Russell Brand, the English comedian who hosted this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, said this on the Graham Norton show last night:
“I once drew a face on my penis. A lot of my other achievements have been overlooked because of that.
I drew it on my “helmet.” And because I’m uncircumcised, I could draw back my foreskin to reveal the face of Helmet Harry. Which you know, served as a wonderful punch line. The element of surprise always draws laughter.
Unfortunately, I also drew concerns. People worried-why would a young man, well not so much deface a penis, because I had, in fact, given it a face…. Well, there was an investigation, I had to be spoken to…and nobody believed that I thought it was just plain clean fun.”
Clearly, the man is an artist.
