Two comedians known for flying near the knuckle were doing a radio show together and they were suppose to have the actor that played Manuel in Fawlty Towers as a guest. He didn't show up so they called him on air and got his answering machine. So, they left a message which was a bit rude and included Russel Brand saying he slept with the actor's (adult) grand daughter (which is apparently true). The actor complained to the BBC and then a paper took up the cause of an 'elderly man being harassed' and now it is apparently more important than the economy tanking since it is front page news, members of parliament asked questions about it in the house and now the BBC have suspended both from working which has resulted in a lot of tv and radio shows being canceled (they are both on a lot of shows and Ross is pretty much the highest paid person on the BBC) until they are unsuspended. Even things that have already been recorded.

I hate mass stupidity and this is it.
