Ricky Gervais

I saw some of Ricky's "science" show on Channel 4 where he repeatedly called Susan Boyle a "mong" and then goaded the audience into complaining about it. It wasn't big, it wasn't clever and it certainly wasn't funny. I waited for the punchline, the pay off where he would make it all right, but there wasn't one. Clearly Ricky Gervais thinks he is untouchable... well he's not. There may not be laws in place to protect the disabled in the same way that ethnic minorities and women are protected but there should be. I would suggest that rather than attacking disabled people and gloating about his pathetic awards and millions in the bank, Mr Gervais should donate several million of his illgotten gains to charities like the Down Syndrome Association and then he can remove his foot from his mouth and learn to behave like an adult in polite society.

You forgive me for liking you too much,
And I'll forgive you for not liking me enough.

You forgive me for missing you so,
And I'll forgive you for being so cold.
...
You forgive me for the loud racing of my heart,
And I'll forgive you for not hearing it.

You forgive me for playing your games,
And I'll forgive you for toying with my emotions.

You forgive me for finding you so attractive,
And I'll forgive you for not noticing.

You forgive me for raising you up so high,
And I'll forgive you for bringing me down so low.

You forgive me for wanting to be with you,
And I'll forgive you for avoiding me.

You forgive me for being so pathetic,
And I'll forgive you for taking advantage of it.

You forgive me for not being able to let go,
And I'll forgive you for never having latched on.

You forgive me for having hopes and dreams,
And I'll forgive you for crushing them.

Forgiveness brings inner peace.
Do we have a deal?
