Hope this is the right place to ask this: Is there any code/opinion on swearing in articles? Both the examples here are quotes, does that make them acceptable? HilJackson 17:25, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is not censored. Swearing is acceptable on WP, especially if it is an appropriate quotation. DWaterson 22:08, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Comedy Genius or Complete Twat?
There has been a subtle edit war going on on this page over the past few months. I personally can't stand the fucker, but he clearly has quite a few fans, so I've added something slightly more balanced than the "he's great/he's shite" edits that have been added over the past few months. Please leave the comment on his style of humour more or less as it is. Damiancorrigan 20:39, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
- I don't know about "comedy genius" - but his intelligence, his wit, and his ultra-surreal imagery do make him a breath of fresh air compared to most comics. But I agree that the encyclopedia should make no comment on if he's good or not - it's just a matter of taste. -195.93.21.1 12:53, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Prostitution
I read that Russell Brand had sex with men to fuel his drug addiction years ago. Is this true? I also have a feeling he might be vegan. Anyone?
- I seem to recall him mentioning something about non-meat eating on an episode of Big Brother's Big Mouth (I think maybe on Thursday's or Friday's episode). I think he referred to Vegetarianism rather than Veganism. Diddy Didds 22:11, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Sexuality
As to the rumours about his sexuality, he often makes hints that he could be bisexual. On the Johnathan Ross show he told an anecdote in which he was staring lovingly into the eyes of a male policeman. When, on Big Brother's Big Mouth, a viewer asked the rhetorical question "is that Russell Brand gay?" Brand's only rely was "Gay? Oh, saucy." He also has no problem with kissing men, as his E4 show demonstrates.
So, he is a famous admirer of women who seems also to admire men from time to time.
Why the fascination about his sexuality? Do people envy his apparently carefree attitude towards sexuality, or does it come down to conservative prudishness?-195.93.21.1 12:31, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
I think this needs a slight re-write
I'm not sure about the comments in the article about his sexuality either, it implies that being gay is something that needs to be refuted... he's spoken very candidly about sexuality recently anyway, and made his orientation clear.
I also think that the part about him being noted for debauchery is out of date too - he's been clean for nearly three years, and stated recently that he refrains from all stimulants, even caffeine. I thank it's accurate to say he used to be noted for his debauchery and that he talks about his past behaviour in his stage show. The part about the Bin Laden stunt is too high up in the article, I think, as he's been very clear about how he feels about his previous behaviour - including it so near to the start of the article makes it seem like it's something he has no remorse about. I might have a crack at editing it when I've got more time. JamieH 15:31, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
