[quote=Jazzman]Good on Russell Brand. Comedians can be smart. Borat (Baron Sasha Cohen) and most of Monty Python’s cast went to Cambridge, which ironically is part of the class system Russell is railing against. I don’t believe that is the problem though. If it were, how does it explain the same problem of environmental issues vis-à-vis corporatism in different countries around the world.[/quote]
True. Comedians, at least many successful ones, are probably much more intelligent than the average person. They often have a very keen understanding of human nature and the political/economic systems we’ve created as a result. George Carlin was another one who had a tremendous grasp of how the world works.
