Is This A Joke?

Russell Brand criticising a fashion house. What on earth does that guy know about fashion?

Or even - what does that guy know about comedy?

Can't stand Russell Brand. He always looks like he needs a bath.

I'm a fan.

Tried to watch one of his stand up shows (principally to see what the fuss was all about).

Well read, erudite and incredibly irritating. I lasted about 20 minutes before giving in and firing up a Sarah Millican show instead...

Got his name in the paper and answerbank didn't it .So it was worth it on his part .comedy died years ago

Headline: German businesses operating before 1945 have links to Nazi Germany shocker!

Brand takes a stand against Hugo Boss but conveniently ignores that his lilac Bentley Brooklands is ultimately a product of Volkswagen AG (Nazi links).

I do hope he also eschews Siemens (built labour camp gas chambers), the remnants of IG Farben [which include Agfa, BASF, Bayer, etc.] for manufacturing Zyklon B, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, etc., etc., etc.

Perhaps it should be more surprising to reveal the histories of non-German companies with extensive links to Nazi Germany, such as IBM, General Motors and Ford.

I'm not sure VW made the Brooklands model? I think it was dropped about the time they took over.
