What happened to the British sense of humour?

I am very disappointed that 21,000 people complained about Russell Brand's Radio 2 show.  I doubt more than 2% of those people actually listened to the show.

Your football team may be rubbish, but at least you had a sense of humour ... well you did until now. Come-on England, what happened to your sense of humour?

I know Brand tends towards band taste and occasionally steps over the line, but that is the zone where British humour is at its best.
