Katy Perry's outspoken husband Russell Brand is in trouble again after joking that Paralympic athletes have "novelty value".
The comedian made the jibe whilst slamming the London 2012 Games at a gig in Islington.
"I don't give a f**k about the Olympics," The People reports him saying. "It's boring Blue Peter sport and a waste of taxpayers' money. At least the Paralympics have some kind of novelty value or something."
Natasha Baker, 21, who will represent Britain in the equestrian sport of dressage, told the paper "We've suffered life-threatening illnesses. It's both *patronising and upsetting for Russell Brand to describe us as a *novelty."
Neil Coyle from the Disability Alliance added: "It's a shame a comedian of his stature should lower himself to have a pop at Paralympians. It's almost like Russell Brand has gone back to the eighties when that kind of humour was acceptable. It is really scraping the bottom of the barrel."
Brand is no stranger to controversy, having been dismissed from MTV for dressing up as Osama bin Laden and resigning from the BBC after making lewd prank calls to Andrew Sachs with Jonathan Ross.
We're wondering if his wife Katy found his new material funny?
He used to be a cool comedian with a good sense of humor. However, we must also be aware of the unhealthy influences around him. When you keep people with let's say filthy, blasphemous and pretentious behavior around you, it's only normal you turn into something like that esp. if those people are so close to you such as wife, and such. I don't blame him to be honest
It's not like he's married to people who call others "retarded"
When someone who used to be so generous to those less unfortunates to straight up rude and verbally violent, something must have changed since last year. What a clue since he posed with Indian people in the article I provided.
Satan is dragging him to hell. What a waste of accent
Who could marry such a twat?
