well i think it's rather sad

that a vast majority of those people complaining won't have heard the show, will have just read the Daily Mail and gone along with the "It's disgusting" message of the articles. Yes they made a mistake and went too far but have apologised and I think that that should be the end of it. Anyone who actually listens to either Ross or Brand will know that they can be rather crude from time to time and I doubt many of their regular listeners will be amongst those complaining.

Instead we have people all over the country saying things twice as bad as anything said on the show "they should be shot" etc and a hate campaign spreading. All for what, a joke that went too far?
