Russell Brand Neo-Situationist Revolutionary

I've long been of the opinion that had Lenny Bruce found his way to Paris and mated with a drunken Guy Debord then the resulting child reared in front of a flickering screen irraditing the infant's brain with images of 'Ripping Yarns' and 'Pete and Dud' followed by 'Black Adder' and 'Filthy, Rich and Catflap' for dessert with Radio 4 on in the background and books on the English Radical Tradition lying around open on the floor - then that child would be Russell Brand the comedian. To prove my point have a look at this footage of him leading the audience from one of his shows onto Hastings Pier.
