Viewers complain over Brits jokes of Russell Brand
Moldova.ORG -- Brits host Russell Brand has triggered a flood of complaints with off-colour jokes about the Queen and the Iraq war, as claims BBC.
ITV1 had received around 300 complaints by Thursday morning, while broadcasting watchdog Ofcom logged a further 135.
Ofcom said most of the calls concerned "the tone of the jokes made during the ceremony," which was shown live for the first time 
in 17 years.
Broadcaster ITV defended Brand, calling him "an edgy host for an edgy event," but apologised for any offence caused.
The presenter opened the show by poking fun at singer Robbie Williams, who is currently being treated in a rehab clinic for addiction to prescription drugs.
