Russell Brand dressed as Osama Bin Laden?

Question

Excuse me for being behind on the times, but out of curiosity about the host of the MTV VMA's, I googled him. I found out that he was fired from a job for coming to work dressed as Osama Bin Laden, on 9/12/01. Did he ever explain why he thought this was a good idea? I liked the guy until I read this, and I just want to know what he was thinking...

Answer 1

typical leftist....

Answer 2

i knoww what u mean...

but hard to explain i guess

lol

Answer 3

He's since said that it was obviously not a good idea.  At the time he was completely smacked out on heroin, he also took his drug dealer and his drug dealer's son with him to work that day. He clearly was not in a great decision-making frame of mind.
