Russell Brand has opened his mouth and let a load of words come out that have made disabled people either cry, or want to viciously beat him up with their angry, angry fists.
Has he ill-advisedly said that Katy Perry looks ‘a bit special sometimes’?
NO! Don’t be an idiot. He’s called Paralympic athletes ?novelty ?value?, which is nice of him isn’t it? This, naturally, has made a thousand unprintable jokes run through the head of team ‘spray which is most infuriating.
Just 2 days after Sith Lord Coe patronised the International Paralympic Day, Brand decided to make a funny with his brain and share it with the world who had long stopped listening.
During a gig, the man with American equine teeth, said:
?I don't give a f*** about the Olympics. It's boring Blue Peter sport and a waste of taxpayers? money.
?At least the Paralympics have some kind of novelty value or something.?
This caused Paralympians to sharpen their guns.
David Weir, who is some kind of athlete with a load of medals, said:
?Calling the sport a novelty is offensive. It's not like I get up, do one ?marathon then go to bed for the rest of the year. I train every day ? I am no different to Paula Radcliffe. Brand obviously hasn't met any Paralympians. If he did he certainly wouldn't call any of us a novelty.?
And Weir clearly hasn’t met a stand-up comedian who might say things they really don’t mean, just to get a laugh (even if it’s a little careless or irresponsible).
It’s at this point, we’re legally obliged to bring up Sachsgate, where Brand took the piss out of an old man who used to be on Fawlty Towers.
Either way, you can remember this story and, in the future, use it as a reason to hate him amongst your friends who really like him, saying things like “Sorry, I just don’t like comedians who hate disabled people”
You’re welcome.

It’s only natural that he would have more interest in the Paralympiocs, being mentally disabled himself.

It’s absolutely true that Paralympians are great athletes and hard workers… however, it’s also very true that it’s a novelty sport. Hate Brand all you want (for the record, I’m not a fan) but he speaks the truth.
