          Love him or loathe him, Russell Brand knows how to put an audience in the palm of his hands – and things were no different at this year’s GQ Awards, going as far as getting kicked out of the after-party.
          Whilst on stage speaking, Brand deemed it suitable to point out some historical links that the main event sponsor, Hugo Boss, would probably rather the general population forgot about. Not if Brand has anything to do with it.
          The historical link in question, was the clothing company’s close affiliation to the one of the most documented genocides in the history of mankind, the Nazis, of whom they had supplied and made a fortune making and selling their uniforms to.

          While on stage, Brand told the gathered celebrities and politicians:
          If anyone knows a bit about history and fashion, you know it was Hugo Boss who made uniforms for the Nazis.”
          He added, with less than subtle irony, “But they looked fucking fantastic, let’s face it, while they were killing people on the basis of their religion and sexuality.”

          It was later reported that Brand was kicked out by GQ’s editor, Dylan Jones. According to the comedian’s Twitter feed, the two exchanged angry words with “What you did was very offensive to Hugo Boss.” Brand replied, “What Hugo Boss did was very offensive to the Jews.”

          Thought I might ad this.

              What a load of rubbish.

              Heinrich Himmler contacts Hugo Boss, says “We need some uniforms designing.”

              What the fuck else was he going to do apart from design them? It’s not like anyone was taking adult refugees on the run from Nazi Germany.

              So Russel Brandt made a cheap gag about history and got kicked out of an award ceremony. Big fucking deal. I’d kick him just for being an irritating politically correct shithead.

              And I’d keep kicking him until he shut the fuck up complaining about a time he did not see, events he did not witness, pain he did not suffer.

              Fucking arsewipe. And may I just apologise to any genuine arsewipes reading this about the comparison between them and Russel Brandt.

                  OK, here’s why comedians resort to past history to make gags – it is completely lawful to libel (defame) the dead. So Russel Brandt (clicks heels) is on solid legal ground as far as a dead individual (the historical Henry Boss, who did indeed design Third Reich uniforms) he’s safe. Untouchable.

                  Where he’s NOT fucking untouchable is in linking that event to a very real, alive corporate identity – the current corporate brand of Henry Boss. Hence he got kicked out, and he was too much of a twat to see the connection.

                  You, me, Russel Brandt, whoever, can dare to get away with what we will. Whether or not we get away with it is down to our intelligence, ability, and drive.

                  Now, if you want to bad mouth a person for whom other people have reverence (like me describing how I feel about Russel Brandt) you can do that. But expect them to be upset, and upset people do strange things, like nail you to a tree, just to prove a point.
