Life imitates art...

TB watched
Forgetting Sarah Marshall
again last night and can't believe this point about Russell Brand didn't come to him sooner. Every one's favourite "sex-addict"
turned up
at the G20 protests to campaign to replace "capitalism with something nicer" last week and it seems that Russell has been taken his characters too seriously. In said film Brand must have worked extremely hard to play a stupid celebrity who sleeps around and makes inappropriate comments. He also has a song called "We gotta do something":



For those of you at work, check out the lyrics:

We gotta do something,
We gotta do something,
Before mother earth gets anymore hurt,
We gotta do something!

You know I`m sorry if this is hard for you to take,
But a lot of it just needs saying,
and I don`t see anyone else out there,
giving out this message,
and if I don`t do this, Who`s gonna do it?
And maybe, if someone hears these words,
maybe the whole world gets round and listens,
to what I`m sayin`, and maybe we have a chance.
Because I don`t wanna see another child crying,
I don`t wanna see another dog dying in the streets,
I can`t see another homeless man, because it doesn`t seem right to me,
He`s got a home, and he`s not got a home,
What`s the point in that?
Why can`t we all just get together, in one big home,
and if I was in Government,
Then I`d Government things much more differentlier,
because it ain`t the best way to government things,
So there`s poor people everywhere,
You know I would just be sittin` alone,
Thinkin` "How can I do something?",
`Cos I ain`t gonna be in chains no-more,
You lot might have been conned, but I ain`t been conned,
`Cos I`m a free man, I`m free, and I`m gonna let my soul soar,
and the way I do that is through my music,
so why don`t you do something?

The Left have finally found their voice! Finally they have some to rally behind, a leader to unite them. Russell Brand should be put in charge of dealing with the global economic downturn. If only we had listened to him earlier!

With solutions to the recession like that, Brand must have fitted right in at last week's protests!

Don't think he was being entirely serious with this! He is taking the michael, it is self-aware, a joke. Enjoy arguing about the politics of it though. And yes the existence of this must make all left wing policies ridiculous!
