unfortunately saying '...the SWINE' has crept into my stock of lame tv-derived catchphrases.
example of brilliance: on the caption competition, the screen came up and instead of a caption it just said "winning caption". brand said it was a conceptual ploy a la derrida (or words to funnier effect). that's quick thinking, for a crackhead.

I echo this post entirely: "I am torn between thinking he's very funny and thinking he's an irritating nob end. He's probably both. "
I basically don't like him, yet find myself laughing at him.

However he is very, very good at hosting BB'sBM. Given how many times it's on a week I am impressed that he can keep coming up with new iterations of not just the ballbags/SWINE link, but also "So-and-so is perfectly happy to do such-and-such, but when I suggested it would be quite good to see Aisleyne and Grace wrestling in crude oil in the middle of a desert, they looked at me like I was no better than Gary Glitter...", and the one that goes "Get in touch with us the way the Daily Mail gets in touch with asylum seekers, except use a phone instead of creating a hysterical climate of fear and distrust"...

russell re-branding himself as a philosopher guru reminds me a bit of neil strauss trying to make the pivot into positive lifestyle influencer after years of being a rancid detriment to society. it's all just a grift, and they still try to trade in on their bad-boy image as giving them bonafides of a different sort, it makes them a veteran of certain wars, allows them to reflect upon their behaviors as if they're at a complete remove while enjoying still having the image of people who have had those experiences.
