On Wednesday morning a effigy of Obama was found hanging from a tree on the University of Kentucky's campus. This stunt can only be described as totally sick.

Brand resigns over a JOKE!
Am i the only one that thinks that Russel Brand and Johnathon Ross's radio show was hilarious? After all the media hype over the last few days about how 'outrageous' the comments on the Radio 2 show were, i was expecting to be shocked to the core when i listened to the footage. Instead i found myself doubled up with laughter. Admitedly I may be slightly biased as a pre-disposed Brand and Ross fan, but come on- it was funny! The two comedians are hired for their outspoken sense of humour. People need to get a grip. In these bleak times we could all do with seeing the funny side.
