Russell Brand Went On A College Tour Without His Wedding Ring? [VIDEO]

Russell Brand made a promotional video for a college campus comedy tour earlier this year.  Some in the media are looking at this video in a whole new way now that Brand and Katy Perry are divorcing.  In the video Mr. Brand is making references to being excited about sororities and at the end says he's going to put his wedding ring "somewhere very safe for the next week".

Do you think it's something more than a joke?  He is a comedian.  He does make jokes for a living.  And seems like he's smarter than to do something like this while he's married, if it meant anything more than a joke.  But I've been wrong before.  What you think?
