Russell Brand.

95% of what he does is to further himself.

95% of what ANYONE does is to further themselves, you are not excluded from that if you take a few minuets to think about how you run your life and how giving you are in that last 5%

He is politically motivated no doubt. Don't cast him off as a dim celebrity attention seeker, he has millions of followers and a specific aim.

And? This isn't the point.
The point is he's furthering himself. Not some epic new revolutionary God, who's going to bring change.
Way to miss the point.
 
It does seem that way does it. His brand is far higher than it has ever been. He is far more in demand. Perhaps you should try this critical thinking.

And what has he done with that new found fame?

I don't see him in any movies, I don't see him raking it in.

He just recently released a book and all of income from that book went to charity.

Oh man he's raking dat moneyz in.

what so by agreeing with you i missed the point ?

Your just furthering yourself just the same and not calling yourself a god ? whats the difference if you take away the part where he hasn't actually called himself a revolutionary god. He is pretty much a Christian, therefore he wouldn't assume himself to be a god.

so whats the difference between him and you ? (( apart from the money / girls / fame ))
 
So you haven't seen him presenting TV, writing news, speeches etc. Which are all paid and paid a lot higher than some 2nd rate comedy tour.

What are you on about.
The difference is that people in this thread be live his message and follow an idiot and think he's making no money from it.
I don't care that he's making money or furthering himself.

So again way to miss the point.

All higher paid than acting?

He was pretty much ALREADY famous before this.

The dude had been in multiple films before this, i'm failing to see how he's riding the "Fame bandwagon" when he already had a ton of fame.

right, i did think you were going to actually read posts. never mind.

your throwing out claims and not backing them up or answering questions, just mud slinging.

There are different level of famous.
He has far more media time now, and that is celebrities number one credit rating. More popular and high profile, the mire you can charge and make in a 1000 different ways.
 
Oh man, even the chaps have damp panties for Brand.

If he has retired to champion the cause of the poor, an announcement of such followed by unpaid appearances would help the sceptics who don't have the vision to realize Brand's true greatness.
 
I think there is a great deal of pent up jealousy in this thread. Maybe it's because he married Katy Perry.

part of it is that isn't it, i mean the UK is known for knocking people down who are successful no matter how they made it. In the US they celebrate success. What a twisted up culture eh ? Then again the man is potentially using the poor for his own gain

( ironic really )

It has nothing to do with success. The issue is in the people blindly following him and agreeing with anything he says. Even if it goes against what he actually wants to achieve. Ao has very little to do with him. And more to do with people like you and many others in this thread.

Please tell me how people not voting will change anything in his direction?
When older people are statistically far more likely to vote and vote in the other direction. So if you follow that plan, not only don't you achieve the plan, you actually swing politics away from you.
 
Out of curiosity, what would you propose he should do in order to put himself right in the eyes of people like you?

Make some sort of sense. Nothing more nothing less. Don't care if he makes money out of it, all politicians do.
Other than brining his own brand, he has literally done nothing. No new subjects that haven't been debated to death for years. No plans on how to fox it. In fact his only plans would actually make his ideas less likely.

What utter tripe.

so first you don't read. then you don't read again, and then again you don't read..

and then you tar me and others with the Brand brush as if we all love the guy. Did you even read the thread ? do I have to quote myself saying i think the guy is an arse ? or that he is potentially leading the poor down a merry path etc..

you even quoted my post without this bit:

Then again the man is potentially using the poor for his own gain


stay off the drugs son.
