This is difficult for me. I'm not pro censorship, but I would like a way to not have to hear about Russell Brand at all. Is that possible?

I don't want to hear from him or about him. I don't want to hear from people that like him. I didn't want to hear Radio 4 talking about it this morning. I don't want to stop his free speech, I just want to avoid him

Yes: don't watch his videos and don't read or watch news coverage about him.


If only...I have never watched his videos or read about him. I don't read tabloid news. I don't watch TV news. I only listen to 'serious' radio news stations. Yet somehow I know all about this story


Because you aren't adherering to the above comment: you are reading stories about him, in fact you're also posting in the comment sections in said stories.


I didn't read the story though. I have categorically not read any stories about him ever. Yet still 'celebs' infect our lives


Interesting...I didn't expect my weird meta comment about how celebrity 'news' has become Real News to be quite so unpopular!


All kinds of vote manipulation are possible, don't take the downvoting to heart.
