I understand that a lot of people might not have heard of this, but it's big news over here. Basically, Russel Brand did an obscene prank phone call to Andrew Sachs (Manuel in Fawlty Towers) which was then OKed for broadcase by the BBC. I'd be interested in reading people's opinions on this, for either side.

I'd heard about it. I'm of the opinion that those two are stupid dicks. They couldn't even be bothered to apologize properly for going way over the line.
