A message definitely needs to be sent out to the nation at large that this kind of behaviour is not acceptable, and not to be emulated. The BBC should lead by example.
Some chance of that! Greg Dyke was forced out for less, and that's the real irony!

Agreed wholeheartedly, Greg! And I also agree that what these two idiots and the BBC done were wrong.It makes my blood boil. These highly paid foul mouthed arseholes seem to have an immunity because they have 'celebrity' status. Bollocks. They are the same as you and me and consequently should be subjected to the same scrutiny.
However, 10,000 complaints to BBC HQ is IMO somewhat ridiculous considering that there are far more serious events going on in the world such that this nonsense has no more than 'comic status'. It tells us quite clearly that there's something intrinsically flawed with the general British public's 'outrage' mentality...
I can think of far more to be outraged about that's going on in this country than the inane and inappropriate behaviour of two celebrity twats!

Whats possibly even worse is that bloody Cameron fellow using it to try to score some points by saying how terrible it all is on the news. It seems all he does is run around chasing the shirt tails of the latest sensationalist news so he can make a public comment in the hope that the public will like him more.
We all do things that seem like a good idea at the time what counts when it happens is what you do afterwards.
However there is no excuse for MP's who try to use the situation for their own gain.

Russell Brand = cock.
Frankly he's a childish moron who has never been funny, even accidentally. He associates himself with the lowest pond life on television and would be more apt the licking the windows of the local sunshine bus. He's a fool.
Jonathan Ross on the other hand is an experienced broadcaster and should know better than to associate himself with fools and their simple minded act.

You do have a way with words, Rob.
It's only taken the BBC 13 days to start doing the right thing : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7696714.stm
