Lordbenny Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 Bought Politics for my 22 year old brother for Crimbo, it came wrapped but, as is xmas tradition, it was opened and watched it last night. Now, before I start I am/was a huge fan of Gervais/The office/Animals(His previous stand up vid) but this has left me somewhat bemused. He seems to have completely lost the plot and decided to offend, and I mean REALLY offend just about every one one this vid. How can he get away with comparing the holocaust with a German Porno shower scene is beyond me, not to mention the constant fun that he pokes with anyone with serious physical dissabilties. I know......he's being ironic isn't he? Well, NO he's not. If Bernhard Manning used even half of Gervais material he would'nt have his current reputation of the loveable non-pc bigot that he now has so how does Gervais get away with it? Because of a few BAFTA's & one or two golden globes that's why. No-one at the BEEB or his production company will tell him that he's just not funny, so, I emplore you, dont buy this vid. Have any of you seen it, I'll be interested to hearing your views? Quote
Mark Stanton Posted December 23, 2004 Posted December 23, 2004 Have any of you seen it, I'll be interested to hearing your views? No you wouldn't so FRO please and GAL Quote
Lordbenny Posted December 23, 2004 Author Posted December 23, 2004 Blimey, there's no need to be like that Mr Stanton, I was only expressing a view! I'm not the sort who normally rants on line but i thought I share my thoughts with some of you. I can talk cars, footie, birds or music all day if that's more up your street? Quote

Lordbenny Posted December 23, 2004 Author Posted December 23, 2004 I know this WSCC boardroom is a bit of a 'closed ship' but c'mon, dont you lot welcome new boys? I feel like a new kid at school. This is my fourth ever post! Does it help that i've got a Westy? Quote
Blatman Posted December 24, 2004 Posted December 24, 2004 Welcome know this WSCC boardroom is a bit of a 'closed ship' Er, it isn't. Maybe it's your interpretations of the postings, rather than our attitude to newbies that needs a quick reality check... As for Gervais, he's crap. I'd rather clean the toilet... Quote
