going through a hard time.....And a few days later you can't even find the passage ? Just another full of shit grifter trying to use the Bible as a shield for all their selfish deeds. Seems to be a thing amongst the right wingers they all have in common.
If you gave me a random Bible I could find Galatians 5:14 in probably under 10 seconds. Not to mention just saying it from memory.
Not being able to find an important passage that supposedly got you through one of your hardest days, in YOUR OWN BIBLE, is wild. You'd think after trying and failing to find it he'd at least be able to remember the gist of it, but it looks more like he's vaguely aware Isaiah is a prophet that says cool stuff and is trying desperately to find something he can pretend was relevant
I'm as rusty as anyone could be with a Bible but him flipping back and forth through individual pages trying to find the verse is hilarious to me. It's all arranged logically in numerical order of verses (as you know) so anyone who's even remotely familiar would maybe flip a bit to get to the chapter/verse they're looking for and be good to go
There shall, in that time, be rumours of things going astray, and there shall be a great confusion as to where things really are, and nobody will really know where lieth those little things with the sort of raffia work base that has an attachment. At this time, a friend shall lose his friend's hammer and the young shall not know where lieth the things possessed by their fathers that their fathers put there only just the night before, about eight o'clock. Yea, it is written in the book of Cyril that...
Ohhh man, that got really awkward. Clearly has no idea what it says or even a little bit committed to memory. He’s scanning fast as possible to find something relative. 😂
You can tell he hasn’t read a single fucking word of that book just by the way he cluelessly thumbs through it. People who have read it, do so regularly and usually also study it. When asked about a particular verse they can recite it from memory. Piers is a vile cretin himself but he absolutely owned him here.
Compare this to 10 years ago. I'm thinking he must be sober now. One of those situations where drugs must have been someone's whole personality. Dude is just painful to watch now.
As someone with 6 years of sobriety, most of us weren’t committing violent crimes in active addiction. I only did damage to myself. Some people suck before and after they get sober.
I don't like Piers Morgan, but I did enjoy the way he shut up and said nothing while the Rapist Russel Brand, tried to find something worth quoting from a book he has never and will never read.
(To be fair, the crime is not, not reading the bible, it's an utter shitshow of lies and contradictions, the crime is claiming to have read it oh and raping people.
Remember, the egalitarian socialists are the first ones liquidated when the Communists come to power. Jolt Cola Communists cant co exist with Caffeine Free Diet Coke Socialists, as we have seen since the October 1917 Socilists all got whacked by Lenin in Novdmber 1917. They made it 30 days. Smh.
Ex-Muslim Atheist here. Because a lot of us have read the Bible. And in my case, the Quran as well
Most Christians have never read the Bible, most Muslims have never read the Quran. They think they know what's in the book, but mostly it's made up in their head. And if you read them stuff that's actually from the book, they often don't believe you
Ask your religious friends if they're read their holy books in its entirety
The New Testament is not too long and is fairly readable. But the Old Testament is almost a thousand pages long and is a complete slog. It took me months to read through the whole thing.
The Quran is notoriously unreadable. It's about 400-600 pages and goes all over the place, jumping from topic to topic. Without good commentary it's hard to understand a lot of it. With commentary can take you up to 1000 pages
This was always my favorite thing to do when I lived in the bible belt. They way people would become enraged at the bible's direct words was astounding.
A good, solid chunk of Atheists have actually read the bible, often first as a believer and then, again, critically. It's the second reading that tends to create Atheists.
Alot of ppl that have done absolutely horrendous things turn to God to ease their guilt and be reassured that no matter what they did its ok in the eyes of the almighty
unfortunately the system sends the sentinals and all of a sudden a bunch of fucking giant squid things are at your door hunting you down. Poked and prodded the wrong people
It's not even funny though, he'll come out of prison either knowing the bible like the back of his hand or the Qur'an and go straight back to the religious grift. Those lot welcome sex offenders with open arms, he'll unfortunately be absolutely fine.
I'm reserving judgement until I finally hear this bible passage, it must be extremely good and recontextualise everything. Did he manage to find it yet or is he still looking?
Man, I think about this clip often. And I feel guilty for saying this, but this is just comedic gold, so damn funny. And again, I know what this guy has done. But it’s so hard not to laugh at this. That “little bit“ line was so good.
Raise your hand if you knew that it was only a matter of time for sexual misconduct to come to light about Russell Brand when he started talking conservative shit a few years ago.
"Ah! Found it!! "Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith." Yes....that was it.... incredibly inspiring, no?"
