No more BBC for Russell Brand

Russell Brand has quit his BBC radio show after he and fellow performer Jonathan Ross were suspended indefinitely for leaving lewd messages on the voicemail of a 78-year-old actor. Also under threat is the reputation of Britain's state-funded national broadcaster, which allowed Brand's routine to make it to air.

The calls by Brand and Ross to actor Andrew Sachs — best known for playing Spanish waiter Manuel in the 1970s Britcom "Fawlty Towers" — have drawn more than 18,000 complaints. Prime Minister Gordon Brown called the comments "inappropriate and unacceptable."

"I am sorry that I upset Mr. Sachs," Brand, 33, told reporters outside his London home Wednesday. Ross, 47, said he was sorry for his "stupid error of judgment."

Can you really say he quit? I mean he was put on suspension and pretty much knew he was getting the boot anyways!
